This is a great anecdote, particularly when you consider that MM was critical of Jon Pertwee's era. I should see if Mike's up for a second go around for the 2025 Birthday Special

Just exchanging a handful of posts about it has me scrambling to rewatch it.

We've done four episodes on The Final Programme already. I don't need much of an excuse to rinse it for a fifth... But damn it this could be it!

I only recently declared to myself that The Keep would be my last double-dip. Oh well. Perhaps this one will be 4k...

Released on this day 50 years ago: Godbluff! My first Van der Graaf Generator LP - picked up in 1984 from the blessed Selectadisc second-hand vaults on Market Street, Notts - and still my favourite. It is amazing. If you've never heard it, now is the time www.youtube.com/watch?v=3prX...

Episode 7 of Starship Alexandria goes live tomorrow. We discuss The Ministry of The Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. The end blooper is one of my favourites, mostly because making @aptshadow.bsky.social dissolve into giggles with the opening line of the show made me so happy! starshipalexandria.com

Being born and bred in Sunderland, I suppose I should read Alice now.

Never realised Bryan was the one who did the artwork in Keel Square, my Granddad is on the memorial wheel there too, so this has been a real colliding of worlds.

This @shiftctrlmusic.com comp is out on friday.

I wrote a short and sweet prog track for this and titled it from an Aimé Césaire quote so that maybe someone will accidentally look up the title one day and become a better person.

A real eclectic mix of tunes here I'm looking forward to it.

I am discovering in middle age that I have apparently developed the music taste of a teenage stoner in 1985. I spent an hour today listening to Blue Oyster Cult's "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" (co-written by Michael Moorcock!) & muttering "this is deep, man."

Try the King Django and the Scrucialists cover. Always a sign of a great song when it can be done as reggae and still dominate.

I had the original TORG box set back in the day but never did anything with it. Still have my lovely D20 from that set even though I moved the game on years and years ago. It's given great service. I think I still have the first TORG novel on a shelf somewhere. Storm Knights?
