Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, eating her curds and whey:

Miss Flood in the ruins of the Rani's TARDIS tonight on that spin-off from Dimensions in Time. #DoctorWho #Eastenders

🤖NEW EPISODE!🤖 We're returning to The Black Archive from @obversebooks.bsky.social today, as we discuss it's latest release, Silver Nemesis, with author @cooraysmith.bsky.social on.soundcloud.com/BECqwvZvsPVo...

I hope that @paulkirkley.bsky.social’s opening essays in the DWM Chronicles are all eventually collected in a publication. The 1970 is another doozy.

Intrigued to know the rules of ‘Retro Colin Baker Gaming’

"COME, KRONOS, COME!"

My brother Paul just sent us this... 😆😆😆

"Look! Are you coming with me quietly, or do I shoot you here and now?" In time for the release of Doctor Who The Collection - Season 7, we are arranging a private signing with John Levene. Details can be found at www.cygnusalpha.org/sgt-benton Each order will come with a free gift.

“…and cut it… there”

Bluesky *is* an echo chamber but judging by my feed it's an echo chamber of people who watch classic Top of the Pops on BBC Four

You know how ‘selfie’ is now synonymous with ‘Taking a photo’? Similarly, ‘POV’ now seems to mean ‘a video with people in it’.

@stetsondoctor.bsky.social, what a great interview with your cousin twice removed in DWM. Exactly the sort of new facts and anecdotes that keeps Doctor Who so fresh and fascinating. Please pass on my best wishes and thanks to him for taking his time to put his memories down for us.

It’s a pea-souper this morning, and no mistake

We have just been asked by Tom's friends and family to share this picture of Tom Baker MBE with his birthday cake. Tom thanks everyone for there warm wishes and kind words. The cake was lovely and was bigger on the inside!

If there are no polar bears, I’ll be disappointed

Lincoln, this ain’t #Trump

When he talks about “we HAVE a Government that is failing…”, is that a rare moment of self-awareness? #trump

Sad to report that the family of Barbara Clegg - writer of the marvellous Doctor Who story Enlightenment - have asked me to share the news that she died on 7th January aged 98. RIP Barbara x

I bought a Womble pepper grinder today, it’s rubbish, everything’s either Underground or Overground.

Maureen Cleave describing the Rolling Stones to Evening Standard readers in 1964. I think this is my favourite passage in all music writing. It's packed with detail and tension, but nothing is unnecessary.

12 tickets left for Manchester's JN-T day on Sat Feb 1st. Going to be a fab day with a special performance of Stephen Wyatt's JN-T play, ME AND HIM AND WHO plus special guests Andrew Cartmel, Stephen Wyatt, Stephen Gallagher & Richard Marson. Going to sell out www.fatsoma.com/room-5064.productions

#DoctorWho The Leisure Hive, in TC3, 18th April 1980. Look at Tom Yardley-Jones' amazing composite set! The main hall, corridors, board room, lab, Brock's cabin, and the planet exterior, all linked in lovely white corrugated plastic. A new start! #CGSets
