The best ever season of #DoctorWho comes to Blu-ray this summer!
"I'm not a human being. I walk in Eternity..." Thrilled to reveal the cover for #DoctorWho The Collection Season 13! We're back again, giving our beloved show the love it deserves! (10 points to the first person who spots what the background to this one is).
Just received my copy of our latest @_Fanderson FAB BOOK... dedicated to Comic Free Gifts which was great fun to design and contribute to. They are on sale to members now at fanderson.org.uk/shop/. #GerryAnderson #SylviaAnderson
... Faceless Ones 2-6; Evil of the Daleks; Abominable Snowmen; Ice Warriors; and Space Pirates 1-3, 5, 6 among many others. Across 1976-77 most of these returns would be routinely destroyed by the BBC. This was while Tom Baker was starring in Season 13 and 14 #DoctorWho 2/2
WOW! The latest BFI TV release is a 60s kids curio. A must have!

So, yeah, here's me on Twitter last week doing a gag about a police post in an 1988 T'Pau video and remarking how Carol Decker's look would have suited Mel Bush in #DoctorWho. So here we are a week later ...
Gutted to hear of the passing of another childhood hero, Scottish actor Prentis Hancock, Main Mission controller Paul Morrow in the first - and by far the best - season of Space:1999 #GerryAnderson #SylviaAnderson
Fascinating colour cine footage of Student Rag Week in Glasgow in 1967 ... and there's something for #DoctorWho fans here ... youtu.be/sFCsNt0PKqo?t=… #Daleks
Congrats to John and commiserations to runner-up Rita on BBC #interiordesignmasters. We were lucky enough to stay in Rita's Battery cottage earlier this year and it was so cosy, we loved it. Gf has been looking for the dining room wallpaper ever since! #Portmeirion #ThePrisoner
"Lay on a jeep, man!" Textbook phone acting and what a job of work for you to find them all!

Whiled away Friday evening recovering from a cold and watching 1984's, er, flawed Supergirl. Then last night took in the latest #DoctorWho Wish World. Is it just me thinking the designer had been watching the Argo City scenes recently? (Probably, yes) A kinda skeletal vibe.
