New! My audio interview with the Power of 3 podcast about my new book An Adventure in Space and Time, in which I occasionally talked about my new book An Adventure in Space and Time. I haven't heard it but thanks to @finishedzine.bsky.social @obversebooks.co.uk

Intense first half in the biggest derby in English sport #hullfc

No more watching both Hull sides lose! It's the Ull derby aka my homesickness trigger #hullfc

I am giving my first public talk in a long time at @hullhistorycentre.bsky.social next month - all welcome!

Now published - my article on an unproduced late 1970s film biopic of Kim Philby from the pen of Arthur Hopcraft, in the same period he adapted Tinker Tailor Solder Spy for TV. With guest appearances from Michael Caine, Robert Shaw, Michael Winner... sosconference2015.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...

Recommended! A lovely read - a thoughtful chat with a seemingly well-known serial.

There are only 8 copies left of my Black Archive book about ‘The Daleks’. All the feedback so far has been very positive. Why not give it a go? Link below. It’s perfect heatwave reading!* *And equally suitable for all other meteorological conditions. obversebooks.co.uk/product/82-t...

I whizzed through this over the weekend. As intricate a case study of televison as you would expect from David, full of insight and connections through a dizzying array of sources. There are already a number of rich, rewarding books about Doctor Who's foundational days. This, happily, is another.

New aftershave in Lidl: gives you the precise aroma of a widowed policeman investigating the murder of his daughter, drawn into a wide-ranging political conspiracy involving nuclear weapons.

David described this to me in a cafe about a year ago and I've been waiting for a copy ever since.

If someone banging on about idents and transitions out of idents is your idea of a good time (such as this beauty going into Heaven Sent), head over to my new book on An Adventure in Space and Time obversebooks.co.uk/product/an-a...

Turns out that my new book is out. It's about this docudrama's skilful techniques, its re-enactments of Doctor Who scenes, paratexts (such as trails and idents), historiography and school teaching of history in the 1960s... and it celebrates Hartnell's Doctor and Who's ambitious early years.
