Sketchbook drawing of David Bowie as the Thin White Duke, black vest and trousers, white shirt, standing against a dark background. he looks down and to the side. The cigarette smke spirals behind him into the shape of a balck hole.
Sketchbook Bowie character #7:
The Thin White Duke.
Tonight's film - the latest in my own Meryl Streep season - Silkwood. Hardly discussed these days, but fantastically gripping.
Is that the Mutants skylab wall pattern on his chest?
Top: Character Options selling a Yeti in pieces Bottom: Yeti arm as seen in Doctor Who: The Five Doctors (1983)
Fun fact: even if you’re only interested in purchasing Liz Shaw or the Wirrn from this range, you’d still be able (with the aid of a Troughton dolly) to recreate the Yeti scene from the 20th anniversary special
Was great fun talking all things DMP and Devil's Planet!!
Works for me thank you!
Coming soon…
Toasting our first pod cast and full of future plans, cheers everybody! 🍻

It's Jo Martin and she's Camping It Up!
✨Tonight, 8pm!✨
Join us on Zoom for some fiendish questions from me and @sihart.bsky.social all about Who in the 80s. Back in the day it was considered a low point, but has been re-appraised. Where do you stand, and how much do you know?
Took me a fat while to figure out what to pick and what fit but ultimately it went to the Zygon invasion/inversion
I don’t mind modern unit, I like Kate and Osgood, but I love the original unit so so much so
Fingers crossed!
I sense a bit of padding, but it's good padding
Verity Lambert with some alien Delegates reading the script. Yes I know it's from Mission to the Unknown rather than DMP
After having never seen or heard it before, I'm now halfway through The Daleks' Master Plan!

Fake wisteria always looks fake. It only flowers for a month guys!
Wow!
I bet there's an Inside No 9 episode (at least one) where the whole cast have been in Doctor Who.
Neil McCarthy was with BM in Clash of the Titans and The Mind of Evil, then Jon Pertwee, then Walter Randall. Probably can get even quicker!
Now most things never get beyond 6 episodes, it might actually be more likely.
And if you open it to Big Finish and spinoffs..!
Seven degrees is ridiculously high! Every year, almost every British TV series has someone from Doctor Who in it, and most decent budgeted British films. If any actor has worked on a few productions they'd have worked with someone.
More and more American films too, especially the ones shot here.
Now we know where the leftover Spectrox supply went.
