A few years after TOS aired on BBC, we had a new airport terminal open, and I encountered automatic sliding doors for the first time in my 8 year old life. I spent 15 minutes just walking in and out of them, feeling like Captain Kirk 😭

The earlier we show we don’t accept flagrant boundary crossing, the better the peace of mind.

There’s a very obvious response to that, but I’m going to be an adult for once 😁

It’s not the first time I’ve heard the words “Steve Conway” and “screw you” in the same sentence 😀

Oh I know. Anything about 1995 onwards is “happened recently” to me.

Who still had a Cortina in 1991? Me, that’s who 😀. Number plate unbroken, but could do with a clean . .

Thanks Helen for introducing me to another fascinating article. I’m not a scientist or medical person, so not your core audience, but I always find your content highly informative and well chosen for the curious lay person to read.

I had been trying to get a literary agent to take me on to help get my book published. After I had given up, one randomly friended me on MySpace, took me on, got me a publishing deal, and we became close friends and did lots of great stuff together until she sadly died too young. Yay for MySpace!

Masterly use of the passive voice there: “it hadn’t backed itself up”. Always take positive steps to ensure your tablet / phone is backed up regularly. If creating content on mobile device, email it to yourself every day - belt and braces !

The exact same thing happened with me and a woman in a fried chicken place in Coulsden 40 years ago (but with no sobbing). She was always giving me extra breast, but when asked out said no. Mildly awkward, but way better than not having the courage to ask.

I am proud of my manipulative actions in this case 😀

And if you get bounced back to the Pertwee/Delgado era Toni has to do all that laundry again 😁

I’d like to see an episode where the @watchyourrass.bsky.social team are trapped in a sci fi convention with Weeping Angels. Every time they get caught they are zapped back to somewhere way back in the classic series, and have to do all those episodes over again 😀

I don’t know about other broadcasters but on the stations I’ve worked on, news duty was usually defined by rota rather than group shower shenanigans.

Not a huge amount I would do differently - put in more effort in school perhaps - but there are one or two people I wish I had been nicer to along the way. Not that I was unkind, just that I could have been kinder. I try to apply the “what I wish I’d done in the 1970s” to what I should do now.
