I think and talk about modern ánd classic #DoctorWho, #Blakes7, (retro) technology, podcasts and videogames that inspire me.

Currently planning to host the first Dutch Doctor Who Podcast with alysw.blsky.social 🎙️
I just can't get through Blake's 7's Sand. Don't know why, it should be my cup of tea, but the mind keeps wandering...

OTD 1968: #DoctorWho The Invasion
St Paul’s IS the landmark.
The Brigadier IS the Brigadier.
Tobias Vaughn IS the best-dressed of all villains.
This thrilling adventure inspires many DW stories to come…
It also inspired me to draw, and even once to buy a lovely Vaughn-stylish shirt.

#DoctorWho I didn't expect to feel this relieved by todays news!! Great to have some certainty about our favourite show's future 💙💙💙

I feel like a heathen for this - but I found Spearhead in Space quite tedious.
The good: John Pertwee was much better than I expected! He has a Troughtonish sparkle in his performance and every scene with him was great.
The story itself was slow and predictable - less original than Holmes'...

What's your best podcasting advice?

I would like to start the first Dutch Doctor Who podcast - and as a complete beginner I would love to hear your expertise.

Finishing the War Games brings an end to the black and white era - and I loved it!
I was expecting the 60s era to be boring, but instead it gave me more appreciation for Doctor Who as it is so clear how the show is rooted.
It is Doctor Who from the very start and I loved it. #DoctorWho

I got my partner to watch Series 1 of #DoctorWho which she ended up loving. Now everything is different in the Christmas Invasion and she is not a fan: "Why does he copy Christopher Eccleston next to being asleep the whole time"
Let's see how this progresses, next stop: New Earth!

Just watched #Blakes7 Power.

Is there anything known about why Ben Steed is so focused on his weird toxic battle of the sexes concept?

The things his scripts make our regulars say (especially Avon this time) really takes me out of the story, it's disheartening.

Anyone here with background info?

I just turned 30, expected this to be a big thing but right now I'm just happy to have the privilege ❤️

The Space Pirates was better than I expected!

The atmosphere and the beautiful soundtrack really convey the emptiness of space. Milo Clancey hit the right note for me as well. The Doctor could've had a bigger role.

I think this one would be better regarded if it was recovered. #DoctorWho #Classic

Quick question: What is currently the best way to watch The Space Pirates? #DoctorWho #Classic #MissingEpisodes

#DoctorWho The Seeds of Death: Another monster story like many.

Nice rocket idea, but I just can't stand the whispering Ice Warriors and their design.

Happy to see the BBC is getting their worth out of the foam machine, loved the foam cliffhanger. Zoë and Jamie work very well together!

7/10 ⭐

LOVED Aftermath and Power Play. #Blakes7

Everything worked for me: the story, the sets, the main characters (👀👀). Every plot was exciting and felt like the A plot, everyone's performance was top notch.

I really have nothing bad to say!

Don't tell anyone: I'm actually having a good time playing Doctor Who Worlds Apart.

Shame they got such a terrible start focusing on NFT's - as right now the game is just a normal card/strategy game and quite fun!

If anyone here wants to play a game with me, let me know! #DoctorWho #Gaming

The Ted Lasso episode set in Amsterdam was such a treat - I didn't even notice the double runtime until it was finished, and I had been smiling all the way through.
July 27, 2025 at 8:21 AM
Committed to watching Blake's 7 along with the @maximumpowerpodcast.com, so apparently it's time for some Big Finish between seasons 2 and 3 👀

#Blakes7 Star One: My expectations might have been a bit too high, I was a tad disappointed after the last two stories.

It felt competent without being very exciting. More Servelan would have been nice (as always).

Still, I had a good time and I can't wait to see what the next series brings!
