Anyway, I now know who the two people (so far?) who wanted one of these are, so that’s nice. But if you happen to know someone else who might like one, do feel free to share…

I know a lot of your attention is focussed elsewhere at the moment, but just to let you know that the third Gruntleigh the Ogron adventure created in the style of the early #DoctorWho #TargetBooks is now available from the Lulu bookstore 🙂

Join us as we explore the cinematic murder tail. From crime scene to silver screen, myself and Martin Holmes @MAW_H check out how film projected murder on its screens.

Happily for me, the “Mystery Reader” has finished reading GtO3 & didn’t hate it!
(🙂🙂🙂)
This means that, once the test prints arrive, I will be able to check them, make any necessary corrections, & then it will shortly be ready to be released into the cold, uncaring universe 👍

This is probably long overdue, but I'm that daft old feller who possibly spends far too much of his time producing this sort of obscure nonsense in the hope that other people might enjoy it... 🙂🙂🙂

After years of searching, I accidentally rediscovered this clipping in the "safe place" I had put it. Actor #PhilipJackson puts The Guardian in its place around April 1992. #Poirot #InspectorJapp

What a fucking tedious list. No Take Hart, no Only Fools and Horses, no Columbo, no Nuts in May, no Hancock, no Bilko, no Going Live, no Top of the Pops. In fact there's no proper tele on this list at all.

There is so much lost subtlety and beauty in found television that recons, telesnaps, and animation can’t hope to match despite all the effort put into them.
I could quite happily watch another 90-odd previously missing episodes, if only the universe could oblige 🙂

This was my incredible view of two friends enjoying a pair of long-lost Doctor Who missing episodes recovered by @filmisfabulous BBC News asked for Peter to sit alone, but the great man insisted @TobyHadoke share this special experience with him. Donate 🙏 filmisfabulous.org.uk/the-fi…

No radio show in the bank to edit today (although there are still some already done to cover the next couple of weeks), so I returned to the book instead after a few days off (and finally got the characters out of the room they’ve been trapped inside for over a week now 😀)

Definite progress this week on the long-awaited sequel to COMPLICATIONS OF CHAOS
Well, I say long-awaited but I can’t now remember whether anyone who bought it actually read it & said that they liked it. I’m almost certain someone did, however, so I’m working on another anyway 😂

Kudos points to my Beloved this evening for taking once glance at Terence Lodge in tonight’s PLANET OF THE SPIDERS on U&Eden and immediately saying “wasn’t he in that PROTECTORS thing set on the Greek cruise ship that we were watching yesterday?” (and it turns out that he was)😲
