Seriously can’t believe I’m waking up to new Doctor Who episodes being found from the 60s! Such amazing news!

Something to look forward to for tomorrow! I’m sure there’ll be some good choices though seeing as these are fairly divisive seasons - even S5 seems to be getting a reappraisal since Enemy was found.

Listened to this while cooking tea tonight. Really interesting to hear three people who have three very different attachments to one story.

I do like it when Doctor Who can feature in my lessons. I used to use it all the time….not so much anymore which is a shame.

My social media was absorbed by #Melfest so only just seeing the #DoctorWho speculation-UNIT emails/reels posted on official socials. Announcement soon? Maybe by 26th March (21st anniversary of Rose)? They must start filming Xmas special soon so things will leak. Is the moment being prepared for?

It looks like a horse’s head wrapped in cellophane to me…but I’m sure the correct answer is far more laden with innuendo and double entendre-isms!

Ooh this looks fun!

KAJ will never not be iconic. #Melfest

They're SO goddam cute. Truly the best thing to come out of Melfest in my lifetime.

What a cracking show in Stockholm tonight. It really is the gold standard in National Finals. Such efficiency and SVT really know how to make a great running order of songs. #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

Love Waste Your Love, love Sanna Nielson but her stylist needs to be fired! #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

It’s a bloody brilliant performance and the vocals are on point but I think My System is really ‘thin’ on the actual song. Wouldn’t be mad if it won but there are others I like more. #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

Yes! I said exactly the same thing and nobody else could see/hear it!

This is a good time for a pee break, should anyone be that way inclined #Melfest

Freddie Mercury/David Bowie/Elton John/ABBA is a heady cocktail that you would only see in Eurovision but you know what Greczula pulls it off! #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

We’d be pissed after 20 minutes! #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

So glad that Cimberley made it into the final. It’s a fab song and really well performed, she has a great voice. Hope we see her again ❤️ #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

Somebody has been playing too much Cyberpunk! It’s amazing how the lead singer makes that sound while barely opening his mouth! #Melodifestivalen #Melfest

Now this has grown on me massively but it ain’t gonna be the winner today! 😏 #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

We’re clearly not in on the appeal of #Delulu it’s catchy but the home crowd clearly love it. #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

The girls, gays and theys are being fed early tonight, I see.

#Melfest #Melodifestivalen

Who cares if the vocals are a tad dodgy, it’s got a key change! What a performance from Meira! #Melfest

Key change! #DoosetDaram #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

No worries! Enjoy the show!

Great handography from the #A*Teens Steps would be proud! But what a way to kick off the show. Such a good song and great performance. #Melfest #Melodifestivalen

Loving the Melfest equivalent of the flag parade. But why do the English language commentators keep turning into Davros? #Melodifestivalen

Of course. You can watch it on SVTPlay which is the equivalent of BBC iPlayer. There’s even an English language commentary for the grand final this evening. Starts at 7pm UK time.

Stockholm we are ready for you! #Melodifestivalen

One of the *best* things about hotel rooms!

There’ll be a very familiar name there for gays and gals of a certain age who loved their 90s/00s cheesy pop! #Melodifestivalen #A*Teens
