Yay, my book The Pandorica Opens is in the Spring sale! Covers Matt Smithβs first season in depth. Fill your boots Eleventh Doctor fans. I still get royalties so youβll make an old man very happy.
Please let me hold on to my delusions.
Good morning! Iβve just completed The Shadow of the Torturer by Gene Wolfe. This is my third reading of The Book of the New Sun over a forty year period. Itβs all starting to make sense now.
A thread of appreciation for the costuming, makeup, eyewear and accessories showcased in Gary Sherman's Poltergeist III (1988).
Two Blu-ray boxes. Strongroom and The Knights of the Teutonic Order.
Very excited to unwrap and watch these.

If all this nonce news is too much, good news! Another cosy ep of Eleanor and Alasdair Read That is out now. This time, The Wind in the Willows: are we going to have our first fight??
Another enjoyable episode. I saw the Milne play adaptation at school. The horse was played as a camp gay man, it was a scream. Poop poop!

Enjoyed Manchester last night. Apologies for not being able to look under my seat. Iβd have never got up again.
Wallace and Gromit are on the front cover of the Christmas Radio Times for the second year in a row. I do like them, but the lack of imagination from the RT symbolises in a very small, insignificant way where we are these days.
