Watched Star Trek IV : The Voyage Home* on the big screen for the first time last night. It's so much fun! Reminds me of my childhood as my entire family quoted it regularly! *The one with the whales 🐋

Next Wednesday I'm giving my 'what was filmed at Highgate Cemetery' talk online. As much about what it's like for a cemetery to be a location as the filming itself. But there's lots of cool and rare clips!

In 1976, the Bishopbriggs Times interviewed a 17-year-old Doctor Who fan called Peter Capaldi about his favourite programme...
Newspaper article from the Bishopbriggs Times headlined "All Peter wants is a Tardis in his bedroom!" with a secondary headline "The fan who's a friend of all the stars," byline "By Alister Blyth." The article is about a young Peter Capaldi, aged 17, a devoted Doctor Who fan who has befriended cast members of the show. Text columns are accompanied by four photos: a large image of a Dalek prop; a photo of Peter with Jon Pertwee, captioned "Peter and friend...with Jon Pertwee, who first invited Peter down to the studios to see 'Dr Who' filmed"; a photo of Peter with Elizabeth Sladen holding a stuffed toy, captioned "Peter and friend...with Elizabeth Sladen, who plays Sarah in the series. She introduced him to Tom Baker"; and a photo of Peter with Tom Baker, captioned "Peter and friend...with Tom Baker, the latest 'Dr Who'. 'The stars are all marvellous,' says Peter. 'They make you feel so important.'"

We just got a mobile phone emergency alert about UK wildfires. Not in our area, just in general. There really needs to be a gradient of these, from say "don't use fireworks" to "nukes are raining down on us as you read this".

It’s the 88th anniversary today of this immensely enjoyable headline 🧵
12 boys rout fascists
Twelve boys, some of them less than 10 years old, went to Weymouth beach and barracked Mr Robert Saunders, a Fascist speaker.
He ignored them, so they went away and returned with toffee tins half filled with stones.
Using the tins as rattles, they made so much noise that Mr Arthur England, a 63-year-old Weymouth magistrate and superintendent of the beach, approached to stop them.
A crowd of holiday-makers, sympathising with the children, booed Mr England and a sock filled with sand caught him behind the ear.
In the sand battle that followed, the Fascists were pelted off the beach.
About 5,000 people followed them to their car, overturned the trailer attached it, and filled the loud speaker equipment with sand.

Happy 30th McGanniversary! Especially if your #DoctorWho journey began on that late May Bank Holiday Monday evening back in 1996. Almost nine years we Children Of The TV Movie had to wait for the next new episode to turn up on TV. NINE BLOODY YEARS. But hey, didn't we have fun in the meantime?
