@PulpLibrarian My first RPG as game master! It took a lot of liberties with the TV show, but was still great fun. Think I owned every single supplement!

@EliteDangerous Every time you try to operate one of these weird black controls which are labelled in black on a black background, a small black light lights up black to let you know you’ve done it!

@CmdrRunningWild Other: Where does the Winking Cat stash all the loot?!

[David Wailing @davidwailing]

@AnthonyLamb As not seen on TV! (Gorgeous work!)

[David Wailing @davidwailing]

@ScarredForLife2 John Scott Martin finally getting a chance to do the Dalek voice as well as move the prop! And I also choked down plenty of disgusting cardboard bricks to get these.

@RichardHarris73 I vividly remember the shock of the new titles and theme tune blasting out from my telly! (And buying the 7” record of the theme tune a few weeks later!)

@RealPaulPutner I owned this watch at school and was incredibly popular for about one and a half lunchtimes.

[David Wailing @davidwailing]

@RealPaulPutner This is probably my favourite prog of all time. My copy was left in a car back seat in the blazing sun for a week, and ended up looking yellowed and eerie, perfect for Judge Death!

[David Wailing @davidwailing]

@RichardStraw10 @PulpLibrarian I did too. And all the Death and Horror sound effects albums. I was an odd child...

[David Wailing @davidwailing]

@IFingz @ScarredForLife2 I have memories of seeing this as a kid around 1982. Was it called the Pandemonium? Some kind of revolving thing in a dark chamber with demons and screams, which genuinely scared the crap out of me. And London Dungeon's musty stench clung to us for ages.

@EliteDangerous I'm still really pleased at coming up with the name 'Adamastor' for that ship!

[David Wailing @davidwailing]

@cult_edge It's a little-known fact that Geoff Love produced these fantastic original space tunes first, and others were inspired by his music and designs to make TV shows and movies around them. So Disco Liberator is actually MORE canon.

[David Wailing @davidwailing]

@PulpLibrarian Hmmm...

@dogboy_uk Congrats! Great to get your "amazingly evocative Gloranthan art", as they rightly call it, recognised!

[David Wailing @davidwailing]

@WorldsofDrWho I remember playing this a few times in the early 80s. Enjoyable, esp for Who fans, but very fiddly with loads of tiny counters that kept getting lost in the shag-pile carpet!

[David Wailing @davidwailing]

@WorldsofDrWho "STA-TIC E-LEC-TRI-CI-TY WILL SAVE US!" Always loved this story, and that the Black Dalek tries to atone for his mistakes by trying to commit suicide.

[David Wailing @davidwailing]

@MajorPazuzu "BABYLON 5'S A BIG PILE OF SHIT!!!"

[David Wailing @davidwailing]

@SpacedTV Fascinating! Nika never made it to screen - imagine Twist's face if she did.

[David Wailing @davidwailing]

@cult_edge @Blakes7Diary I remember that Top of the Pops in 1979 when Federation strode in halfway through Tubeway Army's performance, shot Gary Numan in cold blood, then performed the title track of their 'Seek-Locate-Destroy' LP over his corpse. Couldn't believe it!
