What's that? Buy Spearhead from Space for the sixth time in my life? Alright. But it must be the last. Absolutely the last. Final. Full stop. Never again. Cross my heart and hope to die. Or at least until the Standard Edition comes out.

It's been about 16 months since I was asked to make a doc about The Savages and 13 since I went to interview Peter for it. So it was great to finally be at the BFI last night to watch the animation on the big screen.

I thoroughly enjoyed this by @cooraysmith.bsky.social. It probably doesn't shift my opinion of the transmitted story very much, but it certainly adds to my already substantial appreciation of this era. It's the first of The Black Archive series I've read - I'm already looking for my next one...

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.

Had to buy a new 4k player as my old one packed up over Christmas. Naturally, the first thing I'm watching is some black and white telly from the '50s.

That does it. The NYT Spelling Bee won't let me have TIFFIN.

I realise I've never really been familiar with the episode titles for The Box of Delights, probably because of the VHS compilation.

I'm pleased to say I've informed a friend who has been on this earth for 38 years that she shares her birthday with Doctor Who. I mean, how could she not know?

Years ago the only way to get widescreen versions of some films on VHS was to buy a box set full of postcards. These days it happens with 4k and steelbooks. I keep the faith with physical media but this sort of thing just pushes me towards digital.

Yes, my favourite story is Inferno. My favourite story is also City of Death. And Ghost Light. Oh, and The Power of the Daleks...

Marvellous. (Although I'll be watching the Blu-ray this year.)

Leonard Sach's performance as Charrington keeps putting me in mind of the woman in the wood from The Dalek Invasion of Earth. Gentle, friendly - not to be trusted! #Kneale1984

Alongside some very knowledgable folk I’ll be posting facts & observations alongside tonight’s 10pm BBC4 showing of the BBC’s 1954 version of 1984 (adapted by Nigel Kneale). Follow #Kneale1984 I’ve also recorded a commentary: FREE (for 7 days) on my Patreon page. www.patreon.com/posts/1984-1...

The original performance of Nineteen Eighty-Four on Sunday, 12 December, 1954, was preceded by a five minute Interlude at 8.25pm. I don’t know which one, so let’s enjoy a bit of the classic potter’s wheel… #Kneale1984
