With all this Eastenders anniversary talk I suppose I should share my favourite fact about the show: Dead Reg Cox, the body found in the very first scene of Eastenders, was played by Johnny Clayton who was the spiky faced Delegate in Doctor Who’s Mission to the Unknown.

You don’t want to miss the fabulous, caustic and side-splittingly funny @sarabarron.bsky.social at @xsmalarkey.com at 53Two tonight. Always worth a watch so do pop in if you can.

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!!

Lovely shows at @xsmalarkey.com these past two weeks - acts including @misterabk.bsky.social @josielong.bsky.social doing brilliant things and the night selling out. Do make sure to come to 53Two of a Tuesday xx

Ed Stradling has a Patreon with loads of video content which should be catnip to my archive TV loving friends. Highly recommended: he does diligent, accessible work with loads of amazing clips. It’s called The TV Museum. www.patreon.com/posts/121801...

A fond farewell to Christopher Benjamin today. Lots of love in the room and a happy/sad remembrance of his life and work. I’m lucky to have spent time with him but sad to think I’ll not have the pleasure of doing so again. What a lovely man: and such a marvellous actor.

A while ago, I loved having the chance to talk about one of my favourite bits of Doctor Who, namely ‘The Deadly Assassin’ for @tobyhadoke.bsky.social on his podcast. First two eps are up on YouTube and on all podcast providers.
