And we’re back.
And it’s feels doubly poignant in that Day of the Daleks represents the point where I began watching DW on a regular basis - & therefore the inception of a long term fondness for the show.
I can only imagine the effect Bellamy’s cover would have had on me had I seen it at the time! 🙂

You’re welcome. He looked a bit confused when signing it… 😆

My Rose has left me
I’m in a mood
She’s gone to Kenya
With the bloke from Allied Carpets
She wasn’t immunised
That’s a legal requirement
She’s increasingly slapdash
Since we bought that new hearth rug

Belated congratulations! 🏏💥

Thanks Dave. Really enjoyed watching this. I’ve always thought it was a good story. As decent as the animation is, I would LOVE to see Hartnell’s and Jaeger’s performances.

Woah! 😮

Politicians hide themselves away.
They only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor.
Time will tell on their power minds.
Making war just for fun,
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
Wait 'till their judgment day comes...
- Ozzy Osbourne, "War Pigs"

If any of my Who-friends could repost this, I would be most grateful and delighted. Thanks!

Slade are like the forgotten giants of my childhood. They were massive! It is a great album. They can act too. I love this film. My only criticism is that it’s too short. Enjoy the Blu-ray! Let me know what you think.

Just rewatched this gorgeously dank and gritty slice of the real Britpop. Fancy being at the very height of your success and releasing the feel-crap-movie-of-the-summer. Absolute Legends.

Wow 😆
