Happy birthday to Kenneth Colley, who would’ve turned 88 years old today. Colley played Admiral Piett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and is the only actor to play the same Imperial officer in more than one Star Wars movie.

I don't have the best track record with Doctor Who's TV spin-offs, but...

I know that plans like this require so much planning that they can't be a reaction to today's "theatrical windows" comments, but it's certainly a nice coincidence!

What strategy game when under EVERYBODY'S radar? I still think more people should play Valkyria Chronicles!
It originally released on PS3, but you can pick it up on Switch right now, and I suggest you do!

14 years ago today, Materwelonz - a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside a Spoonerism - uploaded a video about how to make a fridge in Minecraft. 6000+ videos and 100,000+ subscribers later, she's one of the most entertaining people on the web.
Happy birthday, @welonz.bsky.social's YouTube channel!

I can't remember who first recommended Mrs. Davis to me, but if you think it might've been you, give yourself a big pat on the back.
I really enjoyed this weird romp, and I can't wait to see whatever showrunner Tara Hernandez does next.

Time to mark the 62nd Doctor Who anniversary with a special episode that turns 12 today.
Probably still my favourite episode, it’s just so well done. Equal parts reverential and dramatic - John Hurt portrays the tragedy of The War Doctor, and the relief at the end of - so well.
Just wonderful.

Quick question for fans of The Sarah Jane Adventures: is the fanfare that plays whenever Mr. Smith deploys non-diegetic, or are all the characters hearing it?

My #GuessTheGame #8 was the incredible AND ORIGINAL Command and Conquer, played here on PlayStation One.
A lot of near misses with Red Alert, this week but I'm afraid this one was the very first.

Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill are doing a a podcast called Pondcast where they reminisce about Doctor Who. No word on when it will become available but they’ve already recorded a few and have had Steven Moffat as a guest.

I think I'll watch an ITV pilot and read a short story (both from 1996) today.
On a completely unrelated note, I wish Steven Moffat - one of my favourite writers, in any medium - a very, VERY happy 64th birthday!

I thought I'd try to psyche myself up for "The War Between the Land and the Sea" by finally watching the only Doctor Who spin-off I haven't seen yet.
...Yeah, I dunno, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I'm not sure if the Incomparable's "Total Party Kill" podcast could ever get Sara Pascoe on an episode, but she HAS played Dungeons and Dragons at least once (on a live-stream for Comic Relief) - and judging by this week's episode of QI, she has the right instincts for the game.
