'The Adventures of Chris Fable'. Ghastly, awful, slow, tedious, painful, amateurish, like the very worst student film ever.

I still have some of the little Dalek figures -- gold with blue domes, silver with red domes -- although the game itself and the human figures disintegrated long ago.

My most re-Skied post this year has been a mildly funny joke about Taylor Swift's different incarnations teaming up, and I still have no clue why this took off when other more relevant and interesting things got literally zero traction.

It's incredibly frustrating and there doesn't seem to be an answer. A massive silence is so much worse even than a bad response.

Also co-hosted an 80s radio show where we tried to interview him, all pre-arranged, and he'd clearly forgotten about it, so did it on the train, and gave monosyllabic answers. That wasn't terribly good.

I liked the 80s one best. The 90s one was a bit 'hey look at all the people I hob-nobbed with, and ooh didn't they all take a lot of drugs, ooh'. I did a book event with AC once as his 'support', 20 years ago when my 80s music book was out! He was very affable.

I can't work out if the chameleon circuit is on the blink and it's reverted to its natural form, or if it's actually working really well... although perhaps a dial down of the colour is on order.

Ah, thank you.

I think @tobyhadoke.bsky.social said it on one of his podcasts? He will soon tell us if it was original or quoted from somewhere else.

I'm sure there are lots of films I don't know about which are set in the Weald of Kent, but 'The Mirror Crack'd' (1980) was filmed on location in my village, Smarden, which became Miss Marple's home of St. Mary Mead.

I always think Part Four rather puts a dampener on the fine Scottish atmosphere so far evoked. If only they'd tweaked this by having the Duke's castle as the venue for the energy conference all along!

I expect there's some way of asking her. But it was probably two days' work back in 2010. It'll be like those Who actors on DVD commentaries who swear blind their episode was TV Centre when it was Lime Grove and vice-versa 😆
