It was probably the best vocals. It was (IIRC) the first one he sang. The vocals got progressively worse I thought.

Teaching teenagers it sometimes amazes me what they are not aware of. Before last year, a lot of my pupils had not even heard of Oasis - and I teach in Manchester!

As a fully paid up, card carrying gay, I can’t believe I’ve never looked at Happiness Patrol as an attack on Section 28 🤯 I was only 10 in ‘88 but absolutely in my teenage years I heard nothing about being gay at school or college. Thank you @frakturedboy.bsky.social and @jeffgoddard.bsky.social

Right?! I know he looks like Bertie Bassett but coupled with that voice it’s terrifying.

As long as I don’t spoil my appetite - and there’s not much danger of that! 😂

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I also adore the Kandyman. Despite (or because of) his appearance I think he’s really creepy, freaky and dangerous.

Looking forward to this one later while I’m cooking tea!

Haircut day today. Much needed. Despite it getting slowly thinner and thinner.

Book number 4 dedicated to my other half by Ben Aaronovitch when he did a book signing here in Manchester. I made him pick the Remembrance line!

Such a glorious listen. Discovered about 6 months ago or so with the S18 commentaries but been exploring the back catalogue recently. I find myselfn odding along and then laughing. If you want to revel in the joy of Doctor Who , this is great to listen to.

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Then knock away! Time-Flight is shit I know it is, but all the cast know it is too. So they just think, we might as well have a bloody good time. And they do! And that carries me along with it. I am also waiting for the further adventures of Captain Stapley!

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

One of my earliest TV memories is the multi-coloured bars from the opening credits and seeing Davo’s face zoom out of the screen. That along with the Banana Splits!

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Spoilers! Enjoy! Even though I didn’t watch love at the time (despite being old enough) this still feels like my era.

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Ranking session listened to and for the most part I totally agree with Jim and Jeff - I’d just probably nudge Time-Flight a smidge higher on my rank 😂

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Buffy I get but it didn’t grab me as much as Doctor Who did. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a full episode of Xena. Might try it out.

110

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

It resonated! Convinced me to get a copy. I’ve also recently bought a book all about Doctor Who and neurodiversity interested to read that too!

121

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Really enjoyed listening to this. What other TV shows attract so many queer people to follow it? I don’t know what called me to the show but it definitely has layers and subtexts.

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

We could have a whole play set! Who needs a TARDIS console room when you could have the Barnet bypass, a police box and a TCE’d policeman’s bicycle?

120

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Or…hear me out. We need a Tegan and an Aunt Vanessa PLUS a miniaturised Aunt Vanessa from Logopolis. Bonus points if we get a red sports car too.

110

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

How has it taken until this year to get a Tegan but we’ve had a Richard Hurndall for several years?

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Is that a Five Doctors Richard Hurndall space dolly 😱

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I had to stop at the best bit! I’ll tune in to the mutual rank tomorrow. I can hardly wait!

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Quite possibly the gayest adventure in all of time and space! A great evening of queer entertainment!

020

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I feel you. We’ve all been there. Not been an easy few weeks here. But we work to get through it.

Something something Alameda. Something something nuclear wessels?

011

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Oh hahahaha. I look forward to it even more. Will I be shouting at my phone? Tbf I can see that it’s utter shite in its execution, especially that prehistoric set but I love the Heathrow stuff and the cast carry it for me. They look like they’re having a blast making it.

020

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

True! I shall sing its praises from the rooftops! I also have a soft spot for The Time Monster I think it’s the earnest silliness of it that makes me enjoy it.

030

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

I just caught up with the second part of Earthshock. Wonderful! I’m looking forward to Time-Flight next week. It’s a proper guilty pleasure of mine!

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Good to know! I saw you a few times yesterday at the Quad but never close enough to actually say hello!

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

I can recommend Bear. Nice food and good cocktails!

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Need to catch up with the second part of Earthshock. Always a great listen!

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Lots to talk about today. #EurovisionAsia has some songs selected - we’ll give our views on Korea and the Philippines. Plus a round up of our visit to #Whooverville at Derby Quad yesterday with some nuggets of goss maybe? Join us live at midday!

I wanted to ask a question about Behind The Sofa but the interviewer never asked me 😥

Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain. The downside of getting older - maybe I should convert? I’ve already got a Cyber-Hip!

Derby I am in you (have been since 7pm yesterday actually) and I am ready for #Whooverville

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

A momentous…err…moment and another great listen. I love that argument scene at the start between The Doctor and Adric - it actually feels real more so than the bickering between Sixie and Peri. I think I could quote it word for word!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this photo before. That’s a very rare occurrence these days.

#ManchesterVillagePride Parade is now done. I am broken. Please send gentle pats and pizza - all the pizza!

Another great episode. I totally see the flaws of Black Orchid but can’t help liking a lot of it - especially the bits where the TARDIS crew are having fun. More of that please and less of the ableism thanks. Keep ‘em coming!

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Sounds very cool - I’d have a bash at that. I know which film I’d like to pick - just not sure of which 60 seconds 🤔

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

I ‘liked’ this but actually really fucking hate it. How people can have it just whirring away constantly I don’t know. It drives me nuts 🤬

020

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

I also enjoyed ‘Allo ‘Allo. The fifth series is a slog as they turned it into a 26 episode series for the Americans who fell for it.

010

Mark Stockley @markstockers.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

I love the love for this episode! And in hindsight I really like how all three companions are used well in this story.
