I am bewildered that this labour of Sisyphus is being carried out by volunteers, while Southern Water, which has admitted responsibility for the catastrophe, is doing nothing to remediate it.

I've spent the last 3 years animating episode 1 of the Daleks' Master Plan for its 60th anniversary today! Yes, we had a slight technical hitch when I realised I'd uploaded the wrong version of the file, but we're good now!
And you might want to keep watching to the very end..

Drinking milkshakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in this song.

60 years ago today, at 5.50pm BBC 1 broadcast the first episode of the 12-episode epic Daleks' Master Plan. It was subsequently junked from the archive.
I've spent the last 3 years animating it. It's not exactly the same as it was. It's not meant to be. But I hope you enjoy it.
5.50 this evening!

Watched Pyramids tonight - and thoroughly enjoyed it. Often I've been quite down on it, as some kind of oddity, but I found it so singularly thrilling. It's amazing how much happens during it!
Definitely see why people rate it as a classic - it beats Planet of Evil certainly.

A must-read on the corrosive influence of Gibb, Grossman and Prescott - the three horsemen of the rapidly unfolding BBC apocalypse.
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

“Finding things on the internet to ‘hate read’ is a way of feeling great about yourself because you’re not as stupid and wrong as those other people.”
inspired by this, I have done a free extract of this section of the book here. it is about understanding that *with all its problems* the BBC is as important for our intellectual health as the NHS is for our physical health:

The media industry keeps talking about linear TV is dead. Well of course it will be if you keep accelerating its decline by pushing people to streaming. It's not completely dead if there are programmes people want to watch.
I love a shared cultural moment. I’m the opposite of whatever it is that makes people not want to watch something because it’s too popular. I’ve hated stuff and gone back to it because I so crave having a moment to share with the world around me. Not just friends, but… everyone. Live Tv is special.
