Poss not the time to admit I've never seen Heaven Sent

Today's church collecting took in St Mary's, Kempley - looking pretty in pink 💅🏼

The existence of Poland and La La Land implies the existence of Dipsyland and Tinky Winky Land

Day off and a book of Rudkin stories 👌🏼

Perfect set-up for a BBC One 'Circle' ident

Yeah I'll apply for this "Director-General" job I guess, can't hurt

"Better save money for buying Christmas presents" *unhesitatingly buys £35 book of David Rudkin stories for self*

"Dalek, you have been defeated. Surrender! You have failed. No goal is available to you."

These end-of-year self-assessments are brutal

Cut the hand off the man hanging by the crossroads for 20% off your next order

Sending this to every person who drops an apostrophe

'An angel satyr walks these hills'

Love how 0-100 the Dalek's response to the Doctor's incredibly weak jibe is. "Yeah well, in a few minutes you're gonna be in so much pain you'll be literally WORSHIPPING me, so blaaaaaah to you 😡" Absolutely rattled

Watched the Robert Holmes documentary on the Two Doctors DVD, and knew I wanted to work in television (happy Doctor Who Day?)

On the one hand I feel the 22nd of November is too early for an Xmas market, but at the same time let's gooooo

Gosh, Dekalog: One takes it out of you on a Friday night, but I adore the strange marriage of gut-punch emotion and flickers of weirdness

Southampton FC currently selling the plastic death chair from Terror of the Autons

Fuck yes

Spotify really overestimating my interest in podcasts by American dude bros in baseball caps

Got my first rolls of film back. Mostly shite, but can try and claim the poor aperture-based blurriness is a creative choice intended to create a dreamlike effect, or something.

I think my favourite Italian director is this Giallo fella

Is it doctor who

When they restored Lord Sandys' Spout in Malvern, they incorporated old discovered bottles of Malvern water into the brickwork

It's been dragged out of retirement for one last job

My love

The urge for lashings of hot porridge awakes from its summer slumber

Scariest Dibnah bit bar none

"What is this!? Some kinda war between the land and the sea!?"

🚨PSA🚨 New British Cryptids film has landed. Perfect for those of a 1970s British Public Information Film bent youtu.be/XTTw5jquP-k?...

Bit sorry that November and December are becoming the time of storms each year

An American commentator so overawed by a goal that he screams the name of his favourite British TV show

Day 16 without WiFi, and..... THE WIFI HAS BEEN FIXED

Nothing like a creepy evening walk to lift the spirits

Day 15 without WiFi Another engineer visit has been booked. I'm starting to get suspicious.

Pembridge is lovely. There's a sign stuck into the roof of the church's porch that says 'Helen Mirren', for some reason.

THE DONGLE IS NOW WORKING

The view from The Malvern Bookshop looking out over the Priory churchyard, taken today as I performatively searched for books to performatively buy, taking them home to performatively read.

Day 14 without WiFi We've been sent a dongle to use while they investigate our issue, but that also doesn't work

William Ager: 😡

I'll tell you who loves the BBC

Pemberton and Shearsmith to be announced as joint Director-Generals of the BBC

The Power of the Daleks (to make magnolia walls look nicer)

Robert Graves recalls seeing a ghost during the Great War

A.M. Burrage recalls an uncanny incident during the Great War

Day 12 without WiFi Gearing up for another day of talking to customer services

Day 11 without WiFi Openreach saying it's a Vodafone issue. Vodafone saying it's an Openreach issue.

I love the language of the curry house. Why the insistence on 'capsicum' rather than 'pepper'? Who hit upon the term 'sundries'? Who is Mr N Morris?? I want no answers to these questions, but simply to enjoy the mystery.

Day 10 without WiFi. Just been asked for the 8,000th time if all the cables are plugged in correctly.
