The conversation stemmed from my pondering the question of whose thumb is seen sticking out of the Myrka at the end of part three of Warriors of the Deep.

Rose are red Violets are ace

D’ya know what? I’m very lucky to have been born a Dr Who fan.

An eldritch being from the ancient past, risen again to a changed world. And a Silurian.

Thumbs up for the Myrka!

What's a line delivery you'll never forget?

I found Pulp performing ‘The Day Before You Came’ on BBC Radio 2’s The Piano Room absolutely electrifying.

The new Mackenzie Crook comedy Small Prophets is utterly wonderful. Don’t miss it.

That Victoria Beckham never gives up.

The thing I’ve learned about Blake’s 7 over the years is that I’m not remotely interested in its dreary premise. For me, it’s just about two actors (a third at a push, to give those other two something to talk about).

"…in the highly anticipated new series Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole (Norwegian title: Jo Nesbø's Harry Hole)" I can see why they changed the title but it's still a shame.

Episode five of our podcast is out now! This month, @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social and @gkw.bsky.social look at the TV shows that greeted the new millennium: Blue Peter, Coronation Street, Trigger Happy TV and Castaway 2000. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

The best TV series of 2025. So crisp and compelling. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Harriet totally nailed that cross examination. Amazing. #TheTraitors

So cool to have a stammerer on TV #TheTraitors

@nickwalker.bsky.social No 2025 time capsule, Nick?

Time to look back at 2025 one more time. My annual Doctor Who In Memoriam is on You Tube now. Please watch, like and circulate. Oh, and please just be nice about it and Doctor Who as there are plenty of other places you can be otherwise. youtu.be/mfNDgewmlEU?...

If you insist!

The arrival of 2026 means I finally get to use The Miss Piggy Cover Girl Fantasy Calendar 1981 that I bought in a thrift store in Conrad, Montana a decade ago.

The Innes Lloyd documentary is absolutely first rate. Also, delighted to spot Frazer Hines’ excellent taste in literature.

With some irony I find I don’t have a Christmas TV listings magazine in the house. Still, it’s all online now isn’t it?

I didn’t see Kate picking up Barclay’s discarded clothes, the old hypocrite.

Today I enjoyed this press pack quote from a TV producer, when asked why his new drama is set on a train: "If we'd gone down a different road, we'd have run aground."

Gonna tell my kids this was the 1980 Blake’s 7 Christmas Special.

Lime light.

Once again I find myself utterly enraptured by the Blake’s 7 episode Voice From The Past. Each scene more hilarious than the last.

Nigel Kneale would have really liked ‘Pluribus’. Well, in as much as Nigel Kneale liked anything.

an impossible shot? New Doctor Who content on a shot we nearly cut out of The Star Beast A Shot that (Almost) Couldn't be Done. Doctor Who: Star Beast youtu.be/U1JkABy0UBA?... via @YouTube

The first shot of the 1983 series Give Us a Break, directed by David Reynolds, is too good for 1983 BBC. Pan and track across, trains going both ways, bike rider, and ends on a closeup tracking shot of Robert Lindsay. Amazing.

Great stuff here - a fascinating story, entertainingly told.

Exactly 75 years ago, BBC Television had just begun regular broadcasting at Saturday teatimes, with the opening episode of Whirligig at 5pm. We all know what happened 13 years later - but how does this story begin...? Here's my first ever YouTube TV history video - The Story of Whirligig:

I have finished a three year long project. Original Doctor Who theme remade from the ground up. Going to take a very long nap.😴 youtu.be/pCzrppQtK9Y?...

Six-seven, six-seven *does hand gesture*

“Jack Warner? Is that you? I demand you tell me what film you’re in!”

I've had an idea... Someone told me that cos there are nearly 800 episodes of the Simpsons, it's possible to describe all other shows with a clip from a Simpsons episode. So with that in mind, I'm going to use a freezeframe/gif to describe every classic Dr Who serial 😁 1 season per day...

If you see this post a vampire that isn’t Dracula.

A wonderful instalment of my favourite Dr Who podcast. Smart, funny, focused and highly recommended – I learned so much.

Teenagers of Britain have renamed the Second Doctor’s post-War Games adventures as Season Six-Seven Six-Seven.
