A few more chapters left to go of this wonderful book by @johnhiggs.bsky.social. I don’t want it to end. And a rare book that warrants the hype. Will finish it now facing the offing - which feels somehow appropriate.

This book was tremendously good. I’ve never really got into the behind the scenes so learned a lot. Love how it shows how the main actors influenced the character of The Doctor. @johnhiggs.bsky.social

I am looking for an animator, to work with long-term. Ideally something stylised - my ideal would be Eddie Campbell, but animated.
Please holler at me, and quote me for, say, ten one-minute animations of audio sketches and stand-up bits.
(Ideally I’d put one out a week.)

Much better than most travel books, especially the chapter on Northampton. And it doesn't fall into the usual Milton Keynes clichés. An interesting read.

Just finished Exterminate/Regenerate by @johnhiggs.bsky.social and it's an absolute must-read if you are a Doctor Who fan, of course, but also more broadly a fascinating history of the changing TV landscape and the BBC
