I’m running the Great North Run Half Marathon for the first time, along with other Big Finish writers, to support the Lewy Body Society. Genuinely daunted for reasons you’ll read in the link. I’d be so grateful if you could donate any amount to help. www.justgiving.com/page/andrew-...

Based on the Persian model of conquest followed by the installation of a plenipotentiary. I’m glad you enjoyed it so much ☺️

No, that’s an entirely new development since the events of the TV series. ☺️

Strikingly brutal from the outset. Then Liberator’s crew taunting the captured Shrinker— when Tarrant defends it (“He's an animal, Cally”) Cally’s terse reply: “Yes, and it's contagious, isn't it?” @andr3wsmith.bsky.social’s prequel was satisfyingly gruesome. www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/h...

Pleased to see this series is continuing. @andr3wsmith.bsky.social and the rest of the team have done an absolutely stellar job of taking the best of what was originally in the series and making it one of the most compelling non Doctor Who series that @bigfinish.bsky.social produces.

So sorry to learn that CHB has departed, @andr3wsmith.bsky.social. Like you, he responded so kindly and thoughtfully to tweets years ago expressing gratitude for the seeds sown in an 8yo mind by Season 18. Your mutual admiration and affection were evident in interviews and DVD extras. Condolences.

Raising a glass to Christopher H Bidmead, who brought big ideas and magic moments to Doctor Who, and commissioned writers like Christopher Bailey, @andr3wsmith.bsky.social and @stephengallagher.co.uk. A playfully cantankerous persona never quite masked a deep intelligence and a kind, generous soul.

AI's best use case will always be scams. It's scamtech, top to bottom. Everything about it is crooked. Its bedrock is theft and its legacy is the destruction of the environment, both physical and virtual. Even most of its 'legitimate' uses are a form of lying. "I wrote this." "I created this."

Sad news. We were big fans of Christopher Hamilton Bidmead and his button down approach to Doctor Who. He even critiqued our Miniscope of him in 2012. A skeptic till the end. Sunday’s episode has already been recorded, so we’ll properly pay tribute to Mr. Bidmead the week after.

"The Barbarians and the Samurai" by @andr3wsmith.bsky.social was a great historical that I aboslutely could have imagined in the 60s. And, "The Invention of Death" by @johndorney.bsky.social was an intriguing exploration of a world with no concept of death and the implications thereof.

This is the 50th anniversary of what 12yo me thought was the most exciting moment ever in #DoctorWho. On 12/4/75, over the closing titles of ep 6 of Genesis of the Daleks, the announcer said next week’s new adventure was called ‘Revenge of the Cybermen’ Cybermen! After all those years! 🤩🤩🤩
