I love TV, particularly archive TV. Also enjoy films. Other interests include volunteering, keeping healthy and athletics.
Asking the #Doctor Who hive mind. I very very rarely post on here, but I’ve now got this lovely thing 🤗 However, I can’t see the updated SFX in Zygons, only the original ones with both options. Anyone else getting the same? The Pyramids updated SFX are working, however.

Happy 10th Birthday today to TPTV 🥳
A great success, taking on the big boys of broadcasting succeeding, opening the TV and film archives, making so much easily accessible to all 🤗 Plus, all done with fun, humility and interaction with their viewers at their core 😊

The last they have of this excellent archive TV series. They tell me they need to get the audience numbers up to buy some more, so do give this series and channel a go if you don’t already. They are not too far away from showing episodes not officially released on DVD, so an added incentive 😊 🤗
I don't believe it! #RichardWilson guest stars in CROWN COURT (1974) tomorrow, Thursday 22nd May from 3pm. Premiere episodes #TPTVsubtitles

I really enjoyed the latest Season of this (Season 7). Mostly excellent, the only one below par for me was Hotel Reverie, which I found a bit dull and didn’t really get into it. Anyone else watched? - if so, what did you like and not like? #Netflix #BlackMirror @netflix.com

I highly recommend this one, particularly for Mike Pratt, who is great as usual. It also softens the blow as his stint in The Brothers repeats has just now come to an end. How sad that Mike died too young robbing us of further acting roles from him 😢

Last week, I went to London to see My Master Builder, a play inspired by Henrik Ibsen’s The Master Builder. With Ewan McGregor, Elizabeth Debicki, Mirren Mack and Kate Fleetwood. Signing at the Stage Door. I liked that security were checking tickets to deter autograph scalpers. Not seen that before.

I periodically update IMDB, but don’t always post about it. This is Carmen Gomez (Dr Who fans will know her as Anita in The Two Doctors) in the 1976 Z Cars episode “Ringers”. She was credited as Helen Gordon for some reason, so I got the credit corrected on IMDB.

Sadly, the episode no longer exists.
Bob Monkhouse on the set of 'The Golden Shot' back in 1968 for an edition that promoted the new series 'Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons'. All of the target artwork is based on the series - the one to the right of BM is the Mysteron city on Mars. The hostesses (to the left) are dressed as Angels.

The new series of Dr Who is soon, which is exciting 😀, but I’m particularly looking forward to Rose Ayling-Ellis appearing. I’ve followed her career with EastEnders and Strictly eg, and she has done so much to raise the needs of the deaf community, and is a truly lovely and inspirational woman 😎

How lovely and what an achievement, which didn’t seem possible at the time. The new series of Doctor Who is 20 years old today 🥳😀 It’s going to overtake the original series I reckon!

Matinee viewing. The Assault from 1971. Tons of well known British actors, but what really caught my attention was it’s set in Devil’s End! What a coincidence, what with the year as well! @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social

Archive viewing deja vu. I was watching the film The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins (1971) today, and the Pride segment is exactly the same story as the Comedy Playhouse Impasse from 1963, which I saw on BBC4 a few years ago. Both written by Galton & Simpson unsurprisingly!!!

I thought I’d ask archive TV friends for advice here - is this a known actress? She looks familiar to me. This is from the 1973 Crown Court case Hit and Miss. She was uncredited, and also not listed on IMDB. Cheers.

@drmatthewsweet.bsky.social I found your interview Matthew with John Levene/Woods on the S7 Who Blu-Ray fascinating and very moving. You do such a good job with these, engaging and showing empathy with the interviewees, and yet maintaining an important professional separation too.

The Wheeltappers & Shunters Social Club has taken me by surprise. Peter Gordeno (from Gerry Anderson’s UFO) and Stuart Damon (from The Champions) appearing!!! As for the series, I don’t watch every turn, but I do particularly like Colin Crompton as the Chairman.

Just arrived 😎 I’m going to watch all these stories over time with my mate Andy, who has never seen them before. What a treat he has in store, and I’m rather envious that he gets to experience them for the first time 😊
