Don’t know about you, but I did *not* have Will Ferrell & Rami Malek on my bingo card for this year’s Shada rehash.

I regret to inform you Evil Annie has been at it again.

Supposedly the Doctor and Chris Parsons, but honestly, it’s anyone’s guess.

As long as you keep nudging B7 back into public view, it might just be a price worth paying…. 🤨

This is very surreal.
It beats the moment some obsessive helped Jon Kay find the BBC Breakfast Time sofa of 1983. 😂

#RIP Prunella Scales. Photo by John Deakin, 1964.

A lot of people on social media like to point out that when people die the tributes are often accompanied by photos of them when they were young and beautiful (as opposed to old and beautiful). So let me just say that I’m posting this because it’s one of my favourite portraits full stop by one of the greatest ever British portrait photographers. And fuck off.

Looking at you, UK government...

Ed Newton-Rex @ednewtonrex.bsky.social · 8d

In huge positive news, the Australian government just ruled out handing the work of their country’s creatives to AI companies for free 🙌

They resisted the well-funded tech lobby & shut down proposals to upend copyright law.

Other governments should do the same!

Caught a late-night screening when it was originally on UK release - was *so* much fun seeing it with an audience.

#DoctorWho The Leisure Hive, in TC3, 18th April 1980. Look at Tom Yardley-Jones' amazing composite set! The main hall, corridors, board room, lab, Brock's cabin, and the planet exterior, all linked in lovely white corrugated plastic. A new start! #CGSets

A CG recreation of the sets for The Leisure Hive in studio TC3, viewed from above. The sets for Argolis are all connected by plastic corridors, so it is possible to walk from anyone to any other used in the story.

Commenting again purely because Bluesky won’t let me like it again. Bloody gorgeous.

Twice: one last year at Brean Sands Holiday Park (pictured); and one this summer, up the road at Weston-super-Mare. I found the milkshake option sorely tempting on both occasions.

Dancing frogs have become a symbol of resistance in the USA.

Interestingly, over a decade ago David Graeber wrote a piece on the power of such symbols in protest movements.

The piece is called - On the Phenomenology of Giant Puppets. Here is an extract.

I also want to ask why it is that American police seem to hate the giant
puppets (at protests). As many activists have observed, the forces of
order in the United States seem to have a profound aversion to giant
puppets.

Often police strategies aim to destroy or capture them before they can
even appear on the streets. As a result, a major concern for those
planning actions soon became how to hide the puppets so they would
not be destroyed in preemptive attacks. What’s more, for many individual
officers at least, the objection to puppets appeared to be not merely
strategic, but personal, even visceral. Cops just hate puppets
.

The predator lands in a series of 1970s Public Information Films.

Predator vs the Spirit of Dark & Lonely Water. It’s the perfect place… for an accident.

Predator vs a Rug on a Polished Floor. You might as well set a mantrap.

Predator vs the Green Cross Code. Stop. Look. Listen. Fight!!!

The predator lands at ATV in the 1970s. Can the cast of crossroads deliver a full episode shot as live while being stalked by the predator? Find out in Benny vs Predator

Alexander Fox @alexanderfox1.bsky.social · 17d

The Predator lands into the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748. Can John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, battle this extra-terrestrial warrior, while also avoiding a commercial trade embargo with Spain and recognising Prussia’s acquisition of Silesia from the Habsburg Empire?

Should anyone have any tips for the #JustGoodFriends episode (“Pregnant?” from late S2 was my best guess - one of many curious choices!) then I reckon it might actually be a full house…

Reminds of the Alexi Sayle quote

Well of course there’s a world of difference between “six months’ solid graft” and “six months of chipping away at it every now and then when I’ve nothing better to do”.

I often think life would be far simpler if this was more widely acknowledged.
