Crikey, I’d forgotten how weird this @bigfinish.bsky.social script of mine is (it’s recording over two years after it was written!). Suffice it to say can’t wait for it to be announced.

Different @bigfinish.bsky.social audio recording today. Lovely guest cast - and you’re not going to expect who they are.

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

Got a @bigfinish.bsky.social audio recording today. Such a good cast making the script twice as funny as it felt on the page…

Pretty much every Culture Secretary we've had since the post was created has reinforced my impression that our frontline politicians simply do not know or care about culture.
Hi Lisa Nandy! I’m a BAFTA winner from a small town. Instead of asinine questions like this, why not tell us how we can continue to make a living in the eviscerated creative sector over which you notionally preside?

Well, up to date with Celebrity Traitors. I don’t think this is a spoiler but my suspicion is that the final episode is going to be a masterpiece of editing for tension - like a lot of the last regular series finale - because it feels a bit of a fait accompli currently.

Just seen a post saying Disney definitely weren’t on board with RTD2’s content. As if they would give all that money and never take a second glance or give a note and just put it all straight onto the screen. That’s just not how TV works guys.

Like his Graham Williams piece, Worlds Within - the Ian Marter documentary is a triumph by @chrischapman81.bsky.social . A beautiful, moving piece of work that gives amazing insight into one of my greatest Doctor Who heroes.

I’m really delighted that he seems to be one of the real surprise MVPs of this series. Like Celia Imrie and Joe Marler.
Bloody hell, Traitors is so much more tense when you actually know one of the competitors. I will be properly gutted if Mark doesn’t get to the end.

Last couple of days have been reading Dark Gallifrey 5 and 7 for different reasons. Very happy with how wide ranging and weird this series is.

I found myself stuck in central London yesterday. The level of emboldened hatred surrounding me was repellent and deeply upsetting.
On the tube people got off at King’s Cross, presumably for trains home. And I realised there’s only one type of person I wanted to go back where they came from.

Graham Linehan is an anti-trans obsessive, not a free speech martyr
What has happened to Linehan is a predictable outcome for someone who becomes radicalised, obsessive and chronically online.
