Just watched On Her Majesty's Secret Service on my brother's swanky ultra HD setup. The interiors now look like they were filmed at BBC TV Centre. A horrible way to watch '60s Bond.
Why does "polling" now rhyme with "lolling" in the Meeja? Was there a changeover date?
In the meantime I continue to sell the warehouse-scavenged copies of my second anthology through my shop. In this week's gilded drop I'll have five copies professionally defaced with a classic leaping goat available in the shop from 12 00 (GMT) tomorrow... 👁️ slipperyjack.bigcartel.com
A story of Friendship, Creativity, Fandom and Persistence. Fanning the Flame is a documentary film by myself and @markdonaldson.bsky.social and it tells the tale of Doctor Who’s most legendary fan film! In production and out in hopefully less than 35 years.

One of the under-sung heroes of Doctor Who, and indeed UK TV (he worked on everything!), and a very helpful fellow. RIP.
Richard Bignell@nothinglane.bsky.social · 3w agoVery sad to hear about the death of BBC film cameraman, John Walker. I'd known John for many years and he was always so willing to help out on the Doctor Who DVD/BR range with information, identifying people in photos or helping to track down others in the film unit. Top bloke.
Watched The Green Knight (2021) last night. A beautiful and haunting film.
