Henry Woolf carves a pumpkin on Words and Pictures, so I'm happy either way.

Anyone free on actual Halloween night? Come to Whitby, I'll guide you gently through memories of 1970s/80s Halloweens ("The sky is blue, the grass is green") and there'll be music, dressing up, sweets etc. I might even do the "Witches of Halloween" song from 'Words and Pictures'. A fiver. A FIVER!

The track list of Vic Mars’s beautiful The Land and the Garden LP on @claypipemusic.bsky.social reads like a poem that perfectly complements the music.

How did you spend your weekend? I hung out in Cud's dressing room dressed as Whitby Town FC's official mascot, Scampi Skipper.
It's me wearing a Cud band t-shirt and the head of a football mascot designed to look like scampi.

From the Film Is Fabulous Facebook page:
Facebook comment from Film is Fabulous to Justyn Adderley: "Thanks. As mentioned by Sue Malden at our RECOVERED event in May, we are aware of several missing episodes of Doctor Who (Sue stated one of two, but there are more than this) in private film collections in the U.K. We are liaising with the individuals about cataloguing and preserving their entire collection, including the missing Doctor Who episodes, and ensuring that copies are returned to the BBC. We expect to make a detailed announcement shortly."
