Things I have inadvertently stockpiled: Nearly 50 years worth of Dr Who Magazine Christmas Radio Times going back to 1989 Hundreds of old newspapers Lanyards from audiology conferences The past six months of partially read Private Eyes Plenty of socks with holes in the toes Old keyboards

'What’s AI? What’s real? What’s not? What’s true? What’s false? We explore that in a really fun, really action-packed, really dynamic story' Emma Clark talks to @cheeselogs.co.uk about fab new show coming to #RDGUK this half term! tinyurl.com/mr96v9e8

@cameronyardejnr.bsky.social seeing this makes me wonder ... have you ever considered a banging TV title sequence list. I know that there is only one winner - The Prisoner - but there are still some other mighty intros out there. Especially In Bed With Medinner.

Here is this week's #RadioTimes cover, which would have been a stunning piece of photography had it not been for those weird oversized coverlines. Here's what it could have looked like as a 1970s/80s edition. (Orginal image © Radio Times - this is just for fun)

Currently in a passport queue. It's longer than the flight.

The #traitorsUncloaked really is a rubbish format. Podcasts as BBC One telly is just stupid. There is no life to this - no wit, no swagger, just talking heads. It needs to be more like the Adrian Chiles years of You're Fired, or left to BBC iPlayer Radio #Traitors

How I arrived on Bluesky

This. Exactly this. Gave me nightmares for years. *Shudder* aLT text: Dr Who and Striker remove a panel from a wall to reveal a monster with big green eyes and sharp claws bursting through.

The News.

Just finished a rewatch of Life On Mars / Ashes To Ashes. Minor spoilers ahead. The final episode is both satisfying and unsatisfactory. I don't like seeing Gene helpless. A lot happens without full explanation - just implication. Should have been ambiguous? Makes me pine for another series

@cameronyardejnr.bsky.social What do you get when you get two banging theme tunes in one handy number? Not A Band have this little treat for you... youtu.be/fyWsDr2ER6Y?...

He doesn't look a day over 45... back in 1969, this is what the Daily Mirror thought Prince Charles would look like when he was middle aged.

If you want to know why TGJones is closing stores and struggling, just look at this mess. You can't reach the top shelf, or see what is being sold. Then you can't see what is on the bottom shelf as it's hidden from view. Its USP is treated so badly. Madness #TGJones #WHSmith

I've said this a few times this week - the Beeb needs to adopt an Ally Pally mentality. Find studio space and give people permission to create in it. Low budget, rough around the edges, theatre, comedy, plays, drama, lectures, book at bedtime ... Just make stuff and see what sticks.

Big Sky Audiology Clinic has donated an #Auracast transmitter to Billings Studio Theatre in Montana. This streams directly to hearing aids and earbuds for its latest production – Come From Away Read on Aurahear: aurahear.com/2026/09/audi... #Audiology #Accessibility #BluetoothLEAudio #Montana

We have a #lidl problem...

The @davegorman.bsky.social look is coming to Lidl's #SpecialBuys this week. Just in time for Hallowe'en costume planning. Goodish, I think.

Then in our month of astronomy you've got me on inflation on the 23rd September (www.gresham.ac.uk/whats-on/cos...) and then on the 25th a Festival of Astronomical Ideas (www.gresham.ac.uk/whats-on/fes...), with @helenczerski.bsky.social and other friends. All free. Come along if you can!

I'm at @greshamcollege.bsky.social tonight (in London and online) at 7pm talking about @vrubinobs.bsky.social and @lsstuk.bsky.social - tickets still available here: www.gresham.ac.uk/whats-on/sky.... 🔭

Absolutely loving the sheer bonkerness of the #LastNightOfTheProms. It's always a joyous celebration of the Proms concert season - one of the best things the licence fee gives us.

Together at last!

This #Iphone18 launch event: I reckon they'll do a rug pull at the end and say this is all made in AI. It's looking very uncanny valley at times.

Due to BBC cutbacks the next series will be Gardeners' Window Box

Train travel in the UK: Truly nothing more frustrating that someone refusing to move from the seat you've reserved before it has even left the station at the start of its journey. Now standing in a corridor as a result. Even worse - TrainPal never reserves parent & child seats together.

This jumble sale approach to merchandising of magazines in WHSmith and TGJones infuriates me. News and mags can be impulse purchases, but you need to see the covers to make a snap decision to buy. The stores have a unique proposition on the High Street and they act as if they are ashamed of it.

£1.36 for a bargain bin Mars bar in WHSmith. What was it at full price? Five squillion pounds? How I miss the WHCarpet account.

You did what?

Almost certainly the last item under Any Other Business before t'pub. Alas #SkiSunday, a show that could have been presented from a Salford broom cupboard using bought in footage rather than expensively made from a ski slope. Killed because Auntie can't see the slope for the skis.
