Bored, so I thought I'd 🧵 my #DoctorWho and professional #library, knowledge management, records management and book related passions together, and chart the occurrences they appear in the time travelling programme. No doubt I've missed some, so please let me know.

Published by @obversebooks.co.uk with proceeds going to @filmisfabulous.bsky.social, this will be of interest to others like me. obversebooks.co.uk/product/fabu...

@tobyhadoke.bsky.social Hi Toby, hope you are well. I feel I've missed an announcement, but did I see someone say you have a second Quatermass book on the way? Thoroughly enjoyed the first - are you working your way through then all? About to listen to your Remembering Nigel Kneale Radio 4 Extra.

I made a little show as an extra for BBC Radio 4 Extra (pretty much in my own time): it’s being repeated to mark 20 years since the death of Nigel Kneale. This sort of bonus (dare I say it Reithian?) content will not be possible once the station goes in March. Enjoy: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

"a distinctively British approach to artificial intelligence"

A very enjoyable event. Peter Serafinowicz extremely entertaining (his Paul McCartney story hilarious), but Doon Mackichan a more interesting interviewee, about her early career battles against the patriarchy, and it seems, a lot of time spent in basements improvising! Both, titans of modern comedy.

Blimey, any old shit got to number one then, didn't it? #TOTP

Eight episodes into this series, and finally an enjoyable #Taskmaster. But... there's still no chemistry between the contestants.

Off to see Peter Serafinovicz tonight. I'm slightly excited.

This year Santa is using AI to make and check his list. Best of luck getting what you asked for, kids

Bad news: the BBC is set to scrap Radio 4 Extra. 📻 Losing this treasure trove of classic comedy, archive drama, and timeless storytelling would be a huge blow for millions of us. Sign the petition to help save it 👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

If I didn't know any better I'd say this AI.

Why did I not watch Hyperdrive at the time? Dare I say I think it's better than Red Dwarf? www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p008wllk via @bbciplayer

I've now finished my Alexei Sayle rewatch. There's no doubt Stuff is the best series. I remember the Bobby Chariot and Stephen Lewis sketches from the All New Show (but may have made one up in my mind). But I have no recollection of the darker Merry Go Round series at all (tho I must've watched it.)

AI thinks I look like Sean Bean!

I actually don't think this is the worst song at a wedding reception, but a work colleague who has recently tied the knot, he and his new missus compiled their own reception playlist of bands they'd seen together. Great for them, but their gran was perturbed by the inclusion of Slipknot!

I think Alexei Sayle may have compiled today's Squaredle. I played squaredle.com 10/18: 66/66 words (+3 bonus words) 🎯 Perfect accuracy 🔥 Solve streak: 296

Go to your camera roll and search Boat.. then post a picture of a boat you like.

Norman Conquest? Looks more like Norman Lovett.

Having seen it recently through my rewatch of The All New Alexei Sayle Show, this brings to mind the sketch for Every Song Ever Recorded available in one collection.

The moment I became a Doctor Who fan.

I'm starting to spot a trend. My knees do not like the month of October. I had gout this time last year too. #goutdiary

SAVE IT! I'm sure if they pointed out that David Bowie once saw Paint Your Wagon there in 1970, that would stop closure. (I also used to go there all the time but doubt my name would have as much sway.) BBC News - Campaigners try to save Beckenham's Art Deco Odeon www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Pleased to see that all episodes of both The All New Alexei Sayle Show and Alexei Sayle's Merry-go-Round are on YouTube, so I know what I'll be doing over the next few weeks. I don't think either series have ever had a DVD release?

I'm listening to Death Comes To Time for the first time. It's... different... isn't it?

Ok, I might have been a bit hasty to judge the new Fat Dog album. While there are slower tracks, there are also a good few trademark smashers. But I maintain for the time being that Adult DVD are this year's Fat Dog. #DownWithTheKidz
