Don't know about you lot but I'm beginning to doubt the legitimacy of the FIFA Peace Prize.

RIP Rob Grant.

RIP Rob Grant. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that, along with Doctor Who, Red Dwarf quite simply defined my teenage years and I was utterly obsessed with it. The six series he co-wrote with Doug Naylor remain pure gold. I hope he knew how much the show meant to us.

See you, Smeghead.

A hoodie will save it.

Black Dr Who branded t-shirt with “We’re going to cosplay this planet to death” on the back.

My face if someone bought me that.

£2.99 at Forbidden Planet. Inevitably.

"And if you miss it, it's readily available on YouTube"

Yeah, in glorious 240p shit-o-vision

BBC Two - Call My Bluff, 03/06/1977 With Tom Baker, Alan Coren, Gabrielle Drake and Miriam Stoppard.

For those who haven't noticed, tonight at 9pm BBC Four will repeat a 1977 edition of Call My Bluff featuring Tom Baker...

... and it's NOT the episode that appeared on the Season 14 Collection Blu-ray. Get your video recorders out, folks.

This presentation style feels rather familiar... imitation is a form of flattery, I guess!

Dr Who: The One With Paul McGann on standard Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray.

Lovely stuff. And, for me, where it all began.

YouTube video by Doctor Who TRAILER: Doctor Who The TV Movie in 4K! Coming Soon...

God is very quick these days.

You know what BBC Studios should do? Track down the original 35mm film elements of the Paul McGann TV Movie, sort out the rights situation once and for all and get it out fully restored on disc, preferably 4K UHD Blu-ray, in time for the film's 30th anniversary.

That would be nice, wouldn't it?

Pancake tossing live on Channel 5.

Pair of tossers

Not true: Friends ran on Channel 4/E4 until 2011, 7 years after they screened the final episodes.

Frasier meanwhile is essentially schedule filler now. Presumably when they originally negotiated the rights they included perpetual (or at least very long-term) repeats which must be relatively cheap.

Man reports news of man.

Kent Brockman in trouble

Same energy

About bloody time. The lack of Drafts on Bluesky up to now has been a huge negative. Next thing we really need is the ability to schedule posts, then we're really cooking.

The missus has got into Love Island USA - don't ask - and my main takeaway from the show so far is that the egg consumption is off the scale. Seriously, even Gaston from Beauty And The Beast would struggle to keep up with them. God help them sharing a big bedroom at night, the stench must be unreal.

MEGLOS: Flies trapped in amber! Not even Frasier Crane can escape a Channel Four loop.
GRUGGER: What?
MEGLOS: I've caught him inside a fold of time.
GRUGGER: Huh?
MEGLOS: His only respite is the short ad break at 9.37am when he loops back to the start. Round and round.... for all eternity!

Bless This House: 20 Songs of Joy from Harry Secombe, sat in a chair, hands clasped together, looking like Marlon Brando as Don Corleone in Saturday Night Fever.

We used to be a country etc

I know what you mean about the shouting-singing, but for me the overall improvement in his voice from 1976-80 is marked. He went from a singer to THE FRONTMAN and some of the vocals on Duke are his career best e.g. Heathaze. Re: the Lyceum '80 show, he'd not long had laryngitis, so there's that.

To be honest Mike, I have the lights switched off most of the time, the Corsair case just happened to be cheaper with ARGB fans included! Specs in the alt text here: bsky.app/profile/pipm...

Whoever made this TARDIS wallpaper, ta.

Spent the past couple of weeks bedding in my new PC, also made a wise decision to pick up a second monitor (used off eBay) for extra workspace. Video editing is an absolute breeze, no proxy files required, zero scrubbing lag, no random crashes. Might actually be in danger of making stuff again.

Pulp covering ABBA's The Day Before You Came on Radio 2 right now. This is like a fever dream. Fantastic.

Frustrating sadly describes a lot of the official decisions made with the Genesis archive over the years, sadly. Thank goodness for the tenacity of their fans in keeping their music alive!

Thankfully virtually the whole performance survived and is on YouTube. Like everything else these days.

Genesis - Lyceum Ballroom, London, May 1980.

Peak live Genesis on BBC Two right now - THIS should've been shown at 10pm, not that shite compilation of Phil Collins miming to most of his solo singles.

Still the greatest video ever made. Sorry. I don't make the rules...

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines on DVD. Well, DVD-R at any rate.

The DVD-R is region free, you'll be glad to know. And probably fucked by now.

So glad I can play this film on my PC headphones, PS2 and XBox.

Today's 100% legit and definitely in no way a bootleg charity shop highlight.

Big props to "JD Desings" for his "Cover and Artwork Desings".

I joined the Conservatives for the partying, says Kemi Badenoch The Tory leader opens up about her life and career - and chooses her favourite music - on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.

"My childhood was very BBC, everything on telly was BBC... the Nigerian television authority didn't make many programmes. I was watching Doctor Who, I think there's where my love of sci-fi came from"

Has anyone asked her if she's seen The Web Of Fear part 3 lately?
