Tom Baker, the original 35mm telejector slide from the BBC Presentation Slide Library, this was used throughout most of his tenure to trail the following episode/story. The photo itself was taken on set during the filming of “The Ark in Space”.
Hard agree. Star Wars is for kids and it’s a bonus if adults enjoy it. My grandsons loved the film and I loved that they enjoyed it so much. This is the way.

Wow - absolutely brilliant piece on the forgetting of lockdown. ‘This is not mere absence but active amnesia. The war, which ended six decades before I was born, was forced into every corner of my schooling. But the pandemic, which happened yesterday, is already consigned to the same memory black hole as Swampy, Cat Bin Lady and freakshakes.’
Also helps old people like me to understand why the young people are so bizarrely obsessed by N*zis. (Which we never were, despite them being much more recent to us)

Blimey, BBC Four, what have we done to deserve this? Next Wednesday 30 July, the late evening schedule is devoted to THREADS and THE WAR GAME, two of the most horrifying and bleakly depressing films ever made. There will be documentaries, too. Get the snacks in!

I suppose the questions is, would Doctor Who fans be willing to accept an American, even a hardcore anglophile with a UK visa, for such an inherently British series, given Babylon 5 and Sense8 and the like? Would I be worthy?
Sounds great! #DoctorWho #CBeebies
The BBC is expanding the Whoniverse with plans for a brand new pre-school animation series which will see the Doctor’s adventures come to CBeebies for the first time ever!
