Former child, potential corpse/immortal. I could procrastinate during a plane crash. There's going to be a lot of old Dr Who and Blake's 7 and all that here. Occasional cats and alt-pop.

I got a Terrahawks jigsaw when I had chicken pox. It was before I even had a computer, so I had to watch Take the High Road.

Shada being listed as "never shown" gave so much false hope that they'd actually shot it all.

I've not done a proper listen thru but whenever I've caught one on BBC Sounds it's incredible how well they've captured the feel of the originals. I saw McNally at a DW convention where he said he dreams about them losing more eps just so he could do them too, because he loved it so much.

Is that their equivalent of the Manc Britannia? Scandinavian slumming it, with only 5 varieties of cheese at breakfast.

That is so fetch!

There's a readymade adjective for the way it feels when somebody stops trying to make everybody use a title we won't use.

Now that's a proper death scene. One unfinished sentence and we're off.

Ah I've revealed one of my deepest secrets by accident - I've never seen Red Dwarf! But steps are afoot to rectify that.

I don't think I've encountered Talky Toaster but it sounds more useful already

Eight tears ago I drafted a piss take of a schmaltzy pre regeneration speech in the style of Mrs Overall choking on a macaroon, and now AI is telling me that's a cool way to deal with mortality. LOLs.

Oh god, Inkpad, a simple plain text notes app I've been using for years, mainly for shopping lists & jotting notes for podcasts, but I also used it drafting my parents' eulogies... now has an AI that thinks all those rather different things are What My Life Is, and will vomit out advice accordingly

The first episode of Too Hot For TV is out today. Me and @michaelmills.bsky.social discuss the audio adaptation of William Gibson's unmade alien 3 script and the comic crossover Aliens / Vampirella by Corinna Bechko.

Me too! Bought the final instalment at the same time as my first Target (Carnival. Travels to mysterious worlds via an ordinary looking everyday thing, with the danger you might not be able to get back...

Absolutely! It's not all that long since I last saw it but I'll be saving it for a rainy day rewatch, brilliant series.
