Share if you agree: animals should never be used as live targets.

It’s been 6 years yesterday @oldsixie.bsky.social since Colin Baker received his honorary doctorate on Monday, 7 September 2015. during a graduation ceremony held at the Wycombe Swan theatre. [1] (www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/1365212...)

This beautiful, fragile pheasant chick died a cruel death on a pheasant factory farm. She is one of many who have lost their lives because they were seen as units, products, not as live animals who can suffer. All this suffering so people can get their kicks from shooting pheasants out of the air.

Having just seen the Final of The Piano It is one of my all time favourite TV programmes - a perfect antidote to the current international zeitgeist A celebration of hope empathy and the best of humanity If you havn’t - watch the series

What is special about the number 73? It’s the number of days that the future 6th Doctor was on this planet before the future 7th arrived. Happy birthday, Sylvester And Sophie Aldred 6940 days later! 🍾🍰

Buying online has become impenetrable. You order from a company called ABC Ltd & later on get a notification from a company called DEF Ltd that your item is on the way You’ve had no previous relationship with DEF Ltd. So you don’t know which of several items you’ve ordered, they’re talking about.!

Too many former colleagues and chums leaving us Now Tom Chadbon has exited - a lovely chap and fine actor and Ronnie le Drew aka Zippy from Rainbow whom I sat next to at a Convention only a couple of weeks ago Sad sad times

We were very sorry to read of the death of Bill Oddie, who was a magnificent Red Jasper in Doctor Who and the Pirates, recorded in 2003. Our condolences to his family and friends.

I also mourn the passing of Bill Oddie whom I worked with on several occasions He was funny talented and an original Yes he could be grumpy. A characteristic I am proud to share with him. Along with his passion for wildlife. We will all miss him.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at Plymouth Comicon and Gaming Festival at Plymouth Life Centre tomorrow for UKCGF Come and say Hello

Happy Birthday to the delightful wise and witty Lalla Ward!! 🥂

Every pride month at least one person sends me this cartoon of @oldsixie.bsky.social at Pride. This year it was @thasceles.bsky.social. Always makes me smile. (credit in link)

The bird shooting industry hates us right now. Which is good. It means we're doing something right. They hate the fact their industry is being exposed to millions of people.

You’ll never guess which party he represents. WRONG. Also WRONG. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

We're building a mass movement to end bird shooting in this country. Join our mailing list to stay up to date: protectthewild.org.uk/join-end-bir...

A very happy birthday today to my dear friend fellow Geminian and former colleague Anita Harris 🥰

If you’re going to Collectormania Milton Keyes! On Saturday. Pop over to Colin’s table. @oldsixie.bsky.social

I didn’t know I had an Amazon music subscription as I have never used it, but I’ve just had to cancel it because I didn’t know I had it but I can’t find any way of telling Amazon that I have been paying for a subscription without knowing it and never using it.

Our money is on @oldsixie.bsky.social

GB News is trying to gut the BBC. Their radical plan would force shows like Strictly and The Traitors to be axed or hidden behind a Netflix-style paywall. Sign the petition to say NO to a BBC subscription model:

If you get shot in the arc, it’s best if you do it to yourself!!!

So sorry to learn that we have lost Michael Keating. A lovely man and effortlessly real actor. I think even Bayban the Butcher would mourn his passing As do I

McDonald and Dodds is such a good programme and I am astonished it was cancelled- currently being rerun on ITV 3 Lovely stuff!

Looking forward to seeing you all at London Comic Con Spring this weekend #LCCSpring and #ShowmastersEvents Have your photo taken with me and Brian Blessed if you dare!

I wonder why the only names being pursued in the media in the Epstein abuse saga are British? And the only person imprisoned is also female…

Much though I have enjoyed all of my many trips to the USA over forty or so years I have realised that I cannot go there any more until there is what we might call ‘regime change’ Like Iran they are killing their own citizens. Tragic

Interesting to see Inspector Morse - House of Ghosts by Alma Cullen is touring again. It was on in Oxford this week 16 years after I played that part in it at the same theatre. Good play - well worth a revival.

He’s right about one thing No one’s ever seen anything like it

Giveaway! I’m giving one lucky person the chance to pick one shelf of books from our Bertvent bookcase. Follow and repost by midday on Saturday 27th and I’ll pick someone at random! Which shelf will you choose? (UK only)

@faceofboe.bsky.social Wishing you and your family a peaceful and happy Christmas Gill And hoping you are all thriving and joyous knit wits!

Just watched the first two episodes of the war between the land and the sea Brilliant stuff, just brilliant Hats off to Russell T and Pete Tighe and all involved.

For years I have complained about the absence of anything in a theatre program to indicate what year the play took place in and still they don’t include the year with the date. Fine when you’re in the theatre, but not years later when you’re looking at them.

The FIFA draw is steadily moving from tedium to massive embarrassment

Happy Doctor Who Day everyone 62 years of Gallifreyan fun and frolics! 👍👏🩷

This is James and Alana Who between them ensured I was at Salisbury Comicon today when a pothole destroyed two of my tyres when I was 9 miles away! They picked me up and waited for the AA and tyre repairer 🩷

Happy days are here again Recording Big Finish today That’s always a good day

My heart goes out to all the people that have a pet that’s terrified of the fireworks tonight 🐶🐱 Hugs x @oldsixie.bsky.social @nicolabryant.bsky.social
