Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk

I would like to thank @unamccormack.bsky.social for reading my contribution to Target Book Day. It was beautifully read. I shall endeavour to overcome my stage fright should there be a next time! An explanation of what Una read - it was a DW 'story' made up of chapter titles from Target Books.

Something has to go wrong - both trains so far running on time.

Good morning, we now have SEVEN TICKETS remaining for #DoctorWho #TargetBookClub tomorrow. Dresscode: Waters Of Mars (bit.ly/smallbluebox)

My favourite thing in Where Eagles Dare - and there are many candidates - is that Mary NEVER once looks like she is remotely bothered about what was going on. She could be popping down to Tescos for all it matters.

Despite wegottickets being down yesterday for *cough* reasons, someone still managed to buy a ticket so we've.... TEN TİCKETS LEFT for #DoctorWho #TargetBookClub on Saturday if you're feeling lucky, try buying one at bit.ly/smallbluebox

On this day way back in 1979 the City of Death, episode 4 in season 17 of Doctor Who reached 16 million viewers. @outonbluesix.bsky.social wrote a fantastic article about this in the Doctor Who Appreciation Socity's recent book 70-79. Copies from here www.dwasonline.co.uk/dw7079

Pre-order now in time for the release in November. You know you want to! windmillrecords.bigcartel.com/product/the-...

Just 19 TICKETS LEFT for #DoctorWho #TargetBookClub on Saturday 24th October. Buy yours at bit.ly/smallbluebox

Two weeks until #DoctorWho #TargetBookClub. Expect lots of promos as I try and flog the last few tickets (mainly so I can print the list for door in advance rather than copying it out on the tube on the way, but also I like money) Tickets: bit.ly/smallbluebox

LUNA “ Marquee Moon” at City Winery - Nashville, TN 2nd October 2026

The Kickstarter is now live for Share & Enjoy, the graphic novel I’ve written about the improbable life and times of Douglas Adams, creator of The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. With illustrations by the mighty Martin Geraghty! www.kickstarter.com/projects/roo...

More than faintly terrified as to how well (or not) this could go down...

Recent-ish ITV drama/detective programmes: The Blame The Dark The Bay The Widow The Victim The Sister The Loch The Twelve The Suspect The Staircase There must be more...

Just received my copy of this - it's huge!!! Amazing work by Paul, it deserves to be supported, so get your copy now! (I've contributed bits to it, but it's all Paul's work!)

So...this arrived today. 'Screen Printed' by @wonderfulbooks.co.uk a celebration of the Doctor Who Target books. Absolutely gorgeous to look at and crammed full of amazing detail. Stunning stuff. Buy it here... www.lulu.com/shop/paul-mc...

This is done by Richard Moore who has lovingly restored and released Peter Skellern recordings over several Kickstarter projects. The fact he is involved makes this project top notch backable.

Went to the pictures this afternoon to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark. I did see it on its original release and I must seen it 427 times since. If any film deserves 'classic' attached to it, this one does. There are a few plot holes, but when something is this good, who cares!?

Ludwig, series 2. Argh! I really enjoy this programme - funny, clever and a great premise. But...with the establishment cover up it feels like it's boxed itself into a corner and has to keep adding to the conspiracy to keep up the momentum. I don't think Ludwig needs it though.

Vigil series 3 is very good nonsense and totally daft. It would be improved a hundred fold with the discovery of two pods.

I bought New York Dolls in about 1982. It's still in remarkably good shape. Favourite track is Lonely Planet Boy, but Frankenstein is extraordinary. Inner sleeve from WH Smiths.

Still packs a mean punch - Wreck of the 809 is some song.
