Thoughts and prayers at this difficult time

Today’s Dr Who things are all like “The Solivagant Doctor and Jonty Adventures” and I have a little pang for the adventures of the Dominie and Alice.

“Third Vervoid, j’accuse!”

And that Dr Who was the hero of the show.

I should let it wind me up but it’s so symptomatic of a fundamentally unserious and unscientific approach to the past as “teams” when actually they were all pretty flawed and disgusting.

Ha ha yes! “He didn’t do it he saved them they’re still alive but if he did they deserved it!!!”

This betrays not only a tunnel vision anglocentric perspective on history, but ignores all the evidence that suggests the reformation wasn’t a thing that happened on the whim of Henry VIII, but longstanding trends in northern and western European thought. But “Richard was pretty he have nice hair”

My ongoing “gets my goat” issue remains the “Ricardians” and their bizarre fixation on the blessèd Richard III, a man in all likelihood involved in the murder of children. They now seem to think England would be a Catholic European utopia had he prevailed.

And The Stolen Earth bottom as a Dalek actually makes him regenerate.

I would have been 13 and watched it live. I didn’t think it was real (though can’t remember when/how quickly I twigged) even though I thought it was utterly great.

Strong recommend for #DrWho The Hallamshire Incident: best Whittaker audio and more evidence that Rochana Patel is one of Big Finish’s MVPs.

IIIIIIT’SSS CHRIIIIIIISTMASSSSSS!

Only about 4 people will care but I have wanted the very limited edition #Babylon5 Shadow Sentient figure for donkey’s years and finally managed to fine one at a not outrageous price.

There are a few 60s and 70s films where I’m always surprised that there’s more after the bits I remember, like they had natural switch off points for my kid in the 80s brain.

Once you’ve finished Legend of the Sea Devils.

Of all the TV landmark moments I saw live this has to be the one that lives closest to my heart youtu.be/fGcqkqB-pIE?...

Each screaming girl just hoped that a yeti wouldn’t shoot ‘er

If they had just done Jurassic Park 2 and ignored The Lost World I think it would probably be a better movie

It’s such a strange movie. Obviously JP was going to get a sequel film, but then Crichton did a not very good sequel book and I think some of the strangeness comes from trying to adapt a book that sequelises the book JP into a film that sequelises the (different) film JP
