Gutted to learn that the composer George Fenton has died. I worked closely with him on the latest Newsnight theme arrangement. He was a lovely man and leaves behind so much wonderful and iconic music. BBC News - The secret to writing a TV theme tune www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-4...

The trouble with going through the Troughton era day by day is when you read an entry like this in the present tense you really feel you ought to be able to do something about it. Like going full Sylvester and shouting "Stop! I command it!!"

I've only read as far as the AUC section but it's wonderful. (My, though, the pages feel delicate - I've already creased two of them.) What with this and the Troughton Production Diary nothing else will be getting a look-in for a while.

Ooh, lovely - look what's just arrived. (And there are my initials on the Brig's shoulder.) @wonderfulbooks.co.uk

Slug Night on BBC Two.

I went to see this a few days ago. Superb. So immersive I felt quite emotional at times. Meticulously presented, artfully edited with beautiful graphics. So much attention to detail. I'll be going again. lightroom.uk/whats-on/dav...

I've started to move away from the chunky Hammer box sets, as lovely as they are. But this will do very nicely, thank you. Saw this for the first time only a few months ago and loved it. #xtheunknown

I've decided I really like grouper. Mainly because they're big enough for these 50 year-old eyes to see, unlike the tiny creatures my dive guides try to show me. Grouper also have an air of "don't bother me, I'm thinking", which appeals.

I got a job reposting an "I got a job" post. But I didn't Like it.

Diving instructor. Couldn't handle the pressure.

Been enjoying this DVD, the final existing-in-some-form DW I didn't own, which I got for my birthday. Some great extras including one of the most well-put-together, imaginative and comprehensive making-of documentaries ever. Peter Purves saying 'bollocks' was not on my bingo card 😆

The best ever interpretation of The Thing. Always worth posting. #Thingu

Ok, about to watch the final episode of Tip Toe. 😬

I have a dripping kitchen tap that sounds like the opening to Z Cars.

I've listed this, if anyone is interested... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/11724497...

Still, hopefully we're done with "mavity" now.

SPEED was released 32 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great action movies of the ‘90s, and among the most popular of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, the story of how it came to the screen never drops below 50… 1/46

Patrick was the first - initially reluctant - interview we did for The Savages. The fact he couldn't remember it inspired my whole approach to the doc. It was lovely to spend time with him and his charming wife Amanda. Their enduring love for one another was so evident.

Make a Doctor Who title less scary.

Such sad news. Kay was a darling when I went to interview her for The Savages documentary, making sure I had something to eat after my long train journey. "We'll have a sandwich standing by for you." A warm and wonderful lady.

Well, my Doctor Who - The Movie steelbook feels like it's been in a furnace.

Just plugged in a new sub woofer. Then turned on The Good Old Days on BBC Four. Not sure Hinge and Bracket are pushing it to the max.

With a bank holiday sort-out approaching, it might be time to take the spear from The Savages documentary to the tip.

👏

How wonderful!

Oh bravo, Gav!

Wonderful news and a joy to see my timeline so full of excitement about it. It was a pessimistic Peter Purves I interviewed for The Savages doc when I raised the prospect of recovering more eps. Delighted for him. Thanks so much @filmisfabulous.bsky.social

Wordle 1,553 2/6 🟨⬛⬛🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I hope this means it's going to be a good day.

One of the best science-fiction films of all time, now out in UHD.

Spinning a new release from @bluenoterecords.bsky.social - Some Other Stuff is Grachan Moncur III's 1964 follow-up to his classic debut album Evolution. Avant-garde-tastic.

Whenever something dawns on me, I often say to myself, "Oh I see, uh, Thonmi..."

The fact is, I would now like a steelbook for every Troughton story.

Remembering/Forgetting the Savages is the best Doctor Who physical media extras I've seen in years. Far better than the actual story. Kudos to @0tralala.bsky.social, @tobyhadoke.bsky.social, and everyone involved.

Just watched the #DoctorWho documentary Remembering Forgetting The Savages. What a brilliant piece of work. It really puts one of my most-wanted missing stories in context. Than you to everyone involved.😁 @0tralala.bsky.social @tobyhadoke.bsky.social

Thanks Jon. So glad people seem to like it. Wonderful contributions from @0tralala.bsky.social, @nothinglane.bsky.social, @drtauk.bsky.social, @markayresrws.bsky.social, Gav Rymill, Marcus Hearn and others. And of course the ever wise and watchable @tobyhadoke.bsky.social.
