Jamie Beckwith @terriblezodin.bsky.social · 14h38 years ago today I became a Doctor Who fan. Thank you Sylvester McCoy, Sophie Aldred, Ben Aaronovitch, Andrew Cartmel, John Nathan Turner, Andrew Morgan and even Keff McCulloch. You sparked decades of imagination and indirectly set me on the path where I met my wife and became a published writer 1182

Jamie Beckwith @terriblezodin.bsky.social · 29/09/2026How many stories has Doctor Who done that rails against soulless machines that went to enslave human imagination and profit of their creative labour? The idea that the BBC would even contemplate generative AI episodes of Doctor Who is a tone deaf soul destroying idea 062

Jamie Beckwith @terriblezodin.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I am asking every man I know to think about this question honestly. If someone found a magic lamp and wished for every rapist on the earth to drop dead, how many obituaries of men you know do you think you’d end up reading and why isn’t that number zero? 010

Jamie Beckwith @terriblezodin.bsky.social · 26/08/2026This is quite tangential of course but my favourite part of As Heard on Radio Soulwax Part 2 is when the Destiny’s Child / 10CC mashup gives way to Dolly Parton’s 9 - 5 before Royksopp bleeds through. I think it’s pretty much the exact halfway of an entire album of bizarre bangers 010
Jamie Beckwith @terriblezodin.bsky.social · 26/08/2026The Worst Witch is the first thing I ever saw Tim Curry in as a kid and me and my sister and cousins watched in on an endless repeat loop so it’s seared into my brain. He has of course been in many other brilliant roles but he will always be the Grand Wizard to me 020
Jamie Beckwith @terriblezodin.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I was at the barbers and my phone was buzzing and buzzing and I was wondering what on earth could it be. Coming out and to read all the messages from friends about Tim Curry. What sad news 020
Jamie Beckwith @terriblezodin.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Based on the Uniforms we have to assume Bashir in The Begotten is a Changeling. It makes you wonder what if anything it could have done to save the baby Changeling. Did it secretly link with it and put the idea that it should morph with Odo? Or was it expendable as a risk to its sabotage mission? 010

Jamie Beckwith @terriblezodin.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Genuinely on the tram into work this morning my mind was idly thinking who I’d put in my top ten singing voices (female) and although I’m not much of a country music fan myself I thought well nonetheless Dolly Parton is on that list. 030

Jamie Beckwith @terriblezodin.bsky.social · 22/08/2026My one regret about being a Doctor Who fan too early / too late (I’m a McCoy era kid who pieces together Doctor Who in the Wilderness Years before it came back in my twenties) is I never got to play with Doctor Who themed Lego at the age it would have meant the world to me 040
