When the recovered episodes of Dalek Master Plan go onto the iPlayer, will they replace the current unrestored copy of Day of Armageddon with the DVD version?

Blake’s 7 Series C Collection is up for preorder on HMV. Ordered it right away!

I’ll freely admit the first time I ever heard of Hormuz was when it was mentioned in Marco Polo

Our sail up the Aurlandsfjorden was quite remarkable. And windy. But that added to the experience!

The view in Flåm as day turns to night

Working my way through the Tom and Jerry Hanna Barbera era and watched The Cat Concerto and it's quite possibly one of the most sublime 10 minutes of animation I've ever had the privilege to watch!

I go for one train ride and there’s a screening sold out in seconds and a petition doing the rounds Typical Tuesday then?

Just read about the Prisoner stage play and the role of Bea Smith was taken by Soo (or the voice of Soo)

A strange thing happened today. Our flight to Oslo left from Gate 42. While in the air I had a missed call from Magrathea Communications and tomorrow we’re going sailing on a fjord. I’m also 42… What does this all mean???

If the AI restoration is as shonky as I’m seeing… I’ve just bought a £60 brick

The fact that Film is Fabulous had to put out that statement tells me that a subsection of fandom were being… I almost used that word I shouldn’t use

Oooh! After a drought of inspiration, I’ve had an idea for a new video for YouTube. And yes it does slightly involve the recovered episodes. Just need them to be released

Over the next two weeks there will be a number of Doctor Who fans Googling “how to rip a permanent copy from the iPlayer”

Not quite as tight as Star Trek II but it’s still a great film and lots to enjoy. The destruction of the Enterprise is still a great is heartbreaking sequence

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Such a good film and this time fully appreciative of how tight it is. And the starship porn is off the scale. And we just spent the whole thing quoting it. One of the best Trek films if not one of the best bits of Trek!

So… Season 21. AI restoration or no AI restoration?

First proper long run in ages and that was good if hard work! Getting closer and closer to the Manchester half in May!

Well that was an absolute banger and I think a good excuse to dig out the Batman boxset

Home and time for beer, wine and Gladiators

Yes it’s amazing that the list of missing episodes has shrunk. But I’m also sad that the list of “footage from missing episodes” is now smaller. NOTE: I am not really sad

I’m still gutted The Rapping Song didn’t win

It’s our week off. Starting as we mean to go on

Some spoiler-free thoughts on what’s to come! youtu.be/ZdtXTOFYX9A?...

💕 Douglas 🥰 Bloody 😍 Camfield 💞

There are now more surviving episodes with Katarina than Sara Kingdom. Also there are more surviving episodes with Bret Vyon than Sara Kingdom. And five episodes of Magic Mavic Chen

More clips and extended clips as well. The Nightmare Begins is going to be a fascinating watch youtu.be/QvwUrJAuAHk?...

Dubbed in the episode audio for a tiny proper clip!

Let’s talk about it. Premier now: youtu.be/xGkFDvJ7D38?...

There’s a peak at a scene with Katarina and Bret on the BBC Archive YouTube youtube.com/shorts/qtM2L...

I’ve just seen Master Plan referred to as “fourteen” episodes and… They have a point. Sort of. Maybe

Fess up… who’s gone and watched the recons?

Missing episode stuff was the thing that grabbed my interest as a casual viewer and made me a fan. I have poured over the episodes, clips, audios etc since 1993. So I don’t put it lightly that today’s news is quite exciting

My list of getting the news of missing episode returns The Lion: BBC Ceefax Day of Armageddon: Restoration Team forum 2013 haul: not including gossip and rumour it was a text from @cstebbings.bsky.social that confirmed it 2026: waking up wondering why @missingepisodespod.bsky.social was live at 7am

I offer my podcasting services as “missing episodes enthusiast”

Missing Doctor Who Recovered! The Film is Fabulous! team are pleased to announce the recovery of two missing episodes of Doctor Who, from the serial entitled, ‘The Daleks’ Master Plan’: The Nightmare Begins (Broadcast: 13th Nov 1965) Devil’s Planet (Broadcast: 27th Nov 1965)

Further information on the two recovered episodes of Doctor Who can be found on the Film is Fabulous! website: filmisfabulous.org.uk/missing-doct...

I shall now be watching that clip on the BBC News site about 72 more times

Wow!

20 series on and still watching The Apprentice. God knows why but I think we still enjoy it

Quick! What kind of scientist would you want to be?

Just seen the first mention of Kris Marshall in this round of casting. Wheel turns…

There are many discussions about “who should play the next Doctor” but I think it’s more important for the series to work out who the desired audience is and what direction the producers want to take the series. And then cast accordingly.

‘What's so unpleasant about being drunk?’ ‘You ask a glass of water!’

That’s twice now Market Harborough has featured in watching for the podcast!

Doing some research for the next podcast and this current episode has a perfect example of TV people knowing fuck all about trains!

Four more episodes recorded or “in the can” as the kids might say! The mix of choices on series 2 is quite something. And still more to record (and schedule!)

“We need Doctor Who news now to stop fandom from going mad!” I hate to break this to you…

Out and about in Derby today with husband and the EMR gang. Good times out out and a restrained post drink shop in Tesco too. We’re maturing clearly

You in another decade

Back into 90s Trek and it was The Siege of AR-558. Blimey it still packs a punch and some standout performances and moments. Also proof that Sisko is quite ruthless as a tactical commander. Impressive for an episode that takes place almost entirely in stock cave set number 8
