iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I’m tough on this great for reasons, some personal, and some because it’s a little over praised imho. When it was apparently adopted as a tonal template I sensed trouble. And I agree with TD’s own assessment that it “shows signs of haste.” But there are loads of terrific scenes, including this one.

Now, I don’t have any Scottish ancestry that I’m aware of, but this sounds to me like a great idea.

No. Look at her expression at the end.

And this is a beautiful, tender-tough and strikingly lyrical piece of work. Please watch if you can, while it’s on TP Encore.

When we were watching part 2 of Twin go out, the recap where multi coloured Hugo threatens the Doctor at gunpoint prompted my Mum to ask “Is that Rik from The Young Ones?”

... accompanied by Theo Travis's multitracked flute improvisations. She was really enthusiastic about the idea of this live performance and fascinated by the electronics and technicalities involved. It was a great event and I've remembered her generosity and open-mindedness ever since. RIP.

One of the reasons I've largely given up on music/spoken word combinations is that actors often don't like them - they feel the music interferes with or inhibits their performance. But some years ago at Bath Festival Stephanie Cole brilliantly read extracts from my novel The Rain Before It Falls ...

Way too early. At this point they're only looking to hear from production companies to determine which can bring the most resources, money and other elements to the table. They won't even be talking about writers for a while yet.

This made me smile, attached to an ordinary cast iron drainpipe on a house in Durham. #TinyJoys

A cast iron drain pipe going down the side of a white-painted house. A crest of red feathers and a bright orange beak made from something solid have been attached around it. It looks remarkably like "Feathers McGraw", the evil criminal penguin from The Wrong Trousers.

It's not just menhirs that enjoy continuing veneration. Many glacial erratics are on the routes of modern lithic pilgrims and assorted stone botherers. The deposited rocks serve to anchor folklore whether it's tales of Old Clip's anvil or boulders thrown by giants. – Dr. M. Benn

Now you mention it, and this may be just the power of suggestion, but I’m wondering if I’ve seen that too. The Colin Baker Interview zine from 1987? Or In Vision, The Frame? Or a local rag? The Cambridge Evening News interviewed Colin at the Arts Theatre when (I think) Corpse came to town.

Have caught up with this terrific piece this afternoon. Just about the most fun you can have with pedantic articles about lost deleted scenes, camera scripts, shooting schedules and VT editing decisions.

When you’re chronically ill, you can do everything “right” and still experience setbacks. You can “try harder” and still decline. You can do all the wellness cures, doctor’s appointments and hoop jumping and still suffer. That’s the reality of being disabled.
