Anniversaries pass me by at an alarming rate now. I suspect it's something to do with getting old. I much preferred it when my favourite TV series and movies were celebrating their 10th anniversaries!
Back when Star Trek celebrated its 20th, that felt like an enormous stretch of time. And now here we are at the 60th... goodness, where did the time go?

Two things that sci-fi fans of my vintage used to do that are now obsolete. One was holding a microphone up to the television's speaker to record an episode of Doctor Who or Star Trek. The other was taking photographs of the telly.

A very happy 91st birthday to Lee Meriwether!
Lovely Lee has appeared in many of my favourite TV series and films, including, of course, Star Trek and Batman (as far as I’m concerned, she is still the best movie Catwoman). But it was when Lee played Dr Ann MacGregor on The Time Tunnel that a very young Roo first lost his heart to her.
All my very best wishes to a very special lady.

Speaking of #LizardPeople. Look what I found!

Jules Lermina’s Panic in Paris was published in 1913. It’s a French scientific romance.
Translator Brian Stableford describes it as being closer in feel to 1950s Japanese monster movies than to the more sober scientific romances of Lermina’s contemporaries. In fact it's a madcap tongue-in-cheek romp. There are even dinosaurs in 19th century Paris.

News from the Moon, edited by Brian Stableford, a collection of nine French 19th century “proto-science fiction tales”. Many won’t fit most people’s ideas of what constitutes scifi but that’s Stableford’s point - there was a distinctive school of French speculative fiction at that time that differed from the contemporary scientific romances of British authors.
The stories are unconventional but stimulating.
