The cover for the Big Finish Doctor Who audio The Last Queen of the Nile, which also features a story about the Silence and... what was I writing again?
#AHappyThingADay This is one of my favourite @bigfinish.bsky.social #DoctorWho Fourth Doctor releases in a while, with a really powerful historical story by @davidkbarnes.com and... Huh, funny, I thought there was also a very clever story by @jonnymorris.bsky.social, can't recall one now.
A flyer for the play That Bastard Puccini!
#AHappyThingADay I can highly recommend catching the play That Bastard Puccini at the Park Theatre in Finsbury Park whilst you can, a funny, touching piece of work.
The cover of Doctor Who: Dead or Alive, starring Jo Martin as The Doctor, and Alice Krige as Cosmogon.
#AHappyThingADay More #DoctorWho adventures for Jo Martin from @bigfinish.bsky.social. If I had a nickel for every audio featuring a female Doctor and vampires written by @verbatimfoley.bsky.social this month...
A cinema standee showing Superman holding up his logo.
#AHappyThingADay Been to see #Superman at the @regentstcinema.bsky.social. Oh yeah, it's really that good, just what I needed to start my holiday time! Full thoughts... boxd.it/anThDB
The Kerblam Man figure from Doctor Who standing beside a new blu ray release of both Danish Nightwatch movies, and a little postcard showing the famous poster for John Woo's Hard Boiled, showing Chow Yun-fat with a pump action shotgun in one hand, a baby in the other.
#AHappyThingADay Today the #KerblamMan delivered a new release from @arrowvideo.bsky.social, a pair of Danish thrillers I have been meaning to see for a while... which also contained a hint of something else coming I am VERY keen to pick up.
If you want it, #Kerblam it!
Mark Kermode talking to Stephen Fry in NFT1.
#AHappyThingADay Another great night at the BFI seeing Mark Kermode, including a fantastic talk with Stephen Fry!
A lobby card for 1981's "...All the Marbles" aka "The California Dolls', showing Peter Falk ringside as sleazy wrestling manager Harry.
#AHappyThingADay Superman opened this weekend, yet me being me, I went to see a women's wrestling movie starring Peter Falk. Not as one of the wrestlers, obviously.
Director of The Last Sacrifice Rupert Russell introducing the film upstairs at the Prince Charles Cinema.
#AHappyThingADay Closing night of #Dukefest where at the @princecharlescinema.com the Duke Mitchell Film Club showed us Rupert Russell's The Last Sacrifice, a documentary on how a real life murder inspired a lot of Folk Horror.
No MSTies there's no Zap Rowsdower in this, Last not Final Sacrifice!
The backs of the audience's heads as they watch a 1980s video dealers trailer in a pub function room.
#AHappyThingADay More from #Dukefest, in which the Duke Mitchell Film Club showed us some Alperton Lane noir, Sherlock Holmes: camcorder enthusiast, and a poultry ninja.
A bunch of right goofballs (which includes myself) about to watch some prime video weirdness in a pub function room.
Projected onto a silver screen, an instructional video on programming the ZX Spectrum.
#AHappyThingADay: A night at #Dukefest with the Duke Mitchell Film Club. Tonight my Pam Grier knowledge came in handy, we saw many attacks to the groin, dark secrets of baseball were revealed, and Michael Jordan talked to us about drugs.
Film director and Moviedrome host Alex Cox with my friend Sue to one side, myself on the other.
#AHappyThingADay Been to see Alex Cox's remarkable 1987 historical film Walker at the BFI as part of their #Moviedrome season, and got to meet the man, the legend himself!
#ahappythingaday Flap flap, it's Canary Time! Yesterday me and some friends went to see #jurassicworldrebirth, a film so silly and ludicrous, it's practically a pantomime. Seriously, it has several "IT'S BEHIND YOU!" moments!

