s8-10/Segun/TVMovie/Trial/60s/S11-17 then the Howell/McCulloch/Gold ones blur into a nice but only okay mesh (although I did like it when Murray Gold chucked real strings in)

I think its a very clever inversion of the Howell version and goes somewhere, especially over the closing credits (aaaand excited geek mode off, Grussell …)

Love it a gazillion times over either of the other 80s versions. I know … minority again …

I suspect i’m in a huge minority of one, but i prefer the 86 version of Don’t Stand to the original. I know, I’m weird …

The saddest thing about Jeffrey Archer dying is that the death of George Fenton is going to get no coverage anywhere, despite contributing more to the media, arts and general goodness to life than the piece of shit that was Archer ever could.

I once spent an afternoon with Esther Rantzen doing PR with her at the Beeb back in 1991. She was utterly, utterly wonderful. RIP

This absolutely rings a bell but no idea what the programme was. My gut tells me it was a school's show rather than an OU one though

Arthur of the Britons; King of the Castle; Into the Labyrinth; The Clifton House Mystery; The Georgian House; Follow Me; The Doombolt Chase; Robin of Sherwood; Sky and Children of the Stones. All bore the name of Patrick Dromgoole, a visionary producer who passed away last week. Such sad news.

This looks fun, as always. I’ll be there too (but don't let that put you off)

Oh give me the fun and incredible alien world-building that is The Sensorites over the town-hall am-dram production that is Marinus (Voord design aside) or the snooze-fest that is Reign of Terror

It was good but it was no Strange ... that felt like Doctor Who (and then got killed off as soon as Doctor Who was announced as coming back grrrrr)

Surely thats a key to time glow at the centre?

10 years ago today I left Australia after three years working with a phenomenal team of animators, artists, writers and creatives where we produced a full 26-part kids science-fiction series for the ABC - and a decade on it’s finally available in the UK and North America for free via Amazon Prime!

It always seemed weird to me that no one at Black Sheep bothered to look up what the word “spiral” meant

I dont think they are necessarily miscast, they are just dull and irrelevant characters. The show works best when focusing on the OAPs and the charity shop

Soft/hard core; pure slapstick or farce; contemporary violence (ie Scarface or Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) - apologies for butting in 😀

The Rage Hard CD single by FGTH. I was desperately excited by the new format and it is still my chosen “master” format for music purchases over scratchy warpy vinyl and (🤢🤮) fucking download/streaming shite

Oh that’s desperately sad about Phyllida Law. Wonderful actress and writer and in an alternative universe, would actually have been cast as Lola McGovern, the first human companion in Doctor Who …

seeing people complaining how dry and dusty this summer has been and the festivsls they frequent are - the same people who are flagrantly using AI in their day-to-day life - is a case-study in irony even alanis morissette would consider too on the nose

Absolutely. Only GoldenEye comes close whereas TND and DAD are … not good

I recall from the mists of time (it may have been Target editor Christine Donaghue who told me) that PH - although a real person - was *also* effectively a writers' room and employed a number of people meaning that all his books (inc DW ones) were written by committee and he just gathered & edited.

So very sad to see that William Orbit has left us. His name crops up as a remixer and/or producer more than almost anyone else in my EDM collection. And of course his version of Samuel Barber’s Adagio will forever be a crossover masterpiece

Isnt Thunderball a song about Bond rather than Largo?

TMWTGG certainly. We have All the Time in the World is quite narrative in both OHMSS and No Time to Die. Ditto The Spy Who Loved Me.
