Hello friends. Can we do a mass report of this Facebook account? Intellectual property, targeted harassment etc whatever takes your fancy.

What worries me most about the situation of trans healthcare as a trans person is different from what worries me most about the sitution of trans healthcare as a science journalist.

Good news, a bumper crop of reprints are arriving tomorrow… New copies of A Peculiar Effect on the BBC, Penda's Fen, Biddy Baxter, Script Doctor and The Quatermass Experiment. Phew! Order now from tenacrebooks.co.uk

After seeing Bryan Cranston in ‘Breaking Bad’ ANTHONY HOPKINS wrote this wonderful letter to the show’s star full of admiration for Cranston's performance, claiming it to be the best acting he's ever seen.

GB News broke the broadcasting code with a horrific homophobic slur. Ofcom told it off but imposed no real punishment. So GB News did it again. So we will complain to Ofcom again. GB News can't be above the law.

Well, looks like it's Stephen King's turn to be disappointing.

People who post fake Trump social posts are helping Trump and hurting our effort to defend the truth and stave off a dictatorship. Stop it, assholes.

I really question whether I'll still live in the UK a year from now.

A Silver Archive on Robin of Sherwood, you say? Don't mind if I do...

An absolutely SUPERB thread about why TV these days is failing so much.

Assuming he’s not going to spend the entire by-election campaign in hiding (which is always a possibility), every journalist who comes into contact with him between now and polling day should ask him to confirm that he believes he has been more physically attacked than Jo Cox and David Amess.

One of my most popular tweets.

The best edit I’ve seen in weeks, you absolutely have to turn the sound on for this one.

We’re carrying an enormous - 96 meter - quilt made by the trans community and its allies through London with London Trans+ Pride on Saturday July 25th and we need volunteers to join us in making a big, beautiful statement of trans community and strength. Will you come and carry it with us?

I loved the one in Chernobyl: "What’s as big as a house, burns 20 liters of fuel every hour, puts out a shit-load of smoke and noise, and cuts an apple into three pieces? A Soviet machine made to cut apples into four pieces."

Years ago, I wrote a short story for something my mother was doing. It was about a young boy who realised Santa was an ancient demonic monster. There's a scene where he's in Santa's grotto and things start to change. The sack full of presents moves as if there's something in it...

Reading Where We Stand, Where We Fall by @lizbethmyles.bsky.social Gosh, this is enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone who understands Dr Who has been political since 1963. Up with this kind of thing!

Obscure Doctor Who reference in the behind the scenes of Mock the Week.

“Here’s the thing: Doctor Who’s written for boys. There has never been a female showrunner of Doctor Who. So my dream is this: there was a little girl who was, I don’t know — six, seven, eight — in 2005 when my series went out, and she gets the job, and she asked me back? I’d go back like a shot.”

My favorite JAWS trivia

Watching the Hammer Quatermass & the Pit. So far, we've had Sheila Steafel and Gareth Thomas in walk-on parts. One of those films that has actors from just about everything in it. Speaking of which, Julian Glover's just appeared.

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries! Now go away or I'll scism a second time!

Ooh this looks good- the BFI have a relaxed screening of Doctor Who and the Daleks on Monday 24 August introduced by Lillian Crawford.

The Royal family limited comments on the picture of JK Rowling with the queen because the replies were entirely flooded with trans flag emojis.

Better policies for a better Britain.

Just accidentally dropped the dvd of SHADA out of an open window. Technically, it was 'a defenestration of Krarg'. #DoxtorWho

For reasons best known to himself, Lord Rennard has decided today is a good day to reply to this 4 month old post. Which reminds me that I've been meaning to rewatch What's Up Doc and Yentl for awhile.

I love noticing little moments of symmetry as I travel on the London Underground network. I spotted this perfect alignment at Whitechapel station.

I am a VERY newly annointed single mum and the circumstances leading to this newfound status have been really ugly - deeply unpleasant, upsetting and destabilising. If you've ever enjoyed my books, blu-ray work or horror documentaries, now is the time to help a sister out!

@rigg.lgbt - if youve not heard this, you need to.

When people ask me if I have any good stories from when I used to interview rock stars for a living my mind often goes a bit blank, and to be honest a lot of it was quite ordinary and unremarkable, but on the other hand there is this.

An open letter, to readers, about Charity and Sylvia. I am very pained to feel the need to write this. #queerhistory #pride

I hate handing it to Kristof, but ...

According to Vincent Price, when he and Peter Lorre went to view Bela Lugosi's body during Bela's funeral, Lorre, upon seeing Lugosi dressed in his famous Dracula cape, quipped, "Do you think we should drive a stake through his heart just in case?".

Ahem. Hello. Excuse us. OI!!! You’re all invited to the virtual world premiere of the first ever (audio) sitcom by and for autistic people (poor things). All the info is here - make sure you’re signed up to our Patreon (free counts) to attend!

… it was always a he… reasonstobecheerful.world/yellow-means... But at Homeroom, discretion has remained central, except for when a customer is asked to leave, at which point he is told the reason (and in Wade’s experience, it was always a he).

RIP Penelope Keith. Here's an interview I did with her back in 2013 when Richard Briers died. Sad to think that Felicity Kendal is now the last remaining Good Lifer...

Just realised it's 37 years to the day since I left school.

Ade Edmondson didn’t catapult himself through a wall in The Young Ones just so you could tell me that AI was “inevitable.”

Batman says Bat-rights

The first year I’ve really struggled to get women on board. One final plea. I’ll gladly give up my own speaking slot because I’d really love more women and people from racially minoritised communities.

For five years, a dog greeted the mailman with his tennis ball, until one day, his owner came out holding it instead. In 2019, a new mailman started delivering in the neighborhood and quickly learned there was one house he always looked forward to. Because of the dog waiting by the front gate.

Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent “It’s your Pride?” She told me her youngest grandchild is “not she berry or he berry but no berry.” I said “Nonbinary?” She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And “Is a secret, but they are my“ *looks around, whispers* “favorite.”
