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 😊

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

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.

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 😎

The Doctor has a reacting vibrator 😮 That took me by surprise 🤣😜

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

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.

Now available - my order is in 😎 Tentative publication date of Feb 2026. If the Hartnell one is anything to go by, it will be another excellent book from David.

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 😊

I’m looking forward to this early 70s ITV drama which I’ve never seen before. Very highly regarded. It starts at 8pm tonight on Talking Pictures TV Channel. @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social

I had a great time in London yesterday at a Susan Hampshire Event by @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social She signed my The Pallisers 1974 RT Special. A lot of fun, and great to meet Mike Read, Noel and Sarah Cronin at long last. Lots of time to chat with people. I can’t recommend these Events enough 😎

I’ve been rewatching Going Straight from 1978. Despite the brilliant Porridge casting a very long shadow, it’s better than I remembered and a good sitcom. Ronnie Barker is fabulous as usual. Dr Who related, in episode 3, I was surprised to discover from the end credits that this is Roberta Tovey!!!

£1 from my brother’s charity shop. Archive TV from 1974 which I’ve never heard of! Part of the ITV Play umbrella it seems. Looks interesting anyway!!!

Saw the latest Nosferatu film with my mate Andy today. I was pleasantly surprised that it’s a hard hitting, faithful type version. Very decently scary, with some terrific cinematography (nominated for a BAFTA now I see). Very welcome as far as I’m concerned.

I’ve finally caught up with these. Really good films about the emotions inside our heads. As I’ve so often found, Joy does most of the heavy lifting ☺️
