Jonathan Baxter pulled together these brilliant infographs comparing Thunderbirds launch sequences and tracking down which filming models appeared in which episodes.
27 years ago today, my friend Neil and I visited a film collector to follow up a rumour that he possibly had a lost episode of Doctor Who. The rest is history.

New blog post coming up later, where I detail the fifty TV shows broadcast most often in 2025. But also details of which films and TV shows have been shown on the most channels this year. QUIZ TIME: In 2025, NINE films have been shown on four different main channels - can you work out what they are?
Probably the most ambitious alt effect in the entire classic series of Doctor Who, The Myrka, here to completely change the tone of parts 2 and 3 of Warriors of the Deep.
Brought to life as both a puppet and a cg scan of the puppet designed by Chris Stevens.
A special one for Doctor Who Day: a great long post on the novelisation of one of the best stories ever, Genesis of the Daleks: 0tralala.blogspot.com/2025/11/doct... #books #booksky #doctorwho
Network DVD and Blu-rays are available again via Future Network/Quoit Media futurenetwork.wales?v=7885444af42e Liquidated stock apparently. Now I can finally buy Bottoms Up! on blu-ray and never watch it.
Just seen a listicle saying that Frasier was consistently brilliant. Now, I love Frasier, but by gollly there were some dark days in seasons 7-10. Gertrude Moon. Simon Moon. Donny Douglas not knowing when to fuck off. Kirby.
Such a worthy cause; preserving our shared cultural heritage.
Very happily donated, keep up the fabulous work ☺️☺️
Decades before Doctor Who the After Party tried a disastrous round the world live link up, the cast of Allo Allo were doing it for Children in Need in 1988. With similar results!
Delegates from the Daleks’ Masterplan
Trump and the King etc.
So many “if only’s”.
My one wish is TPTB had put researchers on the ground in foreign broadcasting countries in the 80s and 90s and not just rely on them simply saying they had nothing.
I should have said “unlikely to be uncut! 😏
I wonder if the damage to Airlock was deliberate to remove BBC copyrights (I’ve heard this suggested before)!
Obviously it’s a hypothetical but I’m pretty sure that any recovery of The Exploding Planet would almost certainly have the cliffhanger cut 😑
Stands to reason it would be The Space Pirates and the completely missing S3 episodes.
My personal choice would be Masterplan 11 so we can see just which delegates were locked up!
Doing gods work as usual. 😎
I’d love that, but Patsy is pure Gollum. 😆
Every Sunday I would go to a car boot with my grandparents, it was the highlight of my week as a 9 year old, despite the early start.
Immediately as we got there my nan heard the news of the death on the radio and was in such utter shock that she made us all go home so she could watch the news! 🫣
I’ve only ever written one fan letter in my life… to my favourite British actor Bernard Hepton.
This is his response from 2013.
❤️
I meant more that I was missing an in joke or something! It was just so bizarre!
So Scalped - I loved it! Particularly all the bald headed men😆 I feel like I was missing something in regard to Richard O’Callaghans performance though…?!🫣🤭
I’ll happily talk to anyone about CC! In fact I need more friends who appreciate it! 😆
Btw did you watch the Scalped episode?
I’m loving his work and have donated but he needs a thicker skin really. Life’s too short, as he knows :(
And potentially one episode away from a complete 60s season!
I think it’s highly likely to be from either Reign or the Crusade (possibly Toymaker)!
The 2 known episodes in private hands are both Hartnells and from different stories.
Full ‘75 returns list for reference.
Galaxy 4 was part of the 75 returns list….
