They wish I gave them the silent treatment for this. They WISH.

Stay tuned, that all I’m saying…
Who is making Iain weak at the knees?

Who did Mark upset online?

Which podcaster is bound to be preparing to give the boys a visit with his baseball bat?

All of this and more is revealed in today’s episode!

What has the ECHR ever done for us?

Quite a lot actually, and we wrote it too.

Did week one of the latest Doctor Who spin-off, The War Between the Land and the Sea, run aground, take flight, or sink without trace?

A heads-up, fellow UK-based #DoctorWho fans, the recent animated version of the mostly-missing William Hartnell story The Celestial Toymaker has now been added to the BBC Iplayer and it's a superb interpretation!

Parts 1 &3 are especiaĺly delightful. ❤️👏

Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.”

Here he is, not only wearing a mask, but also getting vaccinated…

Just an insight in to how the podcast is going. I nearly broke our glass table and poured hot wax over my leg whilst attempting to record a trailer.

It’s fair to say, expect chaos from it when episode one drops in Jan 2026.
What the world needs right now is another movie podcast so that’s exactly what Jack and I are doing in 2026.

We’re always watching and rambling on to one another, so it seems right to record it too.

We’re over on Instagram if you fancy following too!

Disabled people driving luxury cars on your dime? Just the latest rightwing lie peddled by Labour.

Govts stigmatize people claiming benefits as scroungers, claim fraud is rife.

Silence on corporate welfare, tax abuse by corporations/rich. HMRC failed to collect over £500bn tax since 2010.

Hi! I’ve decided to start posting here on Bluesky again from time to time. Back out with the camera after a couple of weeks of rain and life getting in the way. A dusk visit to Exeter Quay gave me this long exposure of the overflow channel in flood – usually you can walk across it but not this week!

I realise, increasingly, I'm pissing people off doing these giveaways & I am thoroughly aware of what a deeply hurtful & thoughtless thing it is do to people's timelines. But don't worry. I'm stopping after this. I'm exhausted from posting books all year. Also, I can't afford to do it any more.

Terrance's planned vampire story has been unexpectedly cancelled, and he has only a few weeks to come up with a replacement. Fortunately, he's brilliant.

There was a lot to say about Horror of Fang Rock as there is just so much to love about it. We also talk about how Terrence Dicks’s Target novelizations were so important to our reading and development. And so great having @melvinpena.bsky.social on this one!

Laura's Dad sounds like a magnificent person, we need more like him!

💜💜💜👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

If you'd like to watch us debating the merits of RTD's last five-part Doctor Who spin-off serial (rather than waiting for it to drop on the audio feed tomorrow morning), then here's our review of Torchwood: Children of Earth already:
