Looking forward to the Flux Doctor Who convention in Birmingham next weekend.

Queering Dallas it is!

I have 2 options for my 2nd article of 2026. One is to write on Crown Court and Doctor Who. But the other which I have my heart set on is 'Queering Dallas'. However, this may have to be accessed solely via my website and academia.edu page since I don't know where else to place it. I'll think it over

Glad you enjoyed it, Martin! Always nice to get positive feedback.

This week I start researching Crown Court. No idea how long it will take to get this article done.

Waiting for my Midsomer Murders article to go up.

Really looking forward to the Warriors of the Deep Special Edition based on the reviews it's got from folks who went to the BFI preview.

Don't worry. Probably just an off day. We all have them. You are a great scholar!

Decided not to go to Egham. Will send my Midsomer Murders article off at the beginning of next week. Start my Crown Court article next week. London tomorrow!

EastEnders set for bisexual love triangle in steamy new storyline EastEnders fans should prepare for "one of the hottest love triangles" in soap history if reports about an upcoming bisexual plot are true.

Many thanks for your interest. I'll send you the link when it goes up in March.

Decided against doing the Blake's 7 article as it won't work. My second article this year will be on Crown Court which I'll get down to in April.

Tomorrow I shall get down to doing some research for my next article. This one's on Blake's 7.

Curse of Peladon is brilliant

Just watched Star One - brilliant, but I wish they had continued with the battle for longer in Series 3.

Waiting for the Heartstopper Netflix film and see which university Nick Nelson will end up at, whether there will be filming at Royal Holloway and whether an LGBTQ+ society will be represented. #heartstopper

Finished my Midsomer Murders article until my trip to Royal Holloway at the beginning of March when the weather will hopefully be warmer. It will then take an hour or so to polish off the piece and then it can go off for publication.

Over the past few weeks I've been making my way through Blake's 7 Series 2 and tomorrow it's Star One - an absolutely brilliant episode!

Also pixcellation in the opening titles to Blake's 7 and the word ELIMINATE under image of Blake gives the feeling of a video game aesthetic

Of course, Blake's 7 draws on Star Wars which can also be compared with video games

Gradually making my way through Blake's 7 Series 2. Just watched Hostage and it occurs to me that an interesting comparison can be made between Blake's 7 and video games like Space Invaders. Near the start of Hostage Federation Pursuit Ships advance on the Liberator and a countdown appears on screen

IT’S A SIN in neon pink as the young friends of the Pink Palace laugh together

OTD 2021: It’s a Sin
Russell T Davies went right to my heart again.
I gasped even at the opening condom choice.
And though many things had changed when I came into my gay life a decade later, all the sex the first episode was illegal on at least two counts. It still was for teen me then.

My Midsomer Murders article is coming along nicely.
