Once again this clip from 1980 feels very appropriate…

Why these book clubs are such a joy. @garethbowley.bsky.social reveals his modern Tom Baker art and @devondan.bsky.social loses it and @davidjgp1983.bsky.social considers if this is an asylum with the patients in charge.

What's a poster you had up in your room growing up?

Monday…

On the final stretch of The Avengers series 3 with Mandrake and it’s still a brilliantly crafted episode. Great cast but special mention for Madge Ryan as the cold, ruthless Mrs Turner. The latest in a long line of bitches in this series

This might be madness that I have no idea how it might ever happen, but part of me would love to do one of my video deep dives as a presentation. To an audience…

This will take some time to compile and I’m doing it manually to be sure of the timings So far - The Enemy of the World 1: 9 mins - The Invasion 8: 8 mins 44 seconds - The Space Pirates 6: 13 mins 15 seconds

Hmmm… Sapphire and Steel Assignment Five. I know I enjoy it more as it goes on but to be frank the guest cast is not on the whole brilliant. And the cast can make or break these things

Can’t sleep. Too warm… so now trying to figure out why there’s so little online about the Doctor Who Dome which was at the Gateshead Garden Festival in 1990

Assignment Four of Sapphire and Steel has one of the most chilling pieces in television. The Shape has trapped Ruth in a photo and the proceeds to burn the photo. And Ruth

Although not named in the dialogue, the head Cyberman in The Moonbase is named Tarn in the scripts for Episodes 3 and 4

Saturday morning… in colour!

Oh yeah, and I suppose I should plug my book about Kneale’s The Quatermass Experiment : currently on offer in the latest edition of the Radio Times. I’m very proud of it: lots of work went into it and it was a labour of love. Everything you need to know & some gorgeous photos. #stonetapelive

A new recording has been added to The Stone Tape… #stonetapelive

“The others…” the moment Jill starts to realise there’s more going on is wonderful and chilling #stonetapelive

It’s in the computer apparently #stonetapelive

The Stone Tape’s 6.4 rating on IMDB is not deserved at all. Silly people #stonetapelive

Popping into see what’s happening at Taskerlands for #stonetapelive And it’s Hilda Fenemore (not as advertised) and the machine gun toting mother superior from The Avengers

Coming on here and being an hour behind on #TOTP means I have no idea what’s appalling you all this week

No matter how many times they shout “stand behind the yellow line” people never bother. Then they wonder why things get delayed

Filing under future ideas. Deconstruction of the Dalek Power surge scene A logical follow on to one of my favourite videos to date
