@Blakes7Diary I always thought it was a mistake for RTD to come back. Textbook case of "never go back to a job once you've left it". It's odd because his 1st run was so good & his scripts outside of Who have been great. He just totally lost his flair for it since the 2000s.
@RobertJenrick "Pay for your own travel" says the man on an £86.5k salary who in 2023-24 expensed £2.3k of his travel costs on the taxpayer 🤔

.@waitrose Staff at your Beckenham store couldn't bring themselves to give my heavily pregnant wife a free cup of coffee from the cafe when the coffee machine was broken. Such a shoddy way to treat paying customers. Where's the customer service? 🤔
Listened to the entirety of @smashingpumpkins new record "Atum" & it was EPIC. A 33-song rock opera that pushes all the prog/sci-fi buttons you could ever want. There are highlights all the way through but Act III in particular is the finest collection o… https://t.co/MSIj50UVtl
It's May so it's time to turn the page & greet Colin Baker's bombastic Sixth Doctor! Despite being dressed in a flamboyant technicolour dreamcoat, this was the darkest Doctor yet. Then primarily known for playing villains & heavies, Baker brought somethi… https://t.co/rowdzUBbCH

March belongs to Tom Baker's iconic Fourth Doctor. As the role's longest-serving actor- 7 years from 1974 to 1981- he remains for a generation the definitive Time Lord. With his shock of curly hair & implausibly long scarf, Baker's Doctor may have looked… https://t.co/QKkEhyXVXN
With UFOs back in the headlines, it's a fitting moment to finish this collected edition of Topps' infamous trading card series "Mars Attacks". Released in 1962 at the height of Cuban missile Cold War hysteria, the cards depicted the invasion of Earth by … https://t.co/mU8c5ZnnZn
February is the month of Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor- that roadster-driving, cape-wearing, karate-chopping dapper dandy! Like Liberace crossed with Bruce Lee, as he was once memorably described. #doctorwho#thirddoctor#jonpertwee#reversethepolarity#ven… https://t.co/j3VTiLUPNV
New year, new calendar- this time it's a special one for the Doctor's 60th anniversary. Kicking things off in January with the two 60s Doctors- William Hartnell's crotchety grandfather & Patrick Troughton's cosmic hobo. Splendid chaps, both of them. #doc… https://t.co/yhagQUnsko
My 500th Instagram post & a #flashbackfriday to when @barbiebarron83 & I visited @ryewaterworks. A microbrewery that moonlights as an auction house- everything in the pub is for sale. At any given moment, the tables & chairs you're seated at could be bou… https://t.co/1PhtYwr7gh
Next year Siouxsie Sioux returns to the stage after a 10-year hiatus. Punk icon, Queen of Goth & the frontwoman of one of Britain's most underrated bands. Where has she been & what dark musings has she got for us? #siouxsie#siouxsiesioux#siouxsieandthe… https://t.co/NWqjQZStTi
@pipmadeley There have been highlights since but it was far better when the show was off the air tbh. The Eighth Doctor comics were some of the greatest Who ever 👍
