Folks, I’ve made an #unboxing video!

In the box? Was the newly released Blu-ray #boxset of #classic #DoctorWho’s seventh season.
I’ll encourage younger fans to watch the season: as it’s very different.

For more information on the complete technological dead end that was the BBC's 3D TV week, here's the Tomorrow's World feature on how it worked. Basically it was 3D, as long as people wandered around in circles.

A fabulous photo to start Monday - Richard Briers presenting the prize in a fancy dress competition to a child dressed as The Yellow Pages.
This 3 year old was no fool as presumably he knew Briers was at that point the voice of Busby in the British Telecom ads.
"He not only handed prizes to the winners at Milton-under-Wychwood but gave £1 notes from his own pocket to others he thought deserved recognition."

Play for Today episode 3.1, "The Reporters" (1972)
A dull tale of regional newspaper reporters - an ambitious young upstart (Michael Kitchen) & a former national journalist on the way down (Robert Urquhart).
Not much happens. Kitchen is torn between his ambitions and his relationship with his girlfriend (Juliet Bravo) but doesn't give her much thought when the Express offers him a job.
The highlight is Michael Kitchen's astonishing bouffant hairdo.
