First thought on seeing this went to TV Go Home, imagining a programme called 'FLAGS, FLAGS, FLAGS' - your weekly look at flags.

This is terrific. New interviews with all the major players - and some surprising minor ones - plus fresh insights, beautiful design... Another first-class publication from Team DWM.

Had to pause for a moment as genuinely thought that was the back of the head of the Boy from Space.

NEW: Astronaut Reid Wiseman shares a video of ‘Earthset’ that was taken with his iPhone

“This is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye…” Wiseman said.

This has to be the greatest iPhone video of all time.

You suddenly bolt awake shivering. It is 13 October 1066, and you are William of Normandy. You call your retainers and once ordered, reluctantly they begin marching back to the shore and your waiting fleet. The cursed future you saw shall not come to pass.

FFS Radio 4 Today were *still* banging on endlessly about Mandelson this morning. I'm bored to tears with it. Yes, there was a major cock-up, which no-one has come out of well. Time to move on. There are more important things happening in the world.

Arguably the KLF's best single and the one that deserved to go to number 1, but didn't cos Bryan Adams. There's a couple of versions on the KLF mix I did www.mixcloud.com/johnrivers/t...

Used to love playing this out. An improvement on the original. A perfect mash-up with Gary Numan, by Richard X. Deserved to go to number 1 and still sounds amazing in the middle of a mix.

VIOLENCE is never the
answer,
my granddad used to
say. As such, when I appeared on The
Weakest Link a few years back, and
Anne Robinson asked "What
"V' is a
noun meaning 'physical force intend.
ed to hurt, damage or kill?'," I said
I didn't know, and subsequently got
voted off without winning a penny.
Thanks a fucking bunch, granddad.

Don’t spose there’s no new issues of Vworp Vworp or Nothing at the End of the Lane on the way is there? Or any other great fanzine recommendations?

GRANGE HILL: "Slip on the wet floor, did you?" Phil Redmond's hard-hitting school drama didn't pull its punches. In a 'they did things differently back then' scene from 1981, hard but fair P.E. teacher 'Bullet' Baxter doles out justice to a colleague who's been bullying kids.

I've just finished reading this and it's excellent - a very clear and at times surprising look at what makes 'The Daleks' and subsequently Doctor Who, work so well. Recommended.

Just can't summon any interest in this Starmer story. It's like the media's obsession with Wrexham FC all over again.

This is my poster for Doctor Who: The Gunfighters. It features the First Doctor holding a gun, coloured in blue and red, with little figures behind him, coloured in blue. The background is a light yellow.

On the top left, it says "All he wanted was a dentist. He got a shootout instead."

On First Doctor's body, it says "William Hartnell, in a episode directed by Rex Tucker", "The Gunfighters - a Doctor Who original", 16mm - Black & White" and "With Peter Purves & Jackie Lane".

On the bottom, it says all the other cast members in the episode.

My watermark is on the bottom left corner.

NEW ARTWORK!

It's been 60 years since Dr. Who visited Tombstone for a dental emergency and what he got instead was a gunfight. Yeee-haw!! 🤠🐎

My group of artist friends wanted to make posters for The Gunfighters for its anniversary, so I had to join and make one! #DoctorWho #WilliamHartnell
