What’s cooking in Morten Harwood?

Juno Baker, resident of Morten Harwood in TV’s “K9 and Company”. A glamorous woman of a certain age on the telephone, not acting suspicious at all. Oh no.

Come the bear will not eat us. Such things only happen in the theatre.

No, that’s too on the nose.

I’m building a team.

Paddington Bear, psychopomp, reaches for a marmalade sandwich.

Bagpus, saggy old cloth cat, supported by Professor Waffle, Madeleine the Rag Doll, Gabriel the Toad, and the Mice from the Mouse Organ.

The Clangers, inhabitants of a small blue planet.

If you see this, you might wish to post a picture of you in glasses. 🤓

What a lovely day on the Internet meme:
Top frame: a dog looks at a screen and the caption reads “what a lovely day on the internet”
Bottom frame: the dog stares out at us and the caption reads “good lord!”

So, the government’s new transphobic guidance to the Equality Act say “gender recognition is a protected characteristic” And then proceeds to misgender trans people throughout.

Embrace destiny. This is me in a “dad hat”. Happy Semi-Anniversary, beloved @alexwilcock.bsky.social 💛

Me, a white man with a mostly white beard, wearing my new hat - that Redbubble calls a “dad hat” - a white cap with black silhouettes of the Doctors Who. The Millennium Dome (big tent) is across the river in the background.

The first four Doctor Who VHS tapes I owned. Maybe.

Doctor Who: The Five Doctors VHS release (July 1990)
The faces of Jon Pertwee (third Doctor, top left), Patrick Troughton (second Doctor, top right), Richard Hurndel (recast first Doctor, bottom right) and Peter Davison (incumbent fifth Doctor, bottom left), around a black obelisk containing the black and white image of Tom Baker(fourth Doctor, only appearing in excerpts from the list story Shada)

Doctor Who: the Three Doctors VHS release (August 1991)
The faces of Patrick Troughton (second Doctor, left), Jon Pertwee (incumbent third Doctor, centre) and William Hartnell (first Doctor, right) merged into one another above the figure of a giant in angular bronze armour: Omega, first of the Time Lords(Stephen Thorne).
In the background, a black hole from which a super luminescent ray emerges.

Doctor Who: The Dalek Invasion of Earth VHS release (May 1990, two cassettes!)
On the left, a silver Dalek with blue hemisphere bumps, and a large black fender in front of the clock tower of the Houses of Parliament (aka Big Ben, renamed The Elizabeth Tower in 2012 for HM Queen Elizabeth II’s jubilee)
On the right, the face of William Hartnell (the first Doctor) above the face of Susan, his granddaughter (Carol Anne Ford, in SPOILER her last regular appearance)

Doctor Who: The Curse of Fenric, special edition VHS release (February 1991)
Over a chessboard background,the Sylvester McCoy (seventh Doctor, left) in brown jacket, paisley tie and straw hat; Sophie Aldred (Ace, lower front and centre), in grey nineteen -forties dress and knitted red hairnet; and the Ancient Haemovore (Iniga, top centre), a blue, barnacle covered leech-like humanoid with an insatiable hunger for blood.
To the right, the fortress-like tower of local church St Judes, and a signpost points towards Maidens Point.

We’re starting March with a visit to Paradise Towers. A dilapidated 21st Century tower block, home to the elderly rezzies and fierce kangs, who’ve all been abandoned when everyone else had to go and fight a war. Was expecting some funny old Doctor Who, not a contemporary documentary

Mel (Bonnie Langford) takes tea and cake with Rezzies Tilda and Tabby. Everything is lovely.

If you see this, post a dragon.

Chorlton the Happiness Dragon from “Chorlton and the Wheelies”, being happy.

No new pictures. Where are you mentally?

The cold open of Doctor Who “The Unquiet Dead” sees the cadaver of Mrs Peace possessed by an alien that lives in gas. She is pale white but surrounded by a supernatural blue glow (in fact the escaping gas) and issues a rising moan as she leaves a Victorian mortuary in Cardiff. I know how she feels.

Winter Lights … the Return!

We’re out for a birthday treat: Canary Wharf and the annual Winter Lights Festival. And very best duck at the end. Happy Birthday me!

So, we have a Party food invented at Cranleigh Hall; a veterinarian hospital procedure perfected by Dr Bob and nurse Piggy; or a wicker basket from Joanna Lumley…

And a very happy Morbuary to all of you at home.

Tonight is Christmas, and what could be more traditional than a Dickens triple bill: Doctor Who: The Unquiet Dead The Avengers: Too Many Christmas Trees The Muppets Christmas Carol. Humbug, anyone?

Steed and Mrs Peel share a Dickensian Christmas (dressed as Sydney Carton and Oliver Twist respectively) in Too Many Christmas Trees. It just popped into my head.

Movie poster for the Muppets Christmas Carol. In the sky over olde London Town appear: Miss Piggy (in bonnet) and Kermit the Frog (in scarf and top hat) as the Cratchits (with Tiny Tim), Fozzie Bear (appropriately in a white lawyer’s wig) as Mr Fozziwig, and Gonzo as a weird blue Charles Dickens, assisted by Rizzo the Rat.
And below them in the snow-covered street, Michael Caine as Ebenezer “there goes Mr Humbug” Scrooge, in black coat and cape and cane, with grey scarf flying in the wind.
God bless them, every one.

Richard Flowers@richarddominic· Dec 25

Wishing you all a very Messy Christmas and a Hoppy New Year. (It’s freezing 🥶 out here!)

So cool!

What I post from

Blofeld’s hollowed out volcano lair, from the James Bond film “You Only Live Twice”: a large cavern inside the cone of a volcano, a rocket ready to launch and a helicopter coming in through the open crater, and monorail running round the back. Men in uniform are watching from below, and look tiny to give a sense of the enormous scale.

Designed by Ken Adam. Alleged to have cost $1,000,000.
