In 2020 I appeared on The World at One (albeit talking about the creator of Scooby Do). In 2025 I made two crude masks out of felt and crepe paper for two fairly laboured jokes on a Dr Who YouTube Channel. How times change.

May be disappearing from Blusky. Anyone trying to get hold of me can email or text me or get me through chi.ac.uk. No longer on Messenger because Zuckerberg is one of the fucks who wrecked the western world. Or if I'm still lurking I'll pick up any messages at some point.

I don't watch much telly any more, but there hasn't been a performance this year (or last year), and there's unlikely to be one next year, as good as Matt Smith's in The Death of Bunny Munro. An extraordinary performer. Dr Who was lucky to have him.

One of the benefits of giving a talk on The Box of Delights is finishing the Christmas rewatch before the end of the first week of December. Watch out for wolves.

Jane Eyre and Tenant of Wildfell Hall are both better novels but where's the Wuthering Height-style banger inspired by those novels?

God love you for dragging this out lads but it's the equivalent of people complaining about/praising to the skies a bowl of vanilla ice-cream. It's nice, it's not worth losing your head about, but there's better stuff out there.

Thanks for this Grun - a letter from America, about a UK HE story, offering a solution which doesn't actually address the issue raised in the initial article. Still, it gives a kicking to the Humanities. It's like something from the Times Higher or Blue Labour.

Someone really needs to stage a revival of RUR and invite Musk to the opening night.
