Dear God. Can we ever break free of this tyrannical misery. Is anyone in America willing to stand up to him. Or is the world forever bound to this corruption. It makes me sick.
Today would have been my beautiful mothers 94th birthday. If only she hadn't died, seven years ago.
Saturday August 1st. BRIGHTON PRIDE celebrates the glorious nights at Heaven in the 1980s with joyous memories of the best music ever played anywhere in the world. A celebration of both Heaven and the Saint. SO HEAVENLY
I am so sick and tired of every single day bring us a new drama to worry about. He never stops. He never ceases. It is relentless and it is so tiring. He starts the war again with Iran. He wants Greenland. He's fallen out with Belgium. He's falling out with spain. He's fallen out with Italy. ENOUGH.
I want to see RUARI O'CONNOR as Doctor Who. It would indeed be a true return to a golden age. I pray that it happens.
MARCO POLO - EPISODE ONE - THE ROOF OF THE WORLD - now totally redone for the third time. Two years ago I was very happy with our Marco Polo. It was the best we could get at that time. But now look at this-it makes the other version pale into insignificance. I've never been so pleased with anything
THE DALEKS MASTER PLAN - EPISODE EIGHT- VOLCANO - Completely redone from scratch My absolute number one all-time favourite Doctor Who story. So therefore it was the very first one we attempted to bring back to life two years ago. Because it was our very first attempt, naturally it would be flawed.
If you love Northern Soul, or Disco, or any of the music I have ever made, then I want you to subscribe to my YouTube channel. We have almost 1000 free videos, rising all the time. It's totally free, no catch whatsoever. I need you to help me get it to 50,000 subscribers. www.youtube.com/@IanLevine
I wish there was some way of letting all of my original heaven crowd from the nineteen eighties to know about this. A lot of people are going to miss out simply because we can't reach them.
THE CELESTIAL TOYMAKER - EPISODE TWO - THE HALL OF DOLLS - Total Complete Remake Two years ago when I remade the Celestial Toymaker, I did so because I was enraged at the shitty quality of the animated version which looked like a cross between a bad video game and the magic roundabout
Can any of you on here help me find out if Susan Wells is still alive. She was the sister of James Wells and lived in Chicago and I recorded her in 1979, 1984 and 1987..
THE DALEKS MASTER PLAN - EPISODE SIX - CORONAS OF THE SUN - Remade From Scratch. My absolute number one all-time favourite Doctor Who story. So therefore naturally it was the very first one we attempted to bring back to life a full two years ago now. We are remaking it for the third time now.
"There will always be 95 missing episodes... unless you watch my reconstructions!"
Obviously I'm thrilled that part one and three of my all-time favourite Doctor Who story have successfully been returned. If this had happened three years ago, I would've not been able to sleep from excitement. But now I feel ambivalent. These two particular episodes, I have now done 3 times each.
THE EIGHT DOCTORS - PART EIGHT There is a very interesting story behind this one. My old friend Tony Greenwood who was the head of BBC Worldwide, was the man who originally found the budget for Lost In The Dark Dimension. When that was cancelled, he went to America, to visit the set of SeaQuest
SUMMIT TWENTY EIGHT - EPISODE ONE At long long last I'm able to bring you episode one of our 8 episode masterpiece. An awful lot of blood sweat and tears has gone into bringing you this one, and I hope you all appreciate it. This story goes back to when I had dinner with Barry Letts in the 1970s
SHADA - PART SIX At long last Shada is totally finished. It has been three months since I gave you Shada part five. Quite simply this has been the most expensive project that I've ever done in my entire life. It started almost 15 years ago but now I decided to make sure it looks properly real.
I'm completely torn up inside over the death of my dear lifelong friend Simon Harris. I have always called him "my little bubbela". He sent me a message last week saying your little bubbela is very sick with advanced leukaemia. Even so I didn't expect him to leave us this quickly and I am devastated
My very first high energy spot for 25 years. The last one was the Heaven Anniversary in 2000.
