    @tregeagle Way ahead of you. In my teatime #TV roster at the moment: #DrWho (of course), Rumpole, Drop the Dead Donkey, Sherlock Holmes, and Hill Street Blues. I'm hoping it has a preventative as well as palliative effect, but perhaps that ship has sailed.

    #RIP Tim Brooke-Taylor. This hurts. To any Australian of my age 6pm was endless weekday repeats of the Goodies followed by #DrWho at 6:30. Weekend evenings were a disappointment. Damn it, #Covid-19, now it's personal. Bless him. Not many of us get to make a career out of satirising oneself. At least, not intentionally. https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/35122

    I want to be positive, but Jesus Christ that was terrible. A plot would be nice. Or failing that, just some running around in corridors. Come back Terry Nation, all is forgiven! I'd sooner rewatch Time Flight than this thin gruel. Looked expensive though. So, there's that. #DrWho S12E06 #review

    @andyc Not your fault. How the hell is #PHP still a moving target? It's half as old as me! I'm still watching 1970s #DrWho and listening to the #Beatles and thinking it's great!

    #RIP Nicholas Parsons. A surprisingly capable actor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7-hqO2LHic #DrWho Now I'll never get to take him out. I'll raise a glass of barmy fluid regardless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtUPJZfHmz8 #ComicStrip #MrJolly

    #RIP Wendy Willams, who brilliantly under-played Vira in the Ark in Space, the paradigmatic "base under seige" story. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2019/12/wendy-williams-1934-2019.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S4X-fXWtmM #DrWho

    #RIP Terrance Dicks, the man who invented 1970s #DrWho and steered it for five years, prolific script writer, novelist, and true gentleman. Thank you for making my adolescence wonderful, Terrance. https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/31673 https://microblog.mjd.id.au/attachment/31672

    @andyc Re: #DrWho, Colin Baker always used to say the part could be played by anybody with an Equity card, which explains why his performance was so thoroughly misjudged. Jodie Whittaker's great; a bit too self-consciously quirky, but they all are at the start. New showrunner Chibnall was not quite as self-assured as I expected from a fan of my vintage and a generally well-regarded writer who's handled some thankless gigs before (eg. Torchwood). Keen/apprehensive to see how they settle in next year.

    #RIP the ubiquitous Glyn Houston, who gave us a couple of memorable #DrWho appearances as well as… Good grief, it might be quicker to list the shows he wasn't in. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2019/07/glyn-houston-1925-2019.html

    Been 30 years since the end of classic #DrWho. Cut down a couple of years into a potential new golden age by Thatcherite #BBC management hell-bent on outsourcing to independent production companies everything that wasn't nailed down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3u-ia1wfGI

    Production designer Roger Murray-Leach, who worked on "golden era" #DrWho also did #LocalHero. I love that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Murray-Leach

    "When asked what my favourite #TV show is, I always say it’s not Doctor Who, because that’s too big to be a ‘favourite TV show’, it’s more of a lifestyle choice." #q Paul Cornell #DrWho

    The criminally underrated Doctor Peter Davison (though I suppose being possibly Britain's second-best-loved actor after Judi Dench and never being out of work a day in his life has been some consolation). Perfect casting (more by good luck than good judgment) undermined by a production team that sincerely loved and believed in the show, but fundamentally didn't understand it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXARnlPFsOk #DrWho
