Can you believe that Tom Baker is 79! That’s amazing, completely amazing. I was just listening to him today, talking at the end of the latest Big Finish CD. He doesn’t sound 79 at all.
I hope he keeps on doing lots more audio stories.

Dr Who, The Auntie Matter
This arrived today, and whilst I’m looking forward to listening to it I also find it sad to think that Mary Tamm isn’t with us any longer. She was fantastic as Romana. A great Dr Who companion.
U.F.O.
Still watching this and realising that it’s excellent stuff. The stories are of a really high quality.
The Android Invasion
This is a great Tom Baker story, and one that I needed to add to my collection. It’s part of a two story boxed set called “The Unit Files” as both of the stories feature UNIT quiet heavily. Great stuff though.
I so enjoy these earlier stories. They take their time to unfold and get going and there is much more emphasis on the science fiction.
Well worth a watch if you get the chance.
UFO
I got the boxed set of UFO (from the 70’s) for Christmas, and I started watching them tonight, but I wasn’t ready for just how 1970’s they’d be! Of course, you can’t judge a 1970’s production by today’s standards in anyway at all, it just isn’t fair, but it makes you realise what we take for granted in so many aspects of television.
Anyway, it’s a great show, and I love the theme tune too. As I watch them I’ll probably comment some more about the show. In fact, I probably won’t be able to help myself!
Doctor Who, the Army of Death
I’ve just finished listening to this McGann story. It’s actually a very good one, and Mary Shelley as a companion is still working well too.
Finished reading “Music in Dreamland”
I’ve never been much of a reader of biographies, but this one really got my attention. Having been a long time fan of Bill Nelson I did know a lot about him and his music, but the book brought it to life (of course he’s still alive so it would).
It was well worth the read and I might even buy his other book.
It’s given me a taste for reading other biographies too, which is handy as I have a real backlog of books to read.
Getting ready for some Raspberry Pi geekery
Looking forward to getting this moving, other projects permitting of course.
Checking through the Wire’s top albums of 2012
This is an annual event where I see just how many albums out of the Wire’s top 50 I have bought or have listened to. I’ve not done too badly at all this year so far, and for the first time I’ve got the no.1 album in the Wire top 50 already! It’s Laurel Halo’s Quarantine, and it is a great album, of that there’s no doubt.
So overall I’ve not done too bad for 2012.
