38 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

How 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

I 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?

Quotes from the pilot episode of Derry Girls that live rent free in my head “Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not enjoying this bomb.” “I'm not being an individual on my own.” “He's a wee Ethiopian fella from Ballybofey”

When the ladies sing “He did the mash” and that guy chimes in and says “He did the MONSTER mash” that’s basically Wolfmansplaining

I went to a Star Trek convention and there was just lines and lines of Encounter at Farpoint cosplayers. I'd never seen so many Qs.

This 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

The 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

I 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

Based 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?

Genuinely 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.

Here's my test on how to tell if your body is beach ready. Do you have a body? Are you going to the beach? If the answer to both of these questions is yes then your body is beach ready.

My 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

16th August 1983 - ITV broadcasts one off play for the day called Woodentop about a young police officer's first day on the job. The success of Woodentop lead to the commissioning of a full series in 1984, renamed The Bill. The show would run for 26 years. Happy 43rd Birthday to The Bill
