THE DOCTOR WHO - LABOUR LEADER CORRELATION.

1. WILLIAM HARTNELL - HAROLD WILSON's 1st term 1964-1966

Hugely popular as the public are dazzled by the white heat of technology. 2. PATRICK TROUGHTON - HAROLD WILSON's 2nd term 1966-1970

Starts off very popular - he could almost be the fifth Beatle - but then budget cuts mean the public grows tired of the same old base-under-siege stories.

Tonight's SF classic. This is lots of fun. John Lithgow in a wig and the fella from Breaking Bad.

Trying - for no particular reason - to track down Jon Pertwee's final appearance as the Doctor, which I think was on an edition of 'You Bet!' or suchlike. No, I'm not thinking of 'Surprise, Surprise'. This was something altogether more baffling; someone showed me the clip once. No, it wasn't an advert for Vodafone. It was in an edition of You Bet! or suchlike. Pertwee as the guest but in character as the Doctor. On some sort of light-entertainment raised platform doing his 'arms-aloft' thing.

Just realised I missed something bleedin' obvious in my article about the 1975 Dalek annual in the latest @DWMtweets special. In the article I explain why I think Terry Nation wrote many, if not all, of the stories in the Dalek annual, and explore the idea that one of them may be based on his storyline for a Dalek story that was rejected by Barry Letts and Terrance Dicks.

This is the graph. The only things that have changed since the government delayed 'freedom day' because there were too many infections is that the number of infections has massively increased and the Conservatives have lost two by-elections. Good lord, the let-kids-get-long-covid-so-I-can-ride-on-the-tube-without-a-mask worms are out in force. Nuts!

Tonight's SF classic. Another one I am inordinately excited to see. Image Oh this is VERY early Pertwee. And there's Sally Faulkner!

Hang on. The Rani finds out about Mel from somewhere, buys a ginger wig and runs up a copy of her outfit so she can impersonate her... but then she leaves her on the floor of the TARDIS unguarded. I mean, she has no right to lay the blame on Urak, that's what I'm saying. People are saying the clothes could have been a hologram or a perception filter and the Rani was actually naked. If that's the case, then the newly-regenerated Doctor played the sporks on the Rani's bare chest. Image

Tonight's SF classic. Image So everyone is ridiculously posh and insult each other all the time. Curtis as usual then.

Not sure we need anymore It’s A Wonderful Life discourse but I’ve seen a couple of professional critics in my timeline completely misunderstanding the point of the film so I feel I must intervene for the sake of reason. Yes, It’s A Wonderful Life ends with Potter getting away with stealing $8000 and with George still trapped in a town he wanted to leave.

But that’s kind of the point, once you realise the film is about depression, and how depression works.

Tonight's SF classic. (It's on Channel 5 right now). Has Jim Sturgess in it which is a mark of quality. I am going to need to be slightly drunk to enjoy this.

Tonight's SF classic. I've seen it before but not in this century. I love that Spielberg ignores the 'rules' of screenwriting. 15 mins in and we finally see the protagonist. Plus of course it sets up mysteries which never get resolved.
