The time is right
Your perfume fills my head
The stars get red
And oh, the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid like
"You just lost the game"

The finest minds and most talented artists can’t ever seem to make green-screen footage of an actor pretending they’re outdoors look convincing.
I love PLURIBUS but I saw a rooftop scene that looked barely better than this.

I just saw a Tim Vine joke book in a charity shop. I flicked it open and the first joke I saw was:
George Lucas has a snotty younger brother. His name's George Mucus.
I put the book back on the shelf. I like Tim, but sometimes it's possible to write too many jokes, isn't it?

Imagine if you get to meet God and he allows you one question, which he'll answer completely truthfully... and you waste it asking whether Patrick Troughton really did die in the middle of shagging a fan (possibly in costume, depending who's telling the urban legend).

A woman just interrupted Beth Axford's panel at this convention to complain about Doctor Who being female. Also something about "that black man."

Looking forward to seeing everyone who went to great pains to say how much they abhor political violence "of any kind" when Charlie Kirk was killed stepping forward to condemn Trump's "Punishable by death" comment in the strongest terms.
Any minute now.

Folks, I really need some help. For the last 10-15 days, I've been pretty much out of action, which has put me two weeks behind on promoting my Film Stories 500 show in London next week.
I'd be grateful for any help/support in getting the word out.
Thank you.
