Big shout out to @jeffgoddard.bsky.social & @frakturedboy.bsky.social for this week’s WITB. As a 15 year old in 1988, I HATED The Happiness Patrol. Whilst I’ll never love it, I appreciate much more & enjoy it through adult eyes. The guys give a brilliant commentary and raise great pertinent points.
As a fully paid up, card carrying gay, I can’t believe I’ve never looked at Happiness Patrol as an attack on Section 28 🤯 I was only 10 in ‘88 but absolutely in my teenage years I heard nothing about being gay at school or college. Thank you @frakturedboy.bsky.social and @jeffgoddard.bsky.social
Thats the real tragedy of the Happiness Patrol!
They just look so.... nommable!
Thank you so much, Dan! 💕
Death to the Daleks and Planet of the Daleks actually exist. For real. Mind blowing i know.
You can literally watch all of Jon Pertwee's stories (in the UK) on I player, for free, right now. Just do that instead and dont waste time with sub-Auton replicas. Please.
One of the best villain voices ever. He's a joy!
Hope you enjoy, Mark! But you shouldn't have sweets before your dinner!! 🤣
Some time ago I started a project where I adapt one scene from a #DoctorWho story into a comic book page. Four of those were printed in "Doctor Who Magazine". I loved doing it and I need to scrub some time to do more. Would love to draw an official DW comic one day. Fingers crossed!
Jim and I are doing it old school and going solo with The Happiness Patrol. So much to talk about and i'm still not sure we can do this story the justice it deserves, but if anyone can, the Kandyman can! Sweet treats await, if you can reach our soft centres!
True story. Many people check YouTube for the correct opinion.
How much personality!? Im going to need animated adventures IMMEDIATELY!
my Daughter said something about a 'Champion' last night which then prompted a spontaneous rendition of the 'Champion, the Wonder Horse' theme from me, which then led to having to explain what 'Champion the Wonder Horse' was.... which inevitably led to me being called Old. of course.
This was a lovely evening, Dave! Thank you so much for having me and indulging my waffle!
Sorry very, VERY late in the day but at 8pm @jeffgoddard.bsky.social and I will be looking at the 2011 Angel thriller 'Village of the Angels'. What does everyone think of this Flux entry from the 13th Doctor's era? We'll read them out! 😃
The tragedy of my existence being, I cant stand coffee and I cant eat chocolate. Sigh. 😭
Ah, thanks for the info, clearly human replier to my post. 🤦🏼♂️
Cheers my man, thank you!!
Thank you muchly, Michael!
