Oh this has potential! A new anthology series building on Play for Today. Terrific for new talent to cut their teeth. The BBC should be doing this sort of thing as well.

I remember watching this at the time vividly. Not aware it was the beginning of a long absence of Dr Who on TV…
“There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea's asleep and the rivers dream, people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice and somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on, Ace, we've got work to do.”

35 years ago today!

The Black Guardian Trilogy in studio! (Part 5)
The King's Demons, TC1, 18-20th December 1982 (designer Ken Ledsham) #DoctorWho #CGSets

Enlightenment was the next story planned, but strike action delayed it, meaning The King's Demons was next up. 1/6

Today’s madness:
Painting a pergola I built over the summer. It got dark so I carried on painting using an uplighter and a small spotlight. Turns out painting in the dark is particularly helpful on the second coat, as it shines in the light, so you can clearly see where you’ve painted. #lockmeup

Just got a new TV, and my goodness — watching the Jaws 4K Blu-ray on it reveals so much detail I'd never noticed before.
