Doctor Who, not on his Todd. In the jungle. On Deva Loka.

Two days ago but happy Hallowing.
A tangle of autumnal light and shade in an English urban garden. Leaves all over the lawn, gentle sunbeams on the ground and slightly swaying trees on the right, with a hidden feline visitor watching in the foliage.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who or Transformers.
A very convincing robot blowing a fuse or two in a dramatic scene from the cinematic disco SF masterpiece that is The Shape of Things To Come (1979), large, bulky, with a shiny black domed and crested head, rounded pincered arms protruding from his panelled grey and black hexagonal body, Michelin man style short stumpy legs and flat black feet. The robot is as tall as the attractive and white-clad blonde lady slightly stooped with her eyes closed and her mouth open in a somewhat startled expression to the left of *him,* while a similarly white-clad bloke with a beard stands at a console to the right and looks on. Another similar robot is in the background, possibly deactivated and disregarded like junk in a scene of pathos anticipating Spielberg’s AI. A bank of computers can be seen in the background behind the bloke and a curved shield-like thing on an apparatus stand forms the Casablanca-blinds-behind-Bogart-and-Bacall-style backdrop to the lady, subtly indicating her emotional connection to the robot and her work come what may in this topsy-turvy hill of beans of a universe. Ridley Scott must have seen this as he finished the final edits on Alien and thought “The game’s up.”

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.
The cast of Friends pose in their Moonbase Alpha uniforms in a publicity shot on the steps of the ‘Central Perk’ set, with its banks of futuristic computers in the background. Left to right: Professor Victor Bergman (Barry Morse, dropped after season 1), Joey (Nick Tate), Rachel (Barbara Bain), Ross (Martin Landau), Chandler (Prentis Hancock), Monica (Zienna Merton) and Phoebe (Clifton Jones). The series was subsequently recast and redesigned when it was realised that the production team had in fact remade season 1 of Space:1999 by mistake. “It was crazy!” laughed Landau at the time, “The scripts were wild! But least I got to win an Oscar playing Bela Lugosi after they fired me!” Bain, his on-screen girlfriend and off-screen wife, smiled imperceptibly in a pale hue of light when asked about this, saying “Yes. I want a divorce.” Barry Morse was unavailable for comment.

When the new Master was revealed in the episode Maestro, everything went wild.

It was worth it for this moment.
The Skarasen 2025 and friends Mike Tucker, Justin Johnson and Dick Fiddy recreate Parky and the Emu in NFT1 at the BFI’s recent Doctor Who: Terror of the Zygons + Q&A event. The 1975 Skarasen looks on bewildered on the table. The screen backdrop shows the Fourth Doctor Who in his TV Scottish garb in the story, who was breaking free of his exile to Earth in the 20th Century and sent apologies that couldn’t get tickets.

From the BFI London Film Festival programme brochure. BFI PATRONS' GALA H IS FOR HAWK Claire Foy stars alongside Brendan Gleeson in Philippa Lowthorpe's beautifully realised and emotionally charged adaptation of Helen McDonald's award-winning memoir. When Cambridge academic Helen's father dies, the grief sends her spiralling into an abyss. In an effort to process her loss, she retreats from the human world to train a fearsome Northern goshawk. Foy gives an exceptional, career-best performance as Helen, while Charlotte Bruus Christensen's cinematography and Sarah Finlay's production design help Lowthorpe access the gravity and emotion of this story. KM Director Phillippa Lowthorpe. Screenwriters Emma Donoghue, Prippa Lowthorpe. With Claire Foy, Brendan Gleeson, Denise Gough, Lindsay Duncan, Sam Spruell. UK 2025. 128min. Courtesy of Lionsgate UK. Language English Claire Foy as Helen MacDonald with her goshawk Mabel perched on her jessed-up left hand, with autumnal light through trees in the background in H Is For Hawk (2025). The film, adapted from Helen’s bestselling book, received its UK premiere at the London Film Festival, dates below the picture.

I couldn’t get very clear shots from where I was, mainly sat towards the back (knees and respiratory not being what they were), but the sound was perfect and the stunning new songs, lushly textured on the record, ran wild and free in the stripped down acoustic setting. A very special night.

Define “perfect ending.”
“Talby! Talby! I think I’ve find a way!” Doolittle surfs out with the stars in the background on a suitably long shard of shrapnel left over from the exploded ship in Dark Star (1974).
