Oh. The Winter Olympics starts on Wednesday (on the BBC Red Button). Opening Cermony on Friday.

That's sneaked up.

I like the downhill jumping and falling down best. And the teatray.

It’s here! I can finally share the product of 9 months’ research: the story of Tristram Cary and the surprisingly long life of his 60s soundtracks, particularly The Daleks. It’s on YouTube now! Enjoy!

Just been drawing up a request list for a potential Caversham trip in the spring for the Tom Baker books.

Two regular actors (Louise Jameson and John Leeson) and a few writers contract files (Chris Boucher and Douglas Adams among them).

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
