An interesting snippet about The Web of Fear in the newly released material from the Evening News in London. This tiny article published on the day of broadcast of Ep 1 shows that it was the specially shot trailer that triggered London Transport's query about the sets, not the episodes themselves.

Please can everyone listen to Geek Gods: Sir Ian Livingstone at 4pm and midnight please? Tell everyone about it too. Radio 4 Extra : BBC Sounds thereafter.

Does anyone here who follows me work for Sky Television at all? That's the production company side, not the TV/broadband installation end!

Stuart worked his arse off on this documentary and his experience shows in every brilliant visual flourish and thoughtful segue. Not a stone is left unturned and this film has a unique flavour all its own. And it’s about the same length as the story!!

I've made a little something for this. Well, 100 minutes of something.

Working on the Season 7 Collection, I still find myself baffled by the scene where the Doctor looks at the Silurian screen. The script says we're supposed to see the Silurian city, but for some reason they decided to show a scrappy drawing of not much. I wonder if it was some unused design sketch?

Just rewatched 12 Angry Men on Sky Arts. Still one of the finest films ever made.

Silurians 5. The off-air recording starts out poor but watchable, but by the end is unusable so Colour Recovery proved vital on this episode

Several people have asked to see more screengrabs from the new restorations on the Dr Who season 7 Bluray collection, so I’ll post some from an episode each day. Here is Silurians ep 1. Colour Recovery did not work so colour is smudgy from the NTSC Betamax off-air tape from 1977.

A gorgeous and nerdy deep dive into Doctor Who’s incidental Music. Well worth 73 minutes of your time. 😀

Episode 5 of The Frankie Howard Show, shown on 22 Mar 1966 (between Eps 3 & 4 of The Ark) featured Howard having to pay host to Peter Butterworth's large and disruptive family in his flat. Returning, he's outraged that the young son had drawn an inaccurate Dalek on his painting.

Illustrator Rod Jordan, who for many years produced the caption roller for the That’s Life! credits, also produced a Dalek illustration for the 3 Dec 1967 edition of Late Night Line Up to illustrate an item on Elwyn Jones writing a libretto for a sci-fi based (non-Dalek!) opera.

At 2.30pm on this day 58 years ago, William Hartnell first took to the stage at the Gaumont Cinema in Ipswich as Buskin the Fairy Cobbler in the touring pantomime, Puss in Boots – a production described in during its second week at Southend as being “appalling”.

Here’s one of the studio sessions for #DoctorWho The Deadly Assassin, recreated in CG! Panopticon, cloister, museum, and the Chancellery. The secondary TARDIS control room was constructed right in the middle, and struck overnight… #CGsets
