A hugely popular and internationally recognised symbol of Britishness, associated with time travel & outlandish speculative fictions. And the TARDIS.

Yes, given the infinite sideways extension of probability there was, of course, an almost infinite multiplicity of planets Earth, but, when you came down to it, a major pair of shoes wasn't something you could just replace by mucking about in multi-dimensional space/time.

Got excited when I recieved a google alert about a ‘new’ Hitchhiker game being announced. Turns out the article was from 2011 and the mobile app was never finished. But clips exist online, narrated by Simon Jones no less!

There's a story behind this #DirkGently #Pride #LGBTQIA+ #Comic 1-shot. I've never told the story. It involves censorship, love, J.K.Rowling and the BBC.

I wonder if it's time I told it? #LoveIsLove
