CL2 Earthsearch (1981) which concerns the Earth being moved out of the solar system and called a “mysterious planet.” I assume that was in the mix when Holmes was thinking about his Ravolox story.

Which shows have audio copies of missing TV episodes? Dr Who and Dad’s Army, Out of the Unknown, A for Andromeda and The Likely Lads… Struggling to find a longer list.

Of the 9 completely missing Dr Who stories, 6 write in or write out regular cast members. I have no reflections on this just thought it was a weird coincidence.

Things I was frightened of as a child: 1. Curtains left open at night 2. The TV show Maelstrom 3. Miss Marple (Hickson) 4. Being swung around 5. Ronald Reagan nuking us 6. Lonely countryside 7. Werewolves 8. Spiders 9. Full page skeletal Master photo in Doctor Who A Celebration 10. Murderers

Credit where it’s due I thought this week’s #StrangeNewWorlds was much stronger, with a very involving central story built around a clear moral dilemma.

Oh: this week Star Trek is a daytime soap opera. It’s like after 60 years they’ve decided there are no more Star Trek stories to tell so let’s just do some spoofs. Have forgotten what this crew is meant to be like normally.

Sadly, Hugh was brutally murdered at a wedding and his wolf’s head was sewn onto his body as he was paraded round as a grisly spectacle. Pretty sure I’ve got the right TV show.

Turns out this hotel I’m staying at in Gibraltar near Spain is where the internationally renowned artist Yoko Ono stayed after she married some English pop singer.

Ooh Matron! Hope Collection 6 is not too far off as it’s got my favourite movies in the entire run (Henry, At Your Convenience, Matron, Abroad - all 10/10 no notes).

I’m not “performing detachment”, I just had no awareness of this song before today. But while I think there’s some truth in the fragmentation of culture it’s also because I usually listen to podcasts and audiobooks rather than the radio, and am middle aged. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

Today’s Dr Who things are all like “The Solivagant Doctor and Jonty Adventures” and I have a little pang for the adventures of the Dominie and Alice.

My ongoing “gets my goat” issue remains the “Ricardians” and their bizarre fixation on the blessèd Richard III, a man in all likelihood involved in the murder of children. They now seem to think England would be a Catholic European utopia had he prevailed.

Strong recommend for #DrWho The Hallamshire Incident: best Whittaker audio and more evidence that Rochana Patel is one of Big Finish’s MVPs.
