Shame. Looks fun though. That said, calling a fundraiser for a mental health charity 'Madman in a Box' is a bit awkward. I remember Matt being uncomfortable with that line in the script at read-through.

I don't see Colin the Dalek on the poster. Have you been axed? I was looking forward to finally meeting him eye to eyestalk.

Interrupting a drag show to fight Nazis is a tradition we really should bring back.

Hello. My first book is out next week, all looking at the homophobic policy of Section 28 meant that a generation of young queer people relied on TV to make them feel seen. Pre-orders make a huge difference. You can pre-order here: geni.us/OutNowScottB...

I was only on the edge of that production because of the way it had to be structured, but I know Jamie (the director) and the team watched you - you did a message on twitter for a young Dalek cosplayer which they though was just lovely and shared in our WhatsApp group.

This rather lovely young lady was one of the rays of sunshine in Doctor Who fandom during COVID and often brought a smile to faces of the production team when they were filming Flux. Fans like this should always be celebrated and encouraged for the joy they bring. #DoctorWho

You know they axed X Factor 7 years ago? Maybe you could record a novelty song demanding they bring it back. The acts on XFactor were deliberately set up for mockery. This lot of youngsters are fully aware of the naffness of the original song and are having fun sending it up. Don't be embarrassed

A rare moment of clarity hit me tonight and I locked tf in in attempting to play/practice with some animation again. Trying to keep consistent size/shape, work on arches, timing, etc. Not complete (and don’t know if it ever will be), but sharing still ^^;

And rather predictably, she's blocked me. It's quite useful to see who she's blocked as I'm in very good company.

Julia Smith @juliasmithmum63.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

The advice is to never feed the trolls, but @eruditorumpress.com 's tone-deaf ability to make the death of the lovely Justin Richards all about her and to make herself out as the 'victim of a toxic fandom' is quite astonishing. I do hope that one day, she'll reflect on her timing and crassness.

Excellent. Steve and I are going, so we may well see you there. Will be good to catch up - especially as June filming has fallen through. I see the Sun got wind of that disaster. Lots to fill you in on about the current Cardiff shenanigans!

@dobbersw.bsky.social are you going to the Festival of the Timelords event on Saturday? It's turning out to be quite the event!

Julia Smith @juliasmithmum63.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

I can't guarantee it as schedules don't always go to plan, but if you can get over to Cardiff on Saturday 6th June, I might be able to get Rory and Ellis snapped with two Doctors - one you've definitely not met before.

Rory and Sylvester McCoy got on like a house on fire today. Rory made him a loom band bracelet in the morning (which he was still wearing this evening) and Sylv played the spoons on Rory's head - a fair exchange! Always meet your heroes! #DoctorWho

Some of my happiest professional engagements have involved Mr McCoy. He was (and is) such a generous human being and really made us all feel like family. Delighted Rory's discovered this too.

No, it's something far more important - they're watching the returned Dalek Masterplan episodes on iPlayer.

“Cooking is a way of establishing ourselves as bodies in the world” What a beautiful idea. And a Foucauldian one, too. Nigella’s rice pudding as an expression of the technology of the self.

My boys took Rover for a walk on the beach in Portmeirion today.

Portmeirion beach at low tide today. The sand goes to the horizon. Rory and Ellis are running towards the camera and a very big (and responsibility tethered) weather balloon looks up.

Loved it! 10th and 4th portrayed brilliantly and Colin looked magnificent under those lights.
