@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!

The Doctor Who Role Playing Game from FASA (1985). You don't actually get to play the Doctor, but can be a companion or an apprentice Time Lord. Despite the release date it still features a lot of Tom Baker artwork!

@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!

There's something about this that's so black, it's like how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black! Midnight Gloss Black Paint Jobs are now available. fron.dev/f56f

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

What's your favourite mystery in Elite Dangerous?

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

Shocking Defeat of the Daleks! ⚡️😱⚡️ Rendered in #Blender3D with post-production in Photoshop

@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.

SECRET MESSAGE FROM TIME LORDS! In 1977, Weetabix began one of the greatest cereal giveaways ever in honour of Scarred For Life gateway drug Doctor Who. Beautiful stand-up character cards! Game boards! Bring back this sort of thing!

@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!)

On Saturday 30th August 1980 on BBC1 Doctor Who returned for its 18th season with the Leisure Hive and a brand new police drama called Juliet Bravo began broadcasting! #DoctorWho #JulietBravo

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

Prog 290 More shilling. Take a day off, mate.

@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!

Prog 224 Judge Death returns! He brings war, famine, pestilence, and a price hike of one penny to 2000 AD.

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

@PulpLibrarian Surely I am not the only one who just listened to this like any other record?

Tracks include: - Sutekh's Time Tunnel! - The Kraal Disorientation Chamber! - A Tesh Gun fires! and many, many more... Doctor Who Sound Effects. BBC Records 1978.

@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.

Ditto The London Dungeon. It was way, way more gory when I first visited 1984. The centre-piece was a dark giant cavern 'Hieronymus Bosch' style recreation of hell. Inclusive of screams of torment. Humans impaled. Creepy minions. Flickering light. Sadly The London Dungeon is tame today to what it was. Last time I was there in few years back they were preparing for that most traditional of English customs. Halloween!

In the 1970s, Blackpool's Louis Tussaud's Waxworks had a Chamber of Horrors, which included the Moors Murderers, a scalping scene, a torture chamber, and this horrific traffic accident... Y'know, for kids.

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

In 2020 the ghost ship Adamastor drifted on autopilot into the Chukchan system... Bringing the sinister Azimuth Biotech into the spotlight... #10YearsOfEliteDangerous

@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.

Is the Geoff Love 'Disco Liberator' considered 'canon'? It is for me! 🪩🕺

@PulpLibrarian Hmmm...

"Danger Will Robinson! Danger!" Lost in Space: Menace From Uranus! Gold Key comics, 1967.

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

@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!

"DOCTOR WHO: THE GAME OF TIME AND SPACE" (1980). #DrWho #DoctorWho #1980s #scifiart #sciencefiction

@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.

#OnThisDay 2065: "IT IS A PLAGUE!" ("TV21" issue 37 (1965)). #DrWho #DoctorWho #scifi #1960s #sciencefiction #scifiart #Daleks

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

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

@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!

Working on the #Blakes7 Production Diary Series B and @Blakes7Diary is sending me jaw dropping imagery. This stunning pic of Carnell & Servalan from 'Weapon' was crying out to be the cover of a synth pop single from 1979. I had to, sorry. I'd TOTALLY be a fan of 'Federation' 😆
