Nearly happened to me in the stacks at the Science Fiction Foundation archive at Liverpool. I had a vision of a coffin the shape of a pizza box being carried into my funeral while all my family and friends tried to stifle their sniggers.

I think it's time to send all of the Billionaires, Dementia Donnie, and his goons on a spaceship straight to the sun. Tell them they will land on it at night.

The best Companion the Doctor never had. Held his own in a story memorably described as ‘90 minutes of Tom Baker and Julian Glover insulting each other with Douglas Adams dialogue’.

And Tom Chadbon gone, one of the best things about one of the best Doctor Who stories. "That's a spaceship!" Interviewed him way back when and was lucky enough to have him in one of my audios playing a dotty time scientist. Lovely fella and did good work.

If you’re looking for a Sam Neill tribute watch this evening, can I recommend this gorgeous film and performance?

There are some great Oxford Lego builds at the new Lego store in the Westgate Centre! (Made by @ tinymedievalstories on insta). Lego Rad Cam and Lego All Souls! 👏

Star City has been a beacon of hope in an otherwise dismal TV landscape this year. A masterpiece. Give Anna Maxwell Martin the Emmy and Globe right now and spare us the formalities.

Right. Okay. This requires some backstory. In 1984, a small, low budget film studio in North Carolina produced a parody of Star Wars, called Hyperspace. It was released in the U.K. as ‘Gremloids’. The main character, shown here, was Lord Buckethead.

As it's schism month, I think you should also explain the Binface / Buckethead schism

In politics, we’re torn between ideals and practicalities, aspirations and realities, the world as we want it, and as we find it But one day a manifesto comes along that reconciles both in every pledge. A rare moment of clarity and hope

Isn't Hansard wonderful? Aren't historians wonderful? We don't have to let charlatans play us.

So, there is a precedent for vetoing an MP's resignation Viscount Chelsea (Henry Cadogan) applied for the Chiltern Hundreds in 1842 The Chancellor (Goulburn) refused because, get this, Cadogan wanted to resign to obstruct an investigation for bribery h/t @fascinatorfun.bsky.social and @gazhay.com

Now is the time for Labour, Lib Dems, Tories, and Greens to all get behind Count Binface. Do it.

Just binge-watched 4 episodes of "Star City" in a row to catch up. Going to put on something a bit lighter and less depressing now. Maybe "Threads"...

Star City S1E7. I haven't felt "how do I wait 167 hours for the next episode?" so strongly since half-way through the second season of Babylon 5.

My genuine reaction to Star City S1E6 (I'm Haddock). I love this universe.

This is the one true recipe for a Reflecting Pool: 2oz rum, 4oz pineapple juice, 1oz blue curacao, one Blue Razzberry Fruit Roll-Up

In fairness I think in some episodes it was a nuclear power station.
