This made my morning. Comprehensive, funny, inspiring, and by the end, oddly, genuinely moving. Absolutely worth your time.

Joe & @jameslark.bsky.social talk to one of their favourite authors about writing The Chimes of Midnight and Jubilee, coming to terms with your own work, and the creating unique short story collections. Insight into the writing process from one of the masters. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

I haven’t watched it for years but this last week I’ve been reminding myself of why The 10th Kingdom is one of the most gloriously irreverent and sumptuous fairytale series of all time. ‘Suck’an Elf!’

Coming tomorrow to Hamster, Martin Parsons and I discover a body (a dead one whatever sort is there?), serve loony old trout, get invited to the Fetch Prirory orgy and face one of these…

It might not have been the cream of Scotland Yard sent on to delve into the Ghostlight novelisation, but was certainly a great time! 💫

New episode! Space by Chris Carter The worst X-Files episode of all time? I draft in the self confessed 'champion of the damned' agent @felixfrazer.bsky.social to discuss the many strengths of this episode... podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Hamster Book Club - Ghost Light by Marc Platt. Quintessence of wickedness! Corruption incarnate! Until all the Atlas is pink! The Cream of Scotland Yard! Will @2broad2deeppod.bsky.social and I finally get the answers we seek from the Ghost Light novelisation... podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

The Hamster Book Club will be kicking off with some incredible interviews with Doctor Who literature writers: Jac Rayner, Steve Cole, Rob Shearman, Jonny Morris, Una McCormack, Lance Parkin, Paul Magrs…it’s going to be a hell of an opening week in the new year!

This week in Star Trek: Slow-Witted White Men, no one does much of anything at all — at least not anything that anyone will remember 23 years later. @nathanbottomley.com & Joe are staggered at how three people could dream up something this unambitious. untitledstartrekproject.com/171/

A brilliant ending to this six part classic...or a damp squib? And will @tobyhadoke.bsky.social have the audacity to rewrite what is on TV to suit his reading of the story? podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

Shomi update. He’s letting me rub his belly now. That’s trust.

Can you be racist about a fictional race of reptiles?

Coming Friday, an episode of Enterprise so tedious UTSP are left describing the one scene aliens of the week… @nathanbottomley.com ‘He looks like he’s covered in lichen’ ‘On his head it’s like desert sands that have cracked dry’

We're still mightily impressed with the production value, the thick atmosphere and the performances in this underground chiller... @tobyhadoke.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

Finish Big - ready for action!

Can the The X-Files pull off The Thing?

Alright, stop - as we collaborate - and listen! Mulder’s back with a brand new mission, Someone grabs a hold him tightly Wriggles like a Space Worm daily and nightly Will it ever stop? Yo, I don't know Put it in tequila, and it’ll glow It’s Ice, Ice, baby… X-Files Ice, Ice, baby…

This is the good Ice, the one with the Mulder and Scully UST. The Thing crossed with Alien. In snuggly casualwear.

NEW EPISODE - Ice! Gripping...or derivative? The best episode to date? I bring together two Agents to discuss the stellar guest cast and some of the most rivetting Mulder/Scully scenes to date... @felixfrazer.bsky.social @nathanbottomley.com podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

not a question, just want to put that the Purity arc’s exploration of abelism in both visions of the future and the present day really resonated with me at a time when i desperately needed to be assured that i deserved to exist thanks Jaq Rayner :)

Joe Ford & @tobyhadoke.bsky.social are very different people. One crude & coarse, the other erudite & charming. One selling a podcast on gossip & scandal, the other on trivia and critique. This unites us: we both think this is one of the best episodes of all time podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

Hibernation mode. Pure happiness.

Next week, I’ll be interviewing the glorious Jacqueline Rayner for the Hamster Book Club opening weekend in January. If you have any questions for Jac - pop them below.

We’ve had a super relaxing weekend of naps and walks and meals out. Sometimes it’s nice to just stop. I hope you’re all well.

For reasons I can’t explain, I’m really excited about The Paradise of Death

Looking forward to it.
