What’s the quality like? Have they been back to the original tapes?

I do have nostalgia for the late 90s

It does strike me that if Richard E Grant had played Scream of the Shalka the way he's played Traitors, he could have been the Doctor in 2005

Thanks

Did they only have Richard E Grant under contract for two days or something?

There's definitely a bit in Under Pressure where Freddie Mercury shouts 'Bellhop!'

I’m currently deep into Shakespeare and Hathaway, and it’s absolutely glorious. Fairly run-of-the-mill cosy detective drama, but Jo Joyner and Mark Benton are fantastic together: they’re always adding little bits of business and doing gags with each other. You can tell they’re loving every second.

My Dad was on Winner Takes All in the 70s. Would love to see it...

Last of the Summer Wine. Absolutely serious: in 1973, it’s one of the most well-observed, philosophical and funny series on telly. Brilliantly written. Men as bairns. Then after Foggy leaves and Uncle of the Bride it turns into formulaic ‘going downhill in a bath/sidecar/piano-on-wheels’ territory.

Welcome to the internet, Scott

@andreworton.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 1:32 PM

I am absolutely ready to watch the first episode of this, think it is exciting fantastic and exactly the sort of thing the series needs, then never watch any more of it and put The Aztecs on instead. #DoctorWho

A red sentient toaster is a great idea
