Day 13 of research. We have dates!

Day 12 of research. Oh, I do love the autumn.

For your consideration. RIP.

Make a Doctor Who title less scary (not that it was particularly scary before, but I like any excuse to talk about Wombles)

Day 10+11 of research. Announcement soon-ish.

Day 9 of research. There is now a calendar.

Day 8 of research. Dorset is causing problems.

Day 7 of research. Personal tragedy is a weird motivator. Plenty of work done today, as it turns out. A couple more weeks until I can announce what this is.

The Reality War is a year old today. Yeah, it’s unbroadcastable slosh, but god, was that the most fun evening ever or what. Fans screaming in pure incredulity in the streets outside the cinema. An absolute barn-burner.

The Labour Government when the Renters Reform Bill passed

Day 6 of research. A brief break now as I deal with some personal stuff. Will be back soon.

#LetterboxdFriday quite an excellent run of first-time watches (even Rock of Ages was a hoot, despite its many many flaws)

Day 5 of research. Thinking about bridges. Big bridges. Mr Big bridges.

Day 4 of research. I pitched this to my sister who seemed bewildered by it all. I’m bewildered too but I don’t show it

Well, that’s my evening gone…

Day 3 of research. It is much too hot for this, research should be done next to a fire not inside one

I’ve been watching TNG since January and Riker now finally has a beard

Day 2 of research. Pondering rocks while cooking lasagna.

The first Paddington film is the best one.

Can go for any similarly sweaty movie with Samuel L Jackson (see Jurassic Park, A Time To Kill)

This week’s Doctor Who

Isn’t she beautiful

Day 1 of research. Already drank lots of lemonade.

This wait for my TV Movie blu-ray is agonising. What did I do to deserve this torture.

Yeah alright, get stuffed Radio Times, I’m not gonna fall for this bait. I’m not gonna write my own list just to satisfy their demand for interaction. I shall not fall for it. Anyway… For no particular reason, here’s my top 30 classic Doctor Who stories www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/do...

Where is The Rescue?

Kenneth Branagh, again

Terrifying new rorschach test just dropped

Andy Burnham threatens to be the first Prime Minister to have an accent that doesn’t sound like background noise at the Ritz. More news at 11.

Wes Streeting threatens to be our worst Prime Minister since the last Prime Minister. More news at 11.

This week’s Doctor Who

This week’s SNL was a masterstroke. Hannah Waddingham is obviously pure charisma, every skit was razor sharp, and I may now be Myles Smith’s biggest fan. Very very good bit of telly.

Just finished episode 6 of Sugar. Bloody ridiculous. Apple TV is what dreams are made of.

No local elections near me today, but I hope all of those who can exercise their rights today exercises them fully and with all the sense and care in the hearts

Alien Dune: Part Two Jurassic Park The Matrix Planet of the Apes Robocop Stalker Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi Vanilla Sky Careful not to go for anything where I’d say sci-fi is the second genre, where possible

George Fouracres having a breakdown over British Pork is life changing

Trying to think of 15 TV shows I have seen is, I think, a form of cruel and unusual torture

One unusual side benefit of this Tom Cruise marathon is I am now an expert at ‘Six Degrees of Tom Cruise’. Except, for anyone even slightly noticeable in American movies, I so far haven’t needed to go past two…

Jo Martin IS the Doctor in a huge multi-platform adventure called CIRCUIT BREAKER. I directed the fabulous full-cast audio drama co-starring CENSORED and REDACTED. Well, I guess you'll just have to wait and see... #DoctorWho

👍

And if you cannnnnn believe it, I’ve now read two books this year. Hitting my yearly average in just four months, nobody is reaching numbers like these. Apart from most people, of course, but I’m not counting them

Jimmy Fallon appearing on SNL UK is the final nail. Cancellation imminent. I will soon be free.

You’re welcome everybody

A very silly comparison. A metal thing can move faster than an organic thing. Wait until you see how fast cars or trains or planes go.

Watching Sex and the City for the first time just makes it even more unbelievable that Chris Noth was on Doctor Who. Why did that happen.

So close I can almost taste it

Because I’m worth it

Huh
