this is maybe the fucking funniest thing that has ever happened on this show #CelebrityTraitors

[1976] The Morecambe and Wise Show - "The Breakfast Sketch", the musical skit, which involves Eric and Ernie dancing around a kitchen to The Stripper.

"Something's going on contrary to the laws of the universe..." "Doctor Who: Pyramids of Mars" part 1 (1975). #DoctorWho

It wouldn't be a Season 22 without an extra little mini-adventure. It's "In a Task with Sound Buttons". www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKAB...

James Blunt’s instincts are so unerringly wrong that I’m beginning to think that the person ‘You’re Beautiful’ was about must be ugly and horrible.

#DoctorWho #TargetBookClub has a Table Of Contents. Tickets: bit.ly/smallbluebox

Can you help #DoctorWho #TargetBookClub? BBC Books had organised a Target Book Shop but it's fallen through. Do you know a cuddly trader who'd like a free table to sell Dr Who books? Maybe old Targets like the market stalls of our childhood?

It's on iPlayer, plus an introduction: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Nigel Farage would have us believe that he is not a bigot, and that Reform’s gigantic lorryload of ‘bad apples’ has nothing to do with him. Well, here he is telling a disgusting homophobic ‘joke’ about the death of Stuart Lubbock, with the punchline ‘They chuck all the fags in the pool.’

@rolandbates.bsky.social Have you seen Children of Auron and Terminal are on at the BFI on the 31st? (I stupidly asked the shop account by mistake originally.)

#DoctorWho #TargetBookClub has readings from The Key To Time by @robertshearman.bsky.social, The Six Doctors by @0tralala.bsky.social and The Vampire Mutation by @stevecolewriter.bsky.social PLUS Nigel Robinson. All from works so far unpublished. Tickets: bit.ly/smallbluebox

Just 19 TICKETS LEFT for #DoctorWho #TargetBookClub on Saturday 24th October. Buy yours at bit.ly/smallbluebox

After first hearing of it in the front matter of “Timewyrm: Apocalypse” in 1991, I’ve tonight finally seen “Penda’s Fen”. I weep for the BBC we have already lost. We’re never getting this sort of thing back.

Just over a week to go, and there’s still tickets left…!!! Honestly, this was the highlight of my Who Year last year, if you can make it then come on down - you won’t be disappointed 😊😊😊

I should be in charge of everything. Like Charlie Spring, I make good choices.

The BFI Series C Blake's 7 event will be great obv. There's so many good episodes in that season, whatever they chose would still leave you disappointed at them missing out others. But the best episode is Rumours of Death. It and Terminal would have been an amazing big screen double bill.

Yes, Trump is a WHATEVER THE WORST WORD IS THAT YOU CAN SAY WITHOUT OFFENDING SOMEONE ELSE. But the best thing to do is not give him bandwidth. I'm aware I'm now doing that. But sometimes you have to. It's LOSE-LOSE, isn't it.

"A plank. The theory is very simple: you walk along it; at the end, you fall off. Drop one thousand feet. Dead." "Doctor Who: The Pirate Planet" part 3 (1978). #DoctorWho

Based on the replies, I think some people believed him. We were all admiring the vintage cars and Harry took this photo.

Earlier today when in Adric's shower, I used the travel soap that Tegan gave me. I bet that sentence has never been uttered before.

Enjoy The Night Manager? There's vintage Le Carre in Hastings tomorrow. electricpalacecinema.com/ElectricPala...

You don't hear "Depechey Mode" so much these days... unless you're on this train.

"How much Lego can you fit up your bum on a Thursday?" As passerby conversations go that one certainly caught the ear.

Christopher Owen, who played the Earthling in 𝘔𝘦𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘴 (1980), died on 26 September aged 89. (via @actorsandwriters.bsky.social) #Whoniverse #DoctorWho #Earthling #Meglos #ChristopherOwen #RIP

I would also like to add Justin Johnson’s priceless Brian Blessed story from the recording of the Cutaway Comics bonus commentary. BB is merrily TALKING when he stops dead- “OH SHIT! I FORGOT KENNETH BRANAGH’S COMING TO TEA!” Followed by a confused Sir Kenneth looming into view on the webcam…

Both these pieces are incredibly rare - no home vid release ever!! - so don't miss 'em! Here's a link: electricpalacecinema.com/ElectricPala...

As part of the TV Festival in Hastings Old Town on 11th October, I will be introducing an episode starring Denholm Elliott and Arthur Lowe, of the stunning 1970s anthology series Shades of Greene, along with a 1970 TV play by John le Carre!! It's amazing how much top quality British TV is forgotten.
