I think Ash are my feel-good band at the moment. I've been re-exploring their back catalogue and their songs just make me smile and want to dance. They are loud, melodic and make me feel good! 🤩

Half Marathon Training: Run 44 - Pushed myself to do a 10k. By the end of the month I want to do an 11K. We’ll see. I managed to go further along the sea wall than usual because the fence was down. And spotted this fantastic Danger Mouse graffiti! My foot is hurting now but I’m feeling good!

One of my favourite things to do when I’m watching Midsomer Murders is to play “Spot the Doctor Who actor”. I swear there’s someone in every single episode. 😁

Really enjoying this episode! Rod and Jeff truly are opposites.

Has Jeff considered changing his name to Dor? Or maybe Rod could be Ffej?

Filling a gap so trying out this podcast as it’s a quick one episode bite of a story.👍🏿
The Mind Robber becomes The Mind Bender for episode one with its disorientating turns.
Lovely hearing this appreciation of the tale and how he first got to it.👏🏿

How brilliant! I’ve really been looking forward to this. The season I became a fully fledged fan and my favourite season of the series. Plus, my three favourite podcasters @frakturedboy.bsky.social @jeffgoddard.bsky.social and @whorod.bsky.social. What’s not to love!

Trying to stay away from the news because it angers me so much that I'll say something...

I remember the days when we walked through the woods
We'd sit on a bench for a while
I treasure the way we used to laugh and play And look in each other's eyes
You can keep me at a distance if you don't trust my resistance
But I swear I won't touch you

I’m really looking forward to this one. I love looking at alternative possibilities.

Some fannish birthday gifts.

73 Yards - the best 15th Doctor story
Splinter of the Mind’s Eye - the original sequel to Star Wars
Strange New Worlds Season 3 - the second best Trek series
Doctor Who Season 15 - one I’ve been meaning to get for a while

It was due to be my first too, but Sara is visiting in a week and we’re heading to Norwich, Cambridge and London and my funds just couldn’t stretch to a hotel and merchandise this weekend. 😅 Would have been great to have met up! 🙂

I had a ticket to be at Valiant today, but sadly I wasn’t able to make it. Maybe next year. 🤞 For all those who are going - enjoy! 🙂

And we are back! First off, the very first Doctor Who story i have coherent memories of (i wasnt even 4 when this aired!)
Join Jim, Rod and myself as we venture to Argolis and indulge in the Leisure Hive!

Really looking forward to hearing what you make of this one as it's such an important story to me.

This was such a joy to record… memories of 1980…

The season 18 commentaries begin here as we explore the era that Jeff became a fan. We're joined by the lovely Rod Brown as we take a trip to Argolis and look at the first two episodes of The Leisure Hive!

2.18 - Up the Long Ladder - This story doesn’t know what it wants to be. We’ve got the Worf/Pulaski stuff at the beginning which goes nowhere. You’ve got the casual racism towards the Irish. And then halfway through we turn into some guff about clones. Oh and Riker shags a woman. 2.5/5

2.17 - Samaritan Snare - A dull episode. The Picard and Wesley stuff is good. The Pakled stuff is just bloody stupid and dull. And then, “Ooooh no. Picard is close to death.” Hang on. He’s fixed. We’re ok. The moral of the story is “don’t be a dick.” What a mess. 2/5

I’m thinking that it was potentially picked up in Picard? But I’ve only watched Picard once so I’m gonna look forward to getting back into that.

For anyone who’s been intensely following the riveting events of pothole watch…it’s been fixed. 😂 And for anyone who drives outside my house - you can thank me for your cars remaining intact! 🙇‍♂️🤣
