It’s still one of the most memorable and rewarding 80s stories for me.

Ralph Wilton was the life and soul. He will be missed. Here he is in 2016, savouring a moment, at the DWM 500th party with his dear pal June Hudson and Richard Marson.

There, that's another last extra bit added to the Troughton diary text. All done and delivered.

Why do I still keep digging up even more info that can go in?

Now back to Pertwee. Such endless fun.

Directed by Julia Smith, who was very proud of it.

My god, time... I was allowed a window on a mad day at RT to fly on my Vespa across west London to the advance screening at the Electric Cinema. Fabulous big-screen experience. I remember Toby Haynes introducing it and meeting Tom Sp in the bar after.

Uninvested here too. I just wish it was as hilarious or as titillating as the hype suggests and the cast are convinced it is.
