Had a lovely afternoon yesterday at Riverside Studios watching "The Mirror Crack'd From Side to Side" on the big screen, with a great Q&A led by @markaldridge.info (and it was lovely of Joan Hickson's granddaughter to provide charming insight into her "Ga" and bring some amazing photos with her).
Movie style poster on the screen for "The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side" by Lee Binding.Couple of photos provided by Joan Hickson's Granddaughter. Including an adorable one of Joan doing a comedy shrug to camera while on set.

I once shared a house with a guy who didn't see the point of separating knives, forks and spoons in the cutlery drawer and just threw them in randomly. I often fantasised about murdering him.

Good morning. As a (comparatively) successful author I feel it’s time to branch out in my career. As a result, I’m excited to be stepping into the world of professional football. Since I’m physically incapable of playing football at a professional level I will be hiring what I call a “ghostballer”

Just finished "Marple: An Expert in Wickedness" by @markaldridge.info . Great stuff as ever and fascinating to see the views Christie and her estate have of the quality of the early adaptations - especially in the light of some more recent ones which are easily (at least) equal offenders.

Sadly this whole social media ban by @labouruk.bsky.social is just the “Beckton Ski Slopes” of the internet. There they decided it was probably a bad idea for a toxic wasteland to be a playground, especially for kids, so put a big fence round it saying “don’t come in here”.

The death of the comedy giant Rob Grant earlier this year, reminded me of one of my earliest ever published works, a review of Red Dwarf VIII in TV Zone way back in 1999. I like the slug line. Less keen on the inventive. I'd be gentler now. (Though it is still a terrible series.)

Really hoping @labouruk.bsky.social don't end up rallying behind Streeting. The man always comes across as "career politician". And he's even more uncanny valley than Starmer. Definitely not the one to win people over.

Jon Richardson on #hignfy last night quoting Sheila Hancock's autobiography on Donald Trump: “He’s a nasty tacky man, with silly blow-dried hair and a slapped mouth. I wanted to punch his vacuous, pampered face.” As if I didn't love her enough already.

So, finally watched Daleks Master Plan 1 and 3 (with 2 for good measure) and I'm gonna say it... they're good. Actually really rather good. Quite strong stuff with actually some nice units writing. The downsides?

Definitely haven't spent two hours of my day putting together a soundtrack album for the TV series Mongrels. Because that would be insanity. (And it definitely doesn't have two bonus tracks.)

Well, I enjoyed that. Yes it was massively lacking in subtlety, but on-the-nose-with-an-anvil seems to be RTD's style these days. But yeah, it was good fun. And I actually found the plastic-ageddon scenes oddly exciting. #thewarbetween

So, finally got round to watching #TheThursdayMurderClub last night. Enjoyed it in some ways: a great plot, some sharp, funny lines, and an impressive cast (if a little underused) but my word, it redefines the term "cosy". I've seen episodes of Downton with more bite.

Well, Happy Easter to those of you that celebrate it. I however think religion can fuck the fuck off - not least because it's caused a minor inconvenience to my life as our local supermarkets are shut because apparently they don't want to make money today.
