Dracaris!

First time it rang on Weds night it half woke me and I laid here thinking "did I dream that?", until the guy from over the road rang it again to tell me the car had been cannibalised. It just woke me again and I dashed downstairs... but this time it WAS a dream.

From the late ‘60s, a souvenir model of the Post Office Tower (as was). Per the blurb on the back: “The Tower itself is 619ft high including the 40ft steel lattice mast. The aerials and associated radio equipment will eventually provide for as many as 100,000 simultaneous telephone conversations.”

SPECTACULAR.

If I'm ever murdered by a fundamentalist psychopath I'd just like to be crystal clear I would not want a law to be passed in my name giving them precisely what they wanted, particularly if banning the celebration of the failure of another fundamentalist coup. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In her time she worked on many, many period dramas; All Creatures Great and Small; Play for Today; Doctor Who; and a rather smashing sounding Kate Bush pebble mill special from 1979, that I really must seek out.

If you didn't think Colin's Doctor's TV debut served him well, in 86 we got a colour edition of his first comic, with a scifi-noir asthetic that somehow suited the costume. And a wry 🐧. Meanwhile Harry Sullivan is ironing his Bond chord and ready for action, old girl... youtube.com/shorts/v-g9w...
