Shares are much appreciated x

Saved this for my morning run. Another excellent episode from @missingepisodespod.bsky.social & the team. DW is the core of the discussion but there are off shoots to other lost media. Fascinating stories being shared! If DW & missing eps are your thing, this is an essential Patreon subscription!
We watched it for the first time last week. Had read lots of negative reviews online so went in with trepidation. We loved it! A reminder for us to not put too much weight on negative online reviews. Always best to see for yourself. Star Trek at its best and Holly Hunter owning it all. Fabulous.
Thanks to this post I have set up my first subscription to a comic since Marvel UK Thundercats in the 1980s. We do all need wholesome at this time. A friend who works in Glasgow city centre visited the comic shop on their lunch a managed to get me issue 1. Very much looking forward to reading it!
Although I am more familiar with The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror version…
We have just switched over.
Those look like interesting packs. I had thought about those stories that have been my go to comfort watch since the VHS/UK Gold time of the 90s as a start. There just isn’t enough time in the day to read everything I want to read!
Treating myself to The Silver Archive Sapphire and Steel Collections. Last year I ordered the Gurney Slade Silver Archive; an excellent companion the DVD and look forward to immersing in the world of S&S. I really should order some Black Archives but I can’t decide where to start on that collection!
Preordered this today. I have enjoyed many of @tenacrebooks.bsky.social publications over the past year. If you love archive British TV and meticulously researched texts then they are worth a visit!
I was 10 in 1989 and I remember thinking similarly about other performances in Battlefield. However, when I watched last week I found myself thinking differently. Nothing is flawless and I do wonder if where I am in life is making me overlook deficits, because they are there.
I rewatched Battlefield last week and thought many of the fantasy merging with sci-fi elements share similarities with popular genres now. Ahead of its time and doing things long before many other shows that stuck to safe ground rather than push in new directions. 7 is my Doctor and I love that!
Backing this as I remember the joy of collecting these figures in the early 90s.
I treated myself to the Blu-ray set last year and have just finished Season 2. I totally missed it in the 90s. I was Trek/DW/X-files at that time. I love how the story is unfolding and how ‘now’ it feels.
It was an experience I would recommend. I would love to do it for other authors too. It is an undertaking but worthwhile.
Enjoy! When the centenary editions of all her novels were released a few years ago I ended up reading them all in publication order. It became a lockdown/pandemic focus for me. I had never stuck with one author like that before. Like you, had read PoMJB before but took decades to hit the rest.
I had forgotten all about this and the rarity. I didn’t think I ever saw it in real life: it was UK Gold repeats for me.
Final reading stack for December 2025, although I have still to finish BoD3. I have been looking at lots of books I plan to read in 2026 including some John Le Carré, Alan Hollinghurst, Louise Welsh, Riley August, as well as more Seichō Matsumoto and more Elif Shafak. So many reading goals for 2026!
Watched this yesterday afternoon. It’s catnip for this Doctor Who fan. At one point I found myself excitedly calling out “there’s the spiral staircase in the background behind Jean Marsh!” As the narration simultaneously informed me. Adore this level of research and analysis and prediction.
I have been saving this until now. The final volume of The Book of Dust. 25+ years of these characters and their world(s). I can’t wait for this to fill my mind and my dreams.
Matsumoto’s writing style is methodically calm yet grippingly exciting. The details about Japanese cultural/societal norms are fascinating: control, repression, honour, reputation, and classism. Highly readable and enjoyable.
Currently reading A Quiet Place by Seichō Matsumoto. I immensely enjoyed Tokyo Express & Inspector Imanishi Investigates, both by the same author. I’m always keeping my eye out for future Penguin Modern Classics translations of other Matsumoto novels. Also, the cover art is evocative.
This was a perspective challenging read. I think it is my top read of the year. Skilfully crafted. A book where I became fully invested in the characters while learning much about things from the past and the present I was ignorant about. Researching what novel by Elif Shafak I can read next!
A copy of the book ‘There are rivers in the sky’ by Elif Shafak stands upright on a window sill showing both its spine and its front cover.
Currently reading ‘There are rivers in the sky’ by Elif Shafak. My mind is being blown and stimulated. A book that is infinite and intimate at the same time.
A beautiful example. This makes me think of my wonderful friend @sergeanttibbs.bsky.social . A long time advocate of the subtle beauty and enjoyment of picture-based advent calendars.
As I get older, I find myself appreciating stories of grief and coping all the more. The way we try to find new ways of being when someone we love is gone.
I found myself caring deeply about Ivan and Peter. Thinking about them in my daily life. Picturing them living their lives in Dublin. Powerful.
Only managed to read one book this month. Lots of pressure on my time and this was a book I wanted to take time to read. Ivan, Peter, Sylvia, Naomi, Margaret. All characters I have lived with and believed in. The writing on grief and loss and change resonated.
This was the Christmas ghost story that led me to search out more. I loved it! A strong, eerie start. The abbey scenes and everything that followed were delightfully unnerving. Hard to believe it is 20 years old!
The Safekeep is possibly my favourite read this year so far. I will read it again in the future. I will be purchasing my own copy to keep on my bookcase.
The Safekeep is the most beautiful prose I have read in a long time. The beauty of the sentences caught my breath. I found myself having a strong sense of empathy with the characters. It was enlightening and as with the other two books, I have learned things from it that stay with me beyond the book
Ootlin took the longest to read as I had to pause and think about what I had just read. It is hard to describe; an affecting read.
The Two Roberts is a very Scottish novel which I appreciated. I learned new things from it and was able to visual these characters and the world they lived in.
