@BobbyDazz12 Yay!🤣

@BraxM @RadioTimes Here's my judge's comments from my 1982 entry. I love how considered and positive they were!

@claytonhickman @TheCyberdevil As the Valeyard once said, “You are elevating futility to a high art!” 😀

[Richard Bignell @NothingLane]

@welsh_pain @ClwydEnComu Artificially heated? What on earth are you going on about? 🤣

[Richard Bignell @NothingLane]

@kingsmillirving Urm, no. It was shown on film, on a 16mm projector.

[Richard Bignell @NothingLane]

@dcrowleyprod @NicoGFr It doesn't mean that you're right, though. Which you aren't.😀

[Richard Bignell @NothingLane]

@DPatz13 @clairemnash So, you’re not going to concede on the other point on which you were also wrong? 🤣

[Richard Bignell @NothingLane]

@thoscheitrash @WeaselFidget It's only done for a laugh, got a few light-hearted boos from the audience for even daring to mention AI, and it got quite a few giggles from the audience. The whole thing only took a minute or two. Hardly problematic in a 3½ hour presentation.

@CyberJef28 Gary Russell shared an out-of-the-box image of his set on Bluesky yesterday.

[Richard Bignell @NothingLane]

@DoctorWhoPix @legwhobrix Absolutely no evidence for that.

[Richard Bignell @NothingLane]

@the_questmaster @lewispringle Yes, they must be. Cura's photographs were always flat-sided, even in his very early ones, not showing any of the screen curvature.

@kevinjondavies @PatrickMulkern @DWASonline Ah, the details were in Celestial Toyroom, not TARDIS!

[Richard Bignell @NothingLane]

@kevinjondavies @PatrickMulkern @DWASonline They advertised the meeting that would include the BFI clip in the September 1976 issue (No.10), saying that it would happen in October. The details of the meeting were supposed to be in the following issue, but it doesn't appear that they remembered to put them in.

[Richard Bignell @NothingLane]

@philwithadrill Yes. The series was just called ‘The Daleks’. ‘The Destroyers’ was the title of the first episode.

[Richard Bignell @NothingLane]

As Sir David Attenborough turns 100 today, here's his memo from December 1966 as Controller of BBC2 to Dennis Scuse at Television Enterprises, turning down the idea that Terry Nation's planned colour Dalek series could find a home on his channel.

@NotImportantUs1 @dcrowleyprod They didn't.

[Richard Bignell @NothingLane]

@KirstieMAllsopp @pattisonpaula1 @spectator No, it really wasn't.

[Richard Bignell @NothingLane]

@DoctorWhoPix Seeing this in TV Comic back in 1976 was the most exciting thing ever. I think I must have looked at that advert a hundred times that day. The thing I was most excited about was the small line down the bottom - "And you won't see it on TV."

@StevenFlavell1 @Rob_Watkins @archives1963 Yes, the collector who has them allowed DWM to print the image of Celation back in 1998. A few others in the collection of 16 have...slipped out over the years.
