Fan page for the 1992 BBC detective series starring Nicholas Clay & Kim Thomson and the upcoming celebration book. Unofficial self-appointed series guardian!
So looking at other shows that featured cast from Virtual Murder has been fun. Until I found a show that featured a remarkable 40 Virtual Murder cast. This one may take a while......

What an absolute (nuclear) blast that was! If you missed it, I was on BBC Breakfast at around 8.40am talking about nuclear war - check it out on iPlayer! A huge thank you to Sally Nugent, Jon Kay, and the entire team.

....and another "where else have I seen them" video. This time, it's the Robertson/Degas creation "Specials"* from 1991. It's even less remembered that Virtual Murder, but it even got novelisations of its episodes!!!

So the little "VM cast in Dr Who" video I shared got me thinking about other shows that numerous cast appeared in, not just one or two. So here is the (now) second in a possible irregular series of posts. This time: VM cast in The Gentle Touch.

Working on this book is a delight, but hard work. Some things have come my way that just can't go in the book due to their very nature. For instance....would you like to see the original BBC teaser trailer??

Can anyone help me decipher this line? I'm trying to understand what the style of writing Prf. Griffiths is talking about. Sounds like "Tortu Darab" but I can't work it out.....

So @squarewindowpod.bsky.social suggests Twin Peaks as a possible influence on Virtual Murder. But what to YOU think? We may never find out, but if you had to point to an influence, what would you suggest? Without saying the Avengers!!!

Flashbacks to the early 90s this morning. Waking up on a cold wintry morning and watching Blake's 7 on the telly. It's like a Sunday on when UKGold was good.

a little bit late, but let's celebrate Virtual Murder co-creator Harry Robertson! well known as a composer, having written "Hoots Mon" as Lord Rockingham, he co-wrote cult movie Hawk The Slayer and co-created BBC Cop drama Specials for the BBC. His birthday anniversary would have been yesterday!

What are the best @bigfinish.bsky.social Christmas tales. I already know of the Chimes of Midnight and the two part Krampus tale from Ravenous 2, The Blood on Santa's Claw is a goody, but what others are really worth investigating??
