Cursed the grown men on skateboards as they recklessly went down the ramps at the multi-storey car park as I drove out. Grown men on skateboards. I ask you. Gave them a stern stare as I drove out listening to my 'Dr Who and The Moonbase' soundtrack..

42 years on. Remember it vividly. Just behind 'Inferno' in my favourite ever story ( though there's not much in it). Jek, though. Just Jek. 'You have the mouth of a prattling jackanapes, Doctor. But your eyes, they tell a different story..'. Bob Holmes you brilliant, genius of an old bugger!

Had the same thought about Bungle in 'Rainbow'. Prances around in the nud in the majority of episodes but wears his stripey pyjamas when he's in bed. In bed with Zippy & George but I'm not going there..๐Ÿ˜‹

Getting nostalgic yearnings for Tucktonia. Went there in the summer of 76 (yes, that one ๐Ÿ˜‹). Just the most magical childhood memory. Went to Dorset last year searching the site out. Tuckton. Christchurch. Hugely emotive..

Parents were massive fans of 'Poldark'. When I was 8 in 1975, I had a t-shirt made on holiday in Cornwall that said 'I Hate George Warleggan' on it. Mum insisted on it.

Does anyone know how to cancel an Ebay bid? I've made an offer for a Mickey Mouse outfit and I'm five minutes away from owning Tottenham..

'Operation Epic Fury' sounds like a straight-to-video Steven Seagal movie.

Now for an excursion into the fleshpots of Oxford for a spate of heavy afternoon drinking with chums.

Kicking over the remnants of a still smouldering fire over at Shotover this morning. Not mine of course. Imagination went into overdrive. Felt like a bounty hunter in hot pursuit of a fugitive, scanning the horizon, looking for tracks, clues. A bounty hunter in wellies though.๐Ÿ˜

Cally's watching a real Timey-Wimey episode of Dr Who I've never seen. It's from 1998, with Gwyneth Paltrow and it's called 'Sliding Doors'. Hang on..

Facebook reminded me today of the day I bumped into Tony Robinson in Aylesbury who was filming 'Time Team' nearby. Asked for his autograph naturally. 'Blackadder fan I take it?' he said wearily. "More of a 'Sam on Boffs Island' fan actually" I replied. He then did the most wonderful 'double take' ๐Ÿ˜‹
