There is no Doctor Who after Season 18, early 1981, as everything that follows is a dying dream in the mind of the Fourth Doctor after falling from that radio telescope.

Tell me your most unhinged Doctor Who opinion. I mean, if you’re a fan, they’re likely all unhinged anyway.

On this day in 1940 the BBC’s London headquarters, Broadcasting House, was hit by a huge bomb dropped by the Luftwaffe. Seven died and there was huge destruction.

Using oral history accounts and documents from the BBC’s own archives, I’ve tried to piece together how events unfolded that night

The Bombing of Broadcasting House

Broadcasting House in London, suffered two direct hits in the Blitz – causing widespread damage, several deaths, and many injuries.

They seemed to have forgotten what crossing the ball is. Constant passing sidewards and backwards. Andorra did very well.

England U21 game was bad. One of the worst matches I've ever seen. Never again. ~9,500 at Pride Park. Andorra did very well to be honest.

At Pride Park with my son and the England U21 team just walk past without even giving a single autograph etc to the waiting young fans.

Football is dead. I'll be reading my book in the ground.

Then I caught sight of my reflection in one of the glass cabinet windows and realised I had a tissue stuck up my nose so that my snot didn't dribble onto the desk 🤧

Two days of fever dreams and a bonus nightmare that I was still working at Hansons 😂😴

At one point in the Hansons dream a man walked past me as I was sat at the PC. Looked at me as if he was disgusted. Very odd behaviour I thought.

Off to the England U21 match against Andorra with Raman at Pride Park, later on.

Not looking forward to it. Picked up a cold/flu? Congested, short of breath and headache...and that all came along before I even began taking the frozen shoulder drugs.

Tim Curry was a 20-something stage actor living in London in the seedy, sex-drenched 1970s when he auditioned for a new B-movie musical called “The Rocky Horror Show.” In a new interview, Curry discusses the cult classic, David Bowie, Studio 54, and more. http://nyer.cm/Z9RkgrI
