Now that Stranger Things has ended, can we take a moment to appreciate the amazing love letter to synthesizers that Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein composed for the show?
Their setup included synths like the Prophet-6, Prophet-5, Univox Mini-Korg, Oberheim SEM, Roland SH-2, ARP 2600, and a lot more!

The other night we finished watching the Doctor Who season closer 'The Green Death', possibly my favourite story of all the Pertwee era. I particularly liked this sparkling dialogue.

They've done a good job of hiding 'The Reality War' slates but you can tell from the Behind the Scenes and Unleashed videos which scenes were part of the February shoots because director Alex Pillai's hair is longer.

The Rani was mentioned in The Giggle, in dialogue that was cut but made it into the book. I wonder if that mention in front of The Toymaker was deliberate? #DoctorWho

So sad to see Alan Yentob has left us. I got to know him back in the 80s when I worked in BBC Press and Publicity and frequently chatted to him about promoting his various documentaries. Hugely smart and funny and kind man. RIP

I still stubbornly insist on referring to Snickers bars as Marathon, despite the name change happening 35 years ago.
What change do you illogically refuse to accept despite everyone else moving on?

If host, David Tennant, doesn't walk onto the set of ITV's 'The Genius Game' and mutter, "You've redecorated. I don't like it," then he should return his Doctor Who fan club membership card immediately.
