Excellent TV version of #thewargame after last year’s stand-out podcast. But, blimey, what a slow-footed bunch in the COBR room.

Three years ago, me, @hermetic-arts.bsky.social and @tobyhadoke.bsky.social, helped by an extraordinary cast and crew brought The Quatermass Experiment back home to Alexandra Palace. Were you there?

Yep, it was fantastic! Especially notable for @jamescswanton.bsky.social's spooky gyrations (good name for a band).

Just watched it tonight. Clearly argued, well presented and compelling. I watched the longer economics briefing immediately afterwards for more of the rationale and was not disappointed. I have emailed my MP (Luke Charters) to urge his support for a national briefing. Keep up the excellent work!

Brilliant show by @nunkie.bsky.social tonight - Hide, Watson! - two tales of Sherlock Holmes. Great performance and clever and amusing changes to the source material. Highly recommended!

Stage setting for Hide, Watson! Showing chair and table set with pipes and gas lamp, plus Watson’s doctors bag.
