RIP the great Micheal Keating. The heart and soul of Blake's 7, he played cowardly con-man Vila Restal (my favourite character) with a beautifully world-weary charm, and perfect comic timing. He and Paul Darrow's Avon made one of the all-time great double acts.

The differences between SCIENCE NINJA TEAM GATCHAMAN (1972) and its child-friendly American version, BATTLE OF THE PLANETS (1978) are stark indeed. In this Gatchman scene, missing from BotP, team leader Ken gives a bad guy a good hiding. I counted eighteen punches. Eighteen!
STAR MAIDENS (1976): British-German 'battle of the sexes' disco sci-fi series starring Judy Geeson and Gareth Thomas. On Medusa, a planet ruled by women, two men escape to Earth... The German producers were making a sex comedy, while the Brits wanted serious sci-fi. The result is a glorious mess!
CREEPS! (1979) The game that strikes terror in the heart! Action GT's memory-based vampire-slaying board game saw players move their daggers round the board, hopefully memorising the 'deadly' spaces. First to race to the centre of the board kills the vampire and wins!
M*A*S*H: GOODBYE, FAREWELL AND AMEN (1983) The final episode of an incredible series which gradually transformed from black comedy to comedy drama. The enemy is near to Hawkeye's bus, but a Korean woman's squawking chicken might give them away. His PTSD is covering the truth, however...

DOOR CHAIN (1976): A PIF which dares to ask the question, 'did Aunt Annie or a Rasputin-looking axeman politely ring your doorbell?' This one was in rotation for so long that, for me, it's forever entwined with ITV Night Time shows of the late 80s and early 90s!
A little sneaky peek at the first Show and Tell video, an hour-long, page by page look at Usborne's classic 'Haunted Houses, Ghosts & Spectres' book!
EVE OF THE WAR (1978), the second single from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, is an absolute banger. But the video is on another level, perfectly capturing the terrifying mood of the album artwork. I've been saying this for decades: make a film of this version!
Enjoy this montage of televisual nuclear anxiety from the 1980s, soundtracked by The Dubliners' protest song 'Protect and Survive'. Special guest appearance by the Patron Saint of Nuclear War at the end, there. "'Ad it, inya?"
THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK (1972): Docudrama horror about the 'Fouke Monster' sighted in Arkansas, and tying into the Bigfoot-mania of the 1970s. Stern voiceovers abound!

At a StarTalk event long ago @neildegrassetyson.com said this as I sang my song Liberated Carbon with @drfunkyspoon.bsky.social: “50 years ago your counterparts were singing about Vietnam. Now we need a folk-song movement about carbon. It starts here!... Putting science in the rhyme.” Higher rez ⤵️

"If you can produce your own energy, you bring down your bill." Homegrown energy is the best way to insulate ourselves from global fossil fuel shocks, as has happened after the Iran conflict, says Electrify Britain CEO Camilla Born on GB News.

Great honk-n-wave in Albany, Oregon, today! However, only managed to video the west side of Ellsworth.
Trump just confused Iran for Venezuela. Venezuela still has a navy, an Air Force and intact leadership. The U.S. only removed Maduro. Trump was describing Iran but he called it Venezuela.
Trump calling himself the 'Father of Fertility' is disgusting, given the allegations in the Epstein files that he raped minors.

The folks at Fox News don't seem to know any conservatives in California. Jesse Watters' producers thought actors Scott Baio and Dean Cain were the perfect guests to talk about Spencer Pratt's campaign for Los Angeles mayor even though both men moved out of CA years ago.

On the House passing a War Powers resolution: "The Senate would have to formally take it up, but they have the votes to pass it as well. So essentially you have the Senate and the House rebuking Donald Trump in his unlawful and catastrophic war in Iran...."
