Toby Hadoke

Thanks mate! That’s SO kind. Glad you’re enjoying it!

YouTube video by Caroline Klidonas I made a SPACE MOVIE 🚀 without leaving my apartment

I very much enjoyed this after @stephengallagher.co.uk brought it to my attention.

"Quatermass is about residual humanity winning out... Everyone can identify with it" Nigel Kneale's seminal creation is about so much more than science fiction, as Toby Hadoke reveals in his new book about the thrilling origins of a television and film classic.

I didn’t mention him, no, as I was unaware. Good info though! Thanks :)

XS Malarkey: Sam Lake Don’t you just love a laugh? Well, get into this new stand-up hour from “a rare gem of a comic” (Rolling Stone), Sam Lake. Feeling like life and his career has become repetitive, Sam is asking himsel...

"You're JOKING?! Not Another One" I am NOT joking, but @samlakecomedy.bsky.social is. And he's bringing us his tour show tonight! Not only that, but Rob Rouse doing new stuff, Maia Tassalini making a debut, & @tobyhadoke.bsky.social keeping it all together. Delicious. wegottickets.com/event/685193

I haven’t! But I’m game :)

Fair ;)

He brought down the house with it. It was exactly what we needed that night.

Go and listen to his Doctor Who podcast if you're into that, the Indefinable Magic episodes are just a joy

That Ian McKellan clip, I saw that same monologue (I think) done almost exactly a year ago by @tobyhadoke.bsky.social at the apex of the XS Malarkey comedy night he was hosting on a day when everyone was very worried about Ice, who had crossed some horrifying threshold I can't now recall.

Ooh nice. Enjoy!!

Very true!

Amazing!

Ah cool. I don’t really understand Alt Text (or indeed much that has happened since 2007).

The wonderful Sue Vale - Sue Chlopicki IRL - died last week, way way too young. Funds for her funeral are a bit short, so a GoFundMe has been set up. Posting here FAO fellow Mancs but also anybody else who saw her, knew her, was touched by her.

I did a radio show with Sue back in about 1991 on a shortlived student radio station in Manchester, so it's sad to see this.
There's a GFM set up for her funeral expenses here:

I’m late here and won’t disagree with those suggestions already made: you also have David Banks next to Colin Baker (top left).

I do it all the time. I remember my heart skipping every time Bobby Davro’s Sketchbook appeared in the listings.

I worked with John on the 90s and by a massive coincidence his granddaughter is fellow Kneale obsessive @bronteschiltz.bsky.social :) He was great friends with Christopher Benjamin and Gary Watson from Evil of the Daleks. Lovely man and a splendid actor with a gift for voice work.
