Interesting news from Film is Fabulous!

And donations are now open as they have successfully obtained charitable trust status.
ACQUIRING COLLECTIONS

We believe there are several missing episodes of Doctor Who and other important TV shows in collections in the UK. Charitable trust status and the ability to accept donations will enable Film is Fabulous! to access entire collections for cataloguing (1/2)

Join us tomorrow afternoon upstairs in the Ship, a little earlier than normal, as we have to be out by 4pm. We'll be apprentices to a magician, and familiars of a witch as we take in the series 9 two-part opener, and watch some boi online, this month's fan creator, tinker with a new paradigm Dalek.

Friend of the group, artist and Dalek63-88 guru Gav Rymill @themindrobber.bsky.social runs a new escape room on the Wirral, which a few of us tried out last week. It's great fun, and although tricky, we managed to get out in record time! Do pop along if you can. @westkirbyescape.bsky.social

Forthcoming Doctor Who spin-off, The War Between the Land and the Sea, is to be scored by Mission: Impossible and His Dark Materials composer Lorne Balfe. Good to see an established musician join the brand.

Williamson’s Tunnels and the heritage centre were obviously a massive part/influence for our Flux series of Doctor Who. Would be amazing if the Who community shared this appeal widely and/or were able to help before this looming deadline. See below and please RT!
If you've ever marvelled at the vaulted Victorian subterranea of Liverpool's Williamson tunnels you have The Heritage Centre to thank. Unfortunately, it will be closing for good on June 1st if they can't raise £12k.

Here's how you can help

It is with huge regret and great sadness that the Joseph Williamson Society has to report that,… David Bridson needs your support for Save the Heritage Centre

Our Adrian has made it onto today's #DoctorWhoMagazine letter page (he's becoming a regular!).

Well done, Adrian! Thanks for plugging the group, and hope Doris the BBC Radio Merseyside Dalek didn't exterminate you too much.

Possibly the most important skeet of the day. All the way from Grimbald...

At our Back to the Ship! meeting yesterday, we enjoyed @joshsnares.bsky.social's animation of The Genocide Machine with introduction video kindly provided by Josh for which many thanks!

We also watched many songs sung by the stars of Doctor Who, including this one!

One song that didn't make the cut for this Saturday's Who-rovision Song Contest at our Back to the Ship! meeting is this cover of You Really Got Me, made of BT landline text messages when Tom Baker was the guest voice. Proceeds from the single went to Shelter.

Our next Back the Ship! meeting is on Saturday 17 May, the afternoon of the Eurovision Song Contest final, so how about some songs?

Do you have a favourite song sung by a star of Doctor Who? Any songs about Doctor Who (or adjacent) you like?

List them below, and we'll play the best at the meeting.
