Tonight the curtain came down, there will be no more. Itโ€™s done.When the tv show finished I was emotional, but also knew that Stage Fright ws still to come. Now, thereโ€™s no more.Yes #StevePemberton and #ReeceShearsmith will work on other projects, and yes Iโ€™ll love whatever they do, but it wonโ€™t be Inside No 9.I loved Psychoville and The League, but IN9 has been my thing more than those other shows. I ADORE it. That anthology format is my bag, taking me back to the days of staying up later than I Should in order to watch Tales of the Unexpected on a Sunday night. Iโ€™ve connected with it more than I have any other show.So goodbye to my most special of special interests. Iโ€™ll miss you old chum. And rememberโ€ฆโ€œIf youโ€™re going to cry, cry tears of laughterโ€ฆโ€

The brilliant #TomBaker and #ElisabethSladen take centre stage, ably assisted by #IanMarter, #NicholasCourtney and a guest cast to die for. I was privileged to see the updated Zygons at the BFI a few weeks ago, the updated effects are clever and unobtrusive.Each of these stories has a personal connection for me, whether itโ€™s through buying on VHS in the late 80s with my Christmas money, or lending the novelisations from Canning Town library years before I was able to watch on screen, I canโ€™t wait to devour these all over again.

johnboy_cook on Instagram: "Three and a half years ago today. The day I decided to end it all.I still donโ€™t know what stopped me in that moment, and Iโ€™ve comeโ€ฆ" Three and a half years ago today. The day I decided to end it all.I still donโ€™t know what stopped me in that moment, and Iโ€™ve come to the realisation that I probably never will. That used to bother me a lot - if I didnโ€™t know what stopped me how could I have confidence that it would again? But Iโ€™m less bothered by that now. The last 6 months have been hell on Earth. Losing dad and then Sparky in such quick succession completely turned my life upside down then kicked it around for a bit. On top of that being housebound for 2 months wasโ€ฆ an experience. It feels like Iโ€™ve been in constant physical and emotional pain for nearly 6 months. And yet my headโ€™s rarely gone back to that dark place of April 12th 2022 (it did once, fleetingly, I immediately snapped myself out of it). Essentially in spite of having A LOT of pain medication readily available to me in this house; Iโ€™m still here, so Iโ€™m not worried.Iโ€™ve been very mindful of my mental health over the last few months. Iโ€™ve been keeping an eye on things and very much pushing myself to keep going, while stopping to@relax when required. Iโ€™ve also started to change things around the house to make it more like my home and less like somewhere full of shadows of the past. Thatโ€™s going to help me a great deal.I guess if this year has shown me anything; itโ€™s that I whatever life throws at me Iโ€™m a survivor.IAMASURVIVOR#MentalHealth #Depression #SuicideAwareness

This feels like itโ€™s been a long time coming.I used to game by laying on the floor in front of the tv, but after my hospital trip it was pretty clear that wasnโ€™t going to work. I tried, was in a lot of pain, so wisely decided that wasnโ€™t the way forward (hell, laying on the floor to game and watch tv probably contributed to my hip issues. It certainly wonโ€™t have helped). As times gone on Iโ€™ve missed gaming more and more. Itโ€™s a huge part of me and also something that connected me to Dad - he was the OG (original gamer), brought our first Atari 16k computer home in 1982, would sit for hours bemoaning those โ€œbastard ghostsโ€ on Pac-Man, passed the gaming bug onto me in a big way.It felt like not being able to game was very much what kids these days call a โ€œFirst World Problemโ€, and Iโ€™ve felt guilty for this affecting me, but then a dear friend pointed out to me earlier that Mental Health is never a first world problem; and this is something that will help me a great deal. In the last 3 months Iโ€™ve been so in need of stimulation and something to occupy my time that Iโ€™ve watched 300 episodes of Prisoner Cell Block H (third time in my life Iโ€™ve watched the series all the way through) but Iโ€™m now caught up with the 5Select repeats, so getting this set up now is well timed.Time for some football, MarioKart, Assassins Creed, Indiana Jones; Agatha Christie (have all 5 Poirot games) and as seen here, Fortnite (yes, I have a Daft Punk skin). Also determined to get back to Balatro, try Ghost of Yotei, and immerse properly into Donkey Kong Bananza, Massive thanks to @loopysmummy and Dan for helping me get set up and putting up with my moods: youโ€™ve genuinely helped make life a lot easier:
