Ha! Sadly not : Dad wasn’t around. So in a way Doctor Who is his fault :)

Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if she’d just said “can’t I bring in my own trouser suit”? Wouldn’t cost a penny :)

Also, Miss Garrett’s costume changes in The Ice Warriors : it’s different in episodes one and six, I think. I did wonder if something got spilt on it but then, how could you tell if it had?

I asked Tina this: she couldn’t remember. Having spoken to her, though, I definitely wouldn’t put it past her to have asked for a change: she’s no shrinking violet and won’t have been wild about the mini. She may not have had the power to demand it but that doesn’t mean she won’t have suggested it.

‘The season 16 Strictly is out, you say? I hear it’s quite good…’
‘Quite good!? I do so dislike faint praise! It’s ASTOUNDINGLY good, isn’t it K9?’
‘Very very very good, Master’

Last night was just lovely. Manchester (and looking how far some people had travelled, the North West) is so lucky to have XS Malarkey. You can see big names, rising stars and absolute freaks for insanely low prices every Tuesday night. The comedy fan's comedy club. Very precious.

Toby Hadoke @tobyhadoke.bsky.social · 14d

Happy Birthday XS Malarkey.
28 years of Tuesday night comedy. Last night’s line-up (@jainedwards.bsky.social @nottomburgess.bsky.social Josh Glanc & Chloe Petts) was a testament to the night’s ability to allow all sorts of brilliant comedians to thrive!
Thanks to our gang, our venue & our audience.

Happy belated birthday to the mighty XS Malarkey! (Almost) three decades of smashing it on a weekly basis and providing one of the loveliest environments in which to watch comedy is not to be sniffed at.

Review: Object Z

BFI Blu-ray/DVD, out now A mysterious object is approaching Earth… This 1965 serial is one I wish I’d known about many, many years ago – watching it one episode a day, rather than binging, ratchets…
