Finally had time to catch up with this today and I found it excellent. Heartily recommended to anyone with an interest in the history of British or Canadian TV drama, or in how Sydney Newman progressed from Canada to the UK, to eventually beget Dr Who, etc.
Oh yeah!
Is that a Titanic stateroom?

@garygillatt.bsky.social Just seen one out in the wild outside of Doctor Who fandom - an actor described as a "Capable and erstwhile aspiring leading man."
Michael Wynn-Jones has died - among other things, possibly the last person ever to have interviewed William Hartnell...? #DoctorWho
A new blog entry, nothing insightful, basically just collating what I have been up to this month!

Thanks for the Flight plug!
Radio Free Skaro #1087 – Circuit Broken
Download MP3 It’s the end, but the Circuit has been prepared for! Big Finish concludes the Fugitive Doctor’s multi-month, multi-platform saga with audio play Full Circuit and Short Circuits, a couple of audiobooks. Plus "The Satan Pit" hits movie theatres on…
I hope you enjoy it if you do get the chance to give it a read!
WhoNA usually have it in stock, as do The Who Shop who do ship to the US, if that helps at all?
Fury told me he thinks it was his fault it became a bigger rumour than it was, as he "made the mistake" of mentioning it at a Buffy convention panel without really realising it would be a story.
Yes, I did ask Fury about his involvement with Dan Freedman's pitch - his recollection was that basically Freedman came to see them at the Buffy writers' room to see how they worked, and that was about it. I'm afraid Ten Acre don't currently do e-books, sorry!
It's 23 years ago today since the recommissioning of #DoctorWho was announced. But how did that come about...? My book from Ten Acre Books tells the story...

I remember it well, even though I was only six-and-a-half. I remember mum and I having the preview spread open in the Radio Times introducing all the characters and noting which ones we'd 'met' as it went along.
I fear Johannes may end up being relegated to presenting Electric Circus...

Where do you stand on shelled slugs?
Evening repost for this, 70 years on from Flight into Danger's BBC showing - which started at 8.19pm and 58 seconds, fact fans, following a two-minutes-or-so on-screen introduction by Michael Barry. Yes, facing the cameras again, but at least nobody had been moaning at him this time.
