@thatmarkgilroy If you are referring to the #geektree I've been gifted Hallmark geek ornaments for decades. Eventually it overtook an entire tree.

It’s been… a lot longer than I’d care to admit since I was last in behind a radio mic. But for the purposes of our current show? That’s where you’ll find me.
I’ll be playing Grant Mazzy in the stage version of Tony Burgess’ Pontypool, at the Loft Theatre Studio in Leamington Spa, between April 21st and 25th, directed by Hannah Brown.
A dark and claustrophobic horror tale, set in a remote Ontario town. This clever and disturbing play features a cast of 4 live performers, and a host of others providing voices, prerecorded interviews, jingles and more. It’s a show we’ve wanted to put on for a long time, and have followed on stage, screen and in other mediums.
It’s a limited run, and we can only take 50 people a night. So if you’re interested in something a little different to brighten (darken?) up your April? Check out the link below and book your ticket.

Growing up we were always a Cadbury’s family. My grandfather worked over at the factory in Bournville, we had access to the factory store.
Easter eggs as a kid inevitably came primarily from them.
I don’t eat a *huge* amount of chocolate today for comparison, but was Cadbury’s chocolate *always* this sweet?
Seriously. I’ve got a Cadbury’s Easter Egg here. (I remember these coming in two halves as a kid, not melded together as a single shape, but, whatever). Approaching this as an adult, the overwhelming flavour I’m getting here is not chocolate.
It’s just sugar. An aftertaste of sugar.
Was this always the case?
Has my sense of taste just *changed* over the years?
Has the general recipe of Cadbury’s chocolate changed?
I don’t know. But this is disappointing sickly.

Not saying that my brain is struggling to function in the current UK heat?
But I just tried to articulate to my wife that we needed to chill more water in the fridge, and the only words my brain could offer for fridge were ‘Cold Jacuzzi’. That’s so wrong on many levels.
Send Ice.

Well, quite enjoyed Doctor Who.
Not exactly subtle in some of its messaging. But I enjoyed it.
Also interested in seeing more of this Doctor and companion pairing.
Here’s hoping for good things. Glad to see it back.

Happy #WorldTheatreDay , folks.
Theatre is a medium which is bespoke. Live performance in front of a live audience. A synergy between both points, the one driving the energy of the other.
It’s also one of the longest surviving forms of art we have. It’s irreplaceable and deserves your support.

Two of Netflix’ current Top 10 TV Programmes in the UK Today are two separate ‘Fireplace for your Home’ screensaver videos.
Welcome to #ChristmasWeek , folks. Buckle up, put your feet up next to the (fake) fire.

Oh, man. Terrible news.
But even more so when you see a headline like this.
I love Star Wars. It was without quest the first movie property I connected with as a kid. I continue to follow that franchise.
But James Earl Jones was so much more than *just* the voice of Darth Vader. A range of other roles which won him Tony Awards, Emmys, Grammys. Warmth , charm, and gravitas.
This headline is lazy. Give this man his due, please.

For those of us who have been following this one for the last few years, Celebrity Number Six has been found. #InternetMystery #TipOfMyTongue https://mastodon.social/@404mediaco/113108352802071921

Genuinely have been enjoying it this season, though. It frustrates me that there are so few episodes but there have been a couple of genuinely strong and memorable episodes.
-
My major complaint about the Disney era of Doctor Who is not about the show (largely loving that).
It’s the content creator arms race, trying to get out reviews and think pieces for episodes the better part of a day before the UK broadcast happens.
-
Articulated here by the culture section of The Independent, a surprisingly accurate take on something that has been frustrating me also of late.
Where are the voices from regular people in journalism, broadcasting and media in general? Disappearing further and further, while we stick heirs and heiresses on presenting and reporting duties.

Really sad to hear the news that Dave Myers (one half of TV’s Hairy Bikers food tours team) has passed away.
Always came across on screen as a genuinely likeable down-to-earth bloke, and the shows he and Si King put together were something a bit special.
They had a way of making the viewer feel like being invited along on the journey. A friendly and welcoming style so many in this genre don’t.
He will be missed.

For those disappointed by their missing out on the #WillyWonkaExperience
in Glasgow, it looks like somebody has reproduced it in another environment.https://www.eurogamer.net/glasgows-infamous-willy-wonka-experience-lives-on-through-the-sims-4

The more I hear about this the wilder it gets.
The Willy Wonka Experience. A kids event with AI Art, an AI generated script, and production quality which give off serious DashCon vibes. Although at least in this case people got their money back.
The guy tasked with playing Wonka has been interviewed by The Independent.

Well this is sad news. Artist, writer and editor Paul Neary has passed away. I don’t think it can be understated how actively involved Neary was with shaping the careers of many people involved in British comics. Editor-in-Chief at Marvel UK during the expansion of the early 90s, and an artist in his own right. A definite loss.

Happy New Year, all.
No predictions. No promises. No resolutions.
Let’s just not be dicks to one another, yeah? That’d make a massive difference.