DVDs of the six serials making up Classic Doctor Who's thirteenth season; Terror of the Zygons, Planet of Evil, Pyramids of Mars, The Android Invasion, The Brain of Morbius, and The Seeds of Doom.
#AHappyThingADay Next #DoctorWho collection set has been announced, time for an upgrade and to make space on the Who Ray shelf again. That season is a truly great run of stories... and The Android Invasion.
Oh, and yes indeed with the second from the top, #ItsMorbinTime!
The cover of Doctor Who: Vampire Weekend by Tim Foley, starring Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill showing the Thirteenth Doctor, Yaz, and a particularly beastial looking vampire.
#AHappyThingADay: Right, got some catching up to do. Firstly, Jodie and Mandip's @bigfinish.bsky.social debut by @verbatimfoley.bsky.social is a delight, a strong start to the series, and a neat hopping on point if you are new to the wild world of #DoctorWho audios.
A badge of Dugga Doo from the Doctor Who episode The Interstellar Song Contest in Pride colours.
#AHappyThingADay Just arrived, thanks @jamiebgall.co.uk!
#AHappyThingADay Flap flap, it's Canary Time! Went to see #M3gan2... well, at least the cinema was air conditioned and I had a nice latte.
Wait, is that someone dancing out there? What could th- OH SH

#AHappyThingADay (I'm doing a bunch of these as I forgot the last couple of days). Walked from work to the cinema... From Swiss Cottage to Victoria. I'm especially pleased I found a route almost entirely in the shade.

#AHappyThingADay Been to the @regentstcinema.bsky.social to see #28YearsLater, a film that delights in confounding expectations, not that it doesn't deliver on infected action too. boxd.it/a6XlHR
The Kerblam Man figure from Doctor Who standing next to a new 4K disc edition of the 1971 independent horror movie Let's Scare Jessica To Death.
#AHappyThingADay Today the #KerblamMan delivered a new 4K edition of an old favourite, remastered by those lovely folks at @vinsyn.bsky.social. Going to enjoy this, more than likely with @annodracula.bsky.social's commentary a little later in the year.
If you want it, #Kerblam it!
A Panasonic R.E.A.L 3DO console still with its box. Remember the 3DO kids?
A bunch of 3DO games, namely Sewer Shark, The Daedalus Encounter, Space Hulk, and Cannon Fodder.
#AHappyThingADay An amazing archeological discovery has been made. Still works too!
#AHappyThingADay Been to the BFI again for The Black Tavern, an incredibly fun piece of Shaw Brothers martial arts madness. Also, given today's weather, great to sit somewhere air conditioned watching a lot of snow on screen.
The very retro style poster of Possession Street, very much in the vein of an 80s title like Mr. Vampire.
#AHappyThingADay Saw a zombie film today, but probably not the one you're expecting. Caught at the BFI tonight Possession Street, a new Hong Kong horror which is a lot of fun, definitely one to have on your radar.
A box of Cadbury's Roses, by a flower on a pub table.
#AHappyThingADay: Got given these by a higher up at work for some help yesterday. Decided to share them with friends at the pub this evening, went down a treat... Mind, I did make sure as soon I got the box to put it in the salad tray of the fridge, knowing what this evening would be like.
The cover of Doctor Who: Pursuit, starring Paul McGann and the Eighth Doctor, Sonny McGann as Alex, and Emma Campbell-Jones as Cass.
#AHappyThingADay More McGanny goodness, including a story going for a real Sapphire & Steel vibe, something I'm surprised the Time War stories haven't done much before.
#AHappyThingADay Been to see at the @regentstcinema.bsky.social #Tornado, a lean Scottish set genre mash upm Great stuff, exactly the sort of interesting little indie project that deserves to find a cinema audience.
The front of the Prince Charles Cinema advertising Bleak Week from the 15th to the 21st of June.
#AHappyThingADay Somehow nothing helps you feel better about your life like seeing how bad things can get for someone else. Mind, the two films I saw tonight, The Last Laugh and The Shrouds, look positively cheerful compared to what's on at the @princecharlescinema.com later!

#AHappyThingADay A highlight of the pirate exhibition at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.
#AHappyThingADay Been tonight to the BFI #FilmOnFilm festival seeing the 1973 Elizabeth Taylor rarity Night Watch, a psychological horror thriller... produced by Fabergé! boxd.it/9ZBsS1
#AHappyThingADay Went to the @princecharlescinema.com to show a friend of mine perhaps one of the weirdest Kaiju films ever released, Godzilla Vs Hedorah. It got a fantastic reaction from the audience, us all being utterly baffled together, especially THAT moment towards the end.
The cover of the Big Finish audio box set of Doctor Who: The Lost Stories featuring two First Doctor tales, Farewell Great Macedon and The Fragile Yellow Arc of Fragrance, performed by William Russell and Carole Ann Ford.
#AHappyThingADay: Been catching up with some more @bigfinish.bsky.social , just listened to Farewell Great Macedon featuring @johndorney.bsky.social in a fine turn as Alexander the Great. I wanted to catch up with this one in particular now because... reasons.
