Chatting to a work colleague today and he mentioned his love of classic war films. I then said my favourite is 'Ice Cold in Alex'. He'd never heard of it..🤔😬😳

Do indulge me but I'm compiling, or trying to, a list of all actors who have appeared in both the original series of 'Dr Who' and the original 'Twilight Zone'. Two so far but happy to be corrected or updated. Jean Marsh and Terence De Marney.

This 1976 thing on BBC2 is revelationery. I knew my wife liked Thin Lizzy now she tells me she saw them at the Hammersmith in 76, she was 14 and Scott Gorham, her favourite, winked at her! Marriage, eh? Secrets, lovely secrets unearthed.

Current obsession. Dr Who 1966. Work commute in the car so going audio only. It really was travels in Time and Space back then. Historical, Far Future, etc.

I love it in 'The Traitors' where they get a superb breakfast spread served up as a buffet on a communal table but the evening meal is on a plate, trayless, precariously balanced on their laps. #thetraitors

Really good performances, a perpetual bleak air of doom everywhere and a glorious soundtrack. Every bit as good as I hoped it would be.

Blue Sky hive mind. I appeal to you. Shada. The best version to watch. I have two options on my shelf. The delux sole seperate release of the steelbook or the Season 17 collection blu ray boxset. Just want the best possible experience of the story really. Ideas?

Struggling to sleep at the moment so tonight will try and get to sleep by humming to myself the four different versions of the 'Starsky & Hutch' theme tune. Not ready for bed quite just yet but I'm stressing as I can only remember two so far.

Top notch grub and moreish ales in this quality hostelry just outside Keswick. Very dog friendly too. Weather of biblical proportions. Cosy.

Sun-dappled garden but a slight chill in the air. A real 'New Season on BBC1' feel to proceedings. 😋

Narrowly avoided a collision with a grown man on an electric scooter on the way to work earlier. He literally came from nowhere. Really? A grown man, an adult, on a scooter, I thought to myself as I drove off listening to a Dr Who television soundtrack from 1966...

Late to the party but the tv series of 'Say Nothing' was an astonishing piece of television. Just started the book. Utterly gripping.

Daughter's watching 'Clue' as a tribute to Tim Curry. I've never seen it, it's bluddy brilliant! 😃

'Jesus Loves You'. A lovely phrase to hear in a church. Not so nice to hear in a Mexican prison..

Splendid day spent at HQ yesterday. The weather gods did indeed smile down upon us.

Some advice on A-Level results day. If you are applying to do a degree in oceanography you will need 7 C's..

Sat in my back garden on a sultry summers evening with the drone of the Oxford Cheetahs speedway drifting over the rooftops always gives me big nostalgia vibes. Has mainly been a summer constant since back in the 70s when I'd sit in my parents garden playing with Evel Knievel. The toy obviously..

My profile says Dog Daddy to Hattie, our Fox Red Labrador, so anyway here she is. Slightly damp from a cooling dip in the Isis yesterday ( That's the Thames to non-Oxonians 😋😉)
