Sir Derek Jacobi & David Tennant
As convention moments... I don't think I can ever personally top this? Every time I look at this photo I'm BEAMING from ear to ear. THIS HAPPENED?!

Everybody STOP what ya doing - It's Pringle & Mooney day! 🎧

From the spooky Grey Mare, freaky poppets, Errie radio signals & weird dogs it's the final TORCHWOOD main range outing from this stand out duo. Thanks to them both for such amazing stories, can't wait to hear this one.

Crossed paths with the lovely Joe Kreamer at LCC, composer behind Mission Impossible, @bigfinish.bsky.social 'The Robots' which I shall sing his praises for FOREVER and the recent 13th doctor adventures. Really lovely guy!

It's our' TOMM-EH!

Such a treat to meet Tim Bentinck at Winter Comic Con. We spoke all things radio acting, @bigfinish.bsky.social TORCHWOOD One and AI. I've loved hearing Tommy Pierce grow over the years, he makes that era of TORCHWOOD so special.

Currently travelling home from my stay in London. An Incredibly memorable weekend, happy memories made.

Massive thank you to everyone who I met or who came to say hello on the day - it makes the event even more special.

Watched 'The Jetty' recently, it has been on my catch up list for a while.

Very good drama, Jenna was great as Ember. All 4 episodes flew by. I hope that we get to see more in the future.

I completely forgotten about this scene at the end of 'Last Tango in Halifax' series 2 and since watching it - Its been living in my head rent free😭❀️

Only have a few episodes to go on my binge watch now.

The Chimes novel doesn't mention the all important Bentley instead it's a Daimler.

So whilst the Doctor & Frederick are debating Chrysler or Daimler I'm sat here like "NO ITS A BENTLEY GET IT RIGHT!" πŸ˜‚

It's adding an extra layer to this already ridiculous scenario.

The Last Tango in Halifax "previously" edits are so effective & satisfying to watch?

Perfectly selected scenes, mixing together not only the episode prior but beyond too. Despite multiple series it feels like one big seamless story. I've never seen a show do this so well!

Halloween is fast approaching! What are your favourite @bigfinish.bsky.social stories to listen too around the spooky season? πŸŽƒ

I'm going to try fit some in across the next week - Would be great to compile a list of some spooky favourites.

It goes without saying, any Doctor Who missing episode being returned to the archive will be amazing.

It's probably unlikely but my hope is always on the Hartnell historicals. The Massacre especially, being able to see Bill Abbot of Amboise would be such a treat.

Apparently there were doctor only variants for the 2006 books, no idea why although I'm intrigued to find out more πŸ‘€

Went to a National Trust property today for a nice autumn morning out... Can't bloody escape this damn show can I. πŸ˜‚

I appear to be getting an interest in collecting the 2000's 9th & 10th doctor books AND this TORCHWOOD has been on my list for a long time to check out.

Working my way through 'Last Tango in Halifax' from start to finish because... well Derek Jacobi obviously.

Really loving this world and its characters, the way life unfolds around them.

Listening to Blair Mowat's soundtrack for 'The Guest'. WOW.

We are so lucky to have him associated with the DW universe and the music for @bigfinish.bsky.social TORCHWOOD.

I'm convinced he is going to be one of those names in the future where we will like: "YEAH! He did music for DW!"

Delightful evening celebrating the publication of @anncleeves.bsky.social 'The Killing Stones' with The Bound & Stewart Bain. These events & books have meant a lot to me the last few years.

- Time to finally meet Jimmy Perez, I've been putting him off long enough πŸ‘€

I went charity shop browsing and found the most perfect doctor who book* to pick up this time of year... Any guesses? πŸ‘€

*It's not Lungbarrow but I really wish it was.

Celebrating the publication of 'The Killing Stones' by @anncleeves.bsky.social later this week with Forum Books in North Shields, very exciting.

Think a few tickets are still left so don't miss out! (Can't believe it's nearly October I thought there was still a few weeks to go!)

So chuffed with how my latest Colin Baker autograph looks now framed! 😍

I've wanted to get this photo signed for a long time. Colin's first in costume photo shoot in January 1984 just before filming on 'The Twin Dilemma' commenced - he's looking splendid!

A rainy Saturday attending Middlesbrough Comic Con. A lovely catch up with @oldsixie.bsky.social, got one of my favourite Sixie photos autographed!

A delight as always.
