"He's what? Bought a VR headset so he can watch shows and films on a massive cinema screen, or in a comfy penthouse apartment he doesn't have? What on Earth does the fool think he's playing at?"

I've started another Spearhead to War Games rewatch of Classic Who, & watching Silurians again this week scenes like this reminded me why I love the old episodic format so much. It's so nice to have moments like this that allow the story time to breathe, & us more time to get to know the characters.

Doctor Who and the Silurians - Episode Four (21st February 1970). The Doctor has no time to chat to under-secretaries, permanent or otherwise.

Not since season 2 of The Power Game jazzed up its titles have I been so entranced by the intro to an old TV show. I miss the days where title sequences meant cool theme tunes, choreographed character reveals, meaningful looks,sudden head-turnings,& editing akin to a shootout in a spaghetti Western.

What a lovely series of Space Precinct recaps Jack has been producing over the last 24 weeks! I spent much of 2024 deep in the world of the series while working on the Blu-ray set but he's continually spotted things that completely passed me by. A lovely tribute to a scrappy gem of a show!

Over on Gone & Forgotten today, it's the much-maligned 1987 ABC television adaptation of Will Eisner's The Spirit, starring Sam "Flash Gordon" Jones as the eponymous masked crimefighter and Nana "Deep Space 9" Visitor as the one castmember doing just about all of the heavy lifting. Go read:

THE SPIRIT (1987)

“I thought you were a pervert” -- “No ma'am, I’m a crimefighter”  In 1987, the ABC television network succumbed to a powerful wave of popula...

One of my fave YouTube series ever. Do yourself a favor & explore TV's most misjudged spinoff, featuring exploding frog women, killer dumpsters, scary trash bags, The Vampire, Romulus & Remus, & Griff, reviewed by someone with near-infinite enthusiasm for material that would flatten lesser mortals.

I reviewed EVERY SINGLE EPISODE of #BaywatchNights, and now all 10 1/2 HOURS of my reviews are in one handy video! Relive the madness as Mitch von Malibu inexplicably hunts sea monsters! youtu.be/glyHhkbI6SA

My thumbnail for the video, a promotional shot of Mitch, Ryan, and Griff with flashlights in a cave. The test says "REVIEWING. EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE."

Despite having the 4 disc version, the 11 disc 50th anniversary Doctor Who soundtrack set had somehow slipped my radar. This has now been rectified - & a thing of beauty it is too. Needed cleaning as I don't think it's been well looked after - but the light & sound still work!

Finally seen Moonbase 3. The DVD's been on my shelf for years, but like Star Maidens the received wisdom of 'it's bad' meant I never got round to it...so, like Star Maidens, going in with such low expectations meant I found it surprisingly enjoyable - & even gripping on occasion!

Thanks to a price drop at CeX & enough trade-in vouchers to cover most of it, I finally caught my DVD white whale - Network's release of The Gold Robbers! No doubt DCS Cradock would be proud of my persistence in tracking it down. ("Aye lad - but who's behind CeX? That's what I wanna find out!")
