Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

It is indeed. I have all of her stuff.

Jonny Morris @jonnymorris.bsky.social · 10h

Yeah, the pop stuff like The Boat That I Row, I Am A Tiger, The Mighty Quinn, To Sir With Love, Without Him and the Bee Gees covers are fabulous, but the soul is MAGNIFICENT. youtu.be/545jm_fDzTc?...

My favourite thing in Doctor Who year 40 is... Gary Gillatt's DWM articles on The Fan Gene.

Gary Gillatt as The "Trendy" Fan. Any similarity to what Eddie Robson looked like at the time is purely coincidental.

Note: My original thought was faded Suede t-shirts but Suede are too cool, then St Etienne but they are too nerdy.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Doctor Who fans are Sparks fans. The chronology is the same; enormously popular in the mid and late 70s, becoming a cult in the 80s, and being in the wilderness during the 90s, before suddenly becoming popular again in the 2000s.

I am reminded of the night at The Tavern where a young chap dressed as the Sylvester McCoy Doctor Who came in and did a complete circuit of the bar looking for the fan gathering. But of course, we were all wearing faded Sparks t-shirts so he couldn't find us.

FWIW I am not mocking their physical appearance, I am mocking their sartorial choices, which are fair game. I used to wear a flat cap, you know. We've all been on our own journeys.

Please join my campaign for the British government to set up a department that would deal with issues around culture, media (and sport - why not?). And also to set up a specific regulator for broadcast media.

If a news organisation is making -200% margin after five years, it is not a commercial operation and should be assumed to have a different purpose.

I think some people buy them and then read it on their kindle version instead. Like people who buy LPs and then listen to them on Spotify.
