Definitely haven't spent two hours of my day putting together a soundtrack album for the TV series Mongrels. Because that would be insanity. (And it definitely doesn't have two bonus tracks.)
Join us in store on SATURDAY 28TH MARCH for a signing with the lovely JOSEPH LIDSTER who will be signing copies of his new Doctor Who novelisation of ALIENS OF LONDON.
If you cannot make the signing in store, you can PRE-ORDER yourself a copy here: www.thewhoshop.com/books-magazi... #DoctorWho
Was really good! Great script, great performances and great direction. Creepy, funny and clever. What’s not to love?

Well, that didn’t take long…
Here's a previously unpublished entry for 1001 TV Series You Must Watch Before You Die for the series Wolfblood. I leapt at the chance as I thought the show, by @debbiemoon.bsky.social, was great.

Whenever someone says that "they slid into my DMs" there's only one image I see...
So, many years ago my friend Paul (may he rest in peace) asked me to contribute some pieces for a book he was asked to edit called 1001 TV Series You Must Watch Before You Die. I picked the series I wanted to do and submitted my... er... submissions.

"Through The Ruins of a Heights stalked a Wuthering of a Man"
Doctor Who and the Wuthering Heights by Terrance Dicks Target 1976
"Marlene and high-drama to a disco beat..." My review (which no-one asked for and I did anyway) of Belvedere Kane's "new" album 'Such Trying Times'.
Spoiler: I LOVE IT!

There is something odd about the British psyche that celebrates things in our history that weren't all that. See also Victorian England and the two world wars. And you seem to celebrate them even more if you weren't actually there.
I see the #ltmuseum are encouraging me to celebrate 70 years of the Routemaster bus. I have no inclination to do so. All I remember is them being rickety, uncomfortable and cramped. Thank God they've gone!
Voice of the Beehive: Honey Lingers (Deluxe)
Review of the reissue of Voice of the Beehive's second album 'Honey Lingers'. Was hoping to write it for We Are Cult but I found my old notes, and decided to...
Today my "Doctor Who references at work" streak continued. Involved in a case involving security prices from different data providers, I was asked why we use what is often called the Security Master value.
To which my response was: "Because it is the Master. And we will obey it."
Result.
one of the best things ever
Fucking hell! I’d better set about the day while my luck’s still in…

I myself know how helpful a good editor is! Vital in fact.
That would be an evil thing to do. I’d possibly go so far as to say wicked.
Some films did back in the day. They should bring those days back! (Or just learn the craftsmanship of economical writing and directing again.)
Christ, really? My rule is nothing over 2.5 hours. And even that's pushing it. I think twice about anything approaching two. (And yet I can binge watch TV shows all evening. Odd that.)
I remember the day I tracked down this CD. It arrived from the seller with a compliments slip that had scrawled on it the words "What a CAMP track!". They weren't wrong.
So there is - also on Apple Music thankfully (I don't Spotify).
Oh yes, that's the next one I want. Great album from what I have (annoyingly my favourite track is riddled with drop-outs).
Sorry? What's that you say? A Belvedere Kane album after all these years? YES PLEASE!

Oh interesting. Well I'll avoid you then. I'd hate to injure you next time we run into each other.
If it’s the next episode I am prepared for you to love it. Someone has to.
This two parter was, for me, the best Who had been in years at the time (and I like pretty much all Capaldi). The fact there were still some blinders to come is astounding in hindsight.
We had a good run
Claudia talking to a cloaked mannequin
Season 7 of #TheTraitors and it's revealed Claudia has been alone in the castle talking to herself all along.
Oddly, that's kind of where I was headed with a later reply. Maybe not cloaca as such, but portal yeah. That would *help*, Not fix, maybe, but help.
I mean, I'm not saying it would take bulletproof technobabble, but at least some kind of acceptance that there's a pocket universe in there somewhere would kind of help.
