Modern fandom (of practically everything) in a nutshell. It’s not the fans that are changing, it’s always the IP. The result: only half of fans will be happy with a new iteration, the other half will be completely disenfranchised. The lucky winners don’t care.

R.I.P. Jill Curzon. Seen here as Norma Crispin in Hugh and I - Here Comes The Bride (31st July 1962)

As I posted this, I did briefly consider whether anybody out there could possibly think I was being serious. Of course not, I decided.
Ah well.

She could have had such a legacy

@prezza89 Yes it is. The show isn't listed on his or David Schneider's IMDB.
It was a 13 part series with a different cast each week.

CBBC 1991 "FLIP"
I've no recollection of this show - it must have been on before I got home from school.
Features the TARDIS prop (as the TARDIS) - the one soon to be sold off to Andrew Beech.

RIP Jill Curzon, seen on the right in "Hugh and I" from 1965, a year before making "Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150AD"

@JohnPKelly78 I found a lot of Who comes alive an episode a day.
I even enjoyed The Dominators that way - all at once it felt interminable!

I hear that Season 16 is the next collection set due in the Autumn.
After initially not taking to it when the videos came out (I stopped after Tara) - as a moody teen I didn't gel with the tone or the cheapness - it came alive with the dvd boxset (especially in comparison to -

@JohnPKelly78 Kroll is a perfect wet afternoon watch.
The Armageddon Factor works for me as the first time I saw it was through the 2003 Uk Gold weekday evening repeats for the anniversary. 2 episodes a night, it worked really well like that and kept me hooked.

@LRoundels Stones of Blood is great, but the highlight for me is Androids of Tara. Absolutely brilliant, joyous.
Ribos is very good, Pirate Planet is fun and interesting (mostly), and I even like Kroll.
I do struggle with the drawn-out Armageddon Factor, although Drax does liven it up.

@jlb44664 In terms of Tom's performance it's one of my favourites. He's really off-form in season 15 and takes it a bit too far in season 17 (at times) but season 16, he's reached the stage of he just is The Doctor - he's so comfortable so the show feels comfortable.

@LRoundels I don’t find myself revisiting Classic Who that much atm, but when I do I am always circling S16. The stories feel a little less familiar to me than S17. I think it’s the dialogue and performances. Tom is still transitioning between his serious and comedy style. Love the vibes.

Some attempts at a London Underground office for Mother.
Yeah it doesn't know what Patrick Newell, Linda Thorson or Rhonda Parker look like.

@RodneyMarshall1 They spoiled The Bill by going to hour long episodes.
I loved revisiting the half hour Danger Man episodes - not all out standing but they're very digestible and a nice way to wind down of an evening.

TV minimalism. The half-hour television series. In reality, 25 minutes when you allow for a commercial break. Back in the late-50s writers like my dad - in both the UK and US - were trained to create taut scripts. No room for 'flab'. If they got it spot on, it was a great format.

One of my favourite episodes.
The trial scene is hilarious with all the confusion😂

Are You Being Served? - Oh What a Tangled Web (13th May 1976). Tongues are wagging after if appears that Captain Peacock is having an affair with Mr Rumbold's secretary, Miss Monica Hazlewood (Melita Manger).

May have just stumbled onto something extremely rare and significant.
Typing Coronation Street 1960 into Shutterstock, they have telesnaps via ITV of what is called Episode 1 of Coronation Street which looks to be the first dry runs/pilot episode.
This is incredible to see!
