I have just watched Where Eagles Dare on the BBC iplayer. I've seen this film so many times it's ridiculous. The plan to root out a double agent has Cybermen levels of complexity that is baffling and incredible at the same time.

The BBC criteria for extreme weather had been breached.

Sad to hear the news about Chris Rea. He was a superb musician and by all accounts a very nice man. He was also from the north-east so of course he was a top man. I have really enjoyed his music through the years. He was incredibly prolific too - Blue Guitars comes to mind. On the Beach is a

Watched The Sea Devils @benjamincook.bsky.social edit last night. Really enjoyed it - it fairly zipped along. The biggest compliment I can give is that I didn't really notice what was missing. The music was terrific. Jon Pertwee looks like he really enjoyed this one.

I have just listened to the soundtrack to Blade Runner by Vangelis for the 2,019th time. Its such a work of genius. There's always talk of music holy grails - mine would be for the complete soundtrack, cues and all, to get an official release.

Doctor Who Magazine very generously provided frames from its run of Fifth Doctor strips to illustrate @paulscoones.bsky.social's commentary pieces on each one. These were, of course, in black and white as originally printed, having been scanned and cleaned for Panini's excellent graphic novel.

One small part I'm super-proud of is my (re)colorisation of frames from the classic Fifth Doctor strip 'The Tides of Time', including Dave Gibbons' stunning opening page displaying the Event Synthesizer in all its magnificence.

These included the full splash page for 'The Tides of Time', which I very much wanted to include in the Annual having adored it for nearly 44 years 👴! Yet editor @frontiervinyl.bsky.social had also commissioned a lovely painting by Tony Green representing all the strips to accompany Paul's feature.

The Celestial Toyroom Annual 2026 by @dwasonline.bsky.social will be available to order from their website on 23 November. The Doctor in focus for this year will be the Fifth Doctor. Hard back and soft back options will be available.
