Hi Paul, not sure if you’ve seen the notification or email but could you advise on my bookplate order status?

Scott Varnham @scottvartwork.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I do, thank you very much! Perfectly timed, I’ll be able to grab a bunch of stuff I need

Bring Due South back to BBC Two, that’s what I say

Congratulations on your skin removal

That won’t stop companies from entering no matter where they’re based, their bid lead or equivalent role will just have to work out how to make a compelling case, or hope that they’re strong enough in other areas to make up for that disadvantage.

Fair enough - I’ve just been reading a lot of Reddit comments where people haven’t even opened the article and are just spewing any old guff! Should’ve given you a bit more credit

You have to submit a form to even show you’re eligible first - any non-serious bidders won’t get past that stage. The 3-page proposal comes later in the process.

If you do see anybody hunting for people with tender experience, let me know - I do it for a living

Scott Varnham @scottvartwork.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

If anybody needs me to write a proposal for them, I’m down! I wrote this piece when the tender was first announced, hopefully somebody will read it and think ‘yeah, let’s get that guy’. www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/do...

buttondown.com/cooray_smith... I've had what might be a new, and possibly even significant, thought about Doctor Who's late 1980s cancellation. This is a free subscribers e-mail, and free to read on the site too, but if you agree, why not become a paid subscriber? Or indeed, even if you don't.

That reminds me, I got an email the other day to say you’d finished processing an order that I’d already long received…

It’s mad to me that TV commissioners don’t do something with the Fringe, like putting a Fringe Season on BBC Two or something

5 Simpsons lines I’ve said most: 1. “Let’s do it to it” 2. “Nothing could possib-lie go wrong” 3. “Ahoy hoy” 4. “I’m gonna do X and if you get in the way, that’s your own fault” 5. “We’re in the Itchy lot” Honourable mention to the “I dunno” noise the sloth makes when Homer travels through time.

The nerve of calling artists and writers gatekeepers. We are the ones who live our LIVES around "that's too weird, too non-commercial, too focused on [minority], too like the thing we produced one of five years ago." The "gate" that we are keeping? Literally just "Do the actual fucking work."

This is what I love about the internet. It’s a very niche request but you had an answer nearly immediately

My Amazon Prime subtitles continue to make me laugh, they’ve obviously been done with primitive voice recognition or something. In this episode, Captain Scarlet says: “I see them, Mr On-Plan”

See, most of the time they’re great at delivering to me when they say they will. Unfortunately the actual post delivery has gone to shit. I never get DWM on time, for example.

I can see somebody’s already asked about Season 21 but I’m able to take 13 now if it’s still available

Scott Varnham @scottvartwork.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Not surprised by this, to be honest. I work with tenders a lot and they’re usually announced a month or two before they’re ready to give companies a chance to decide whether it’s worth putting a bid in

Ooh, I didn’t realise there were new essays. I’d preordered it already but it’s definitely even more essential now.

I’m delighted to report that I’ve written about Doctor Who for the Radio Times! It’s been getting good comments so far, with some people saying it’s the first non-histrionic coverage they’ve seen of the latest development. www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/do...

I think that’s one of the reasons that the Supermarionation shows appeal to people. It’s full of characters pressing big buttons and pulling substantial levers. @fabthepodcast.bsky.social
