For all these reasons and more, I’ve bought a couple more copies of my favourite book of the year to give as Christmas presents. And wouldn’t you know, there was ‘1983’ on the shelf of the East Gate bookshop in Totnes, so that came home with me today too. (That one’s for me …) 😁📚

Bloody hell! It’s been a long time since a book has brought me to tears. @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social Thank you so very much for writing Everything Will Swallow You. Book of the year. #BookSky #TheStorygraph

Squinting v hard that _could_ be the Aggedor projection from Monster of Peladon ..? Or at least his heat ray. And the purple has strong Peladonian throneroom-wear energy. Oh! And then there’s Eckersley’s mind-bending alarm system. Season 11, calling it!

A modern version of a classic horror story.
An unexpectedly disappointing rom-com.
A brutal city crime drama.
An unexpectedly mesmerising drama.
Mostly bang up to date!

The new one by Tom Cox - Everything Will Swallow You - I’m nearly halfway through, it’s immersive, pure pleasure.

On this day, 2 November 1981, The Five Faces of Doctor Who season began on BBC2 - 5 stories, every Dr to date (just about ..!), 4 adventures I never thought I’d ever be able to see - An Unearthly Child! The Krotons! Carnival of Monsters! The Three Doctors! & Logopolis from earlier in the year.

October’s completed books. A bunch of Doctor Who as usual - 3 more volumes of the Complete History and a book of essays - plus new and classic lit, spanning a century or two!

What joy to spend a couple of hours in the company of camp horror classic Dr Who and the Brain of Morbius! My favourite season 13 story. Glorious sets, superb cast, a Hammer movie stitched together with Who’s unique spirit! The seeds of the Timeless Child were planted here!

Today, I finished listening to every piece of vinyl I own. In the scheme of things, it’s not that remarkable - my collection is in low triple figures, and of course I’ll buy more - but there’s a sense of the end of side A. Looking forward to side B! 😁

Forgot to mention, the cover of the LP was designed by Clayton Hickman, who also did Doctor Who - The Daleks In Colour, which was released by Silva Screen on blue / magenta double vinyl in 2023. So of course I’m playing that now. Ooh it’s lovely!

Not having done a #NowPlaying for a while, here’s today’s, which is soundtracking my reading of this epic volume, as I happen to have arrived at October 1963. It just felt appropriate.
Urgh, the wet sound of a dying mutant … 🤢

Yesterday I went to the Flicka Foundation in Penryn and met many donkeys. General all-round happiness and contentment occurred. A very good day.

I voted for Ncuti Gatwa as my Favourite Scot at this year’s BAFTA Scotland awards!

To be fair, any of the nominees could win, they’re all great, but who am I kidding? If Doctor Who is nominated, they get my vote!
