My book about the #DoctorWho story The Daleks (Serial B, whatever you like to call it) came out this week in Obverse Books’ Black Archive range. Here’s a short thread explaining what it covers, in the hope that it might interest a few of you. Link to buy the book and discount code at the end. (1/9)
Mikhail Belomlinsky- Bilbo in Smaug's lair (The Hobbit) 1976
Sudden thought; was this naming mistake the first ever AI Hallucination?
Same energy.
Ah! Right. Got you.
1 hr 26? That’s longer than this one. Argh.
The version I watched before was notable for having pretty much no mention of Adams Who career (which seems a bizarre omission to me, given it’s not irreverent to his most famous work)
Turned out to be 1hr 6 sans adverts.
So possibly 5-10 mins longer than the previous version — or possibly exactly the same (I no longer remember where I saw it - did it have a BBC Four showing? Aren’t we overdue an Adams Night?

For anyone with outstanding Audible credits (cough, hint)
🚨NEW EPISODE! 🚨
A conversation with friend of Gerry Davis, Anthony Clark, including a never before published interview with Gerry Davis himself!
The archive interview has him sharing his memories of The Highlanders and The Moonbase. What a treat!
Shares are much appreciated x

a two panel meme panel 1 - geordi signalling 'no' with the text data centres and images of data centres Panel 2 - geordi signalling 'yes' with the text "data centaurs" and a crudely edited image of the character data from star trek pasted on top of a centaur
do you ever wake up at 3am and think "shit that's a good idea, I better write that down so I can share it later on"
I think it would be deeply weird if they also had your excellent taste in film posters… Gasp! Maybe they’re your Mrs Danvers? Message them and demand a complete survey of all their furnishings at once

A wee reminder that the subs window for disabled people and people of colour is still open!
I’ll never forget watching The Wicker Man with my outer Hebridean mum. “I just don’t know where there got all that wicker from”
Oh to be a heron with my chest feathers blowing in the breeze…
I'm really just subtweeting (subskeeting) a wacking great misassumption that everyone who buys a RSD vinyl is a guileless dope that never buys music any other day. It irritated me, a little.
My local favourite (which sells secondhand and new) does, uses a church hall across the road, and makes a day of it with bands playing and so on. But I absolutely understand it's a big investment of time and money for businesses.
I accept I'm unusually lucky living with several shops in walking distance (and I've never got up early and queued, so maybe I'm also lucky my wants aren't that popular...) but I usually have had no problem picking up anything I'm missing online at Monorail or similar by the end of the weekend
My focus was more on 'many, many times' but I take your point, dear (int he bold?)
Listening to "I'm with her - sing me alive" (a live album, appropriately enough). Gorgeous cover of Paul Simon's Obvious Child!
Pleasing hint in the new issue of Record Collector’s Tori Amos interview that Choirgirl Hotel on vinyl is in progress, albeit slowly
Six black and white squares in a light brick structure, each with a hole which forms a fog horn in the middle, immediately behind and around is shingle, to the right a battered looking chain link fence, behind all of that is a black former lighthouse.

A Cat With a Wooden Leg Pat McGrath possesses a very remarkable feline. His cat was born with only three legs, and as soon as the kitten became large enough to leave its mother, Pat constructed a wooden leg and successfully adjusted it to the little stump that grew out where poor pussy’s fourth leg ought to have been. Pussy now trots along on four legs with as much ease and comfort, apparently, as though the wooden limb had been placed there by Nature. But here is the really wonderful part of the story: Instead of killing rats and mice with her claws, as cats usually do, pussy has learned to use her club leg for this purpose, and it is said to be a very amusing sight to see her run up to a rat and knock him into insensibility with her wooden leg.
It is, allegedly, the 136th anniversary of a news story whose last line I don’t think you’ll be able to predict appearing in the Woodford (Kentucky) Sun
Had a wave of deja vu, cos her predecessor made exactly the same announcement a year ago. You know, announcing a load of data centres that still haven't been built (and which wouldn't have created any jobs or revenue if they had). We are being taken for a ride.
Liz Kendall urges UK public to embrace Wayne, their annoying cousin who keeps turning up unannounced and saying stupid shit and is very difficult to shrug off
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
