So I bought this on offer from Big Finish. It was really good. Two hours of great little stories from the 1st 8 doctors. Very enjoyable indeed. Nice bite sized stories that work very well on their own.

A belated happy birthday to Peter Davidson
A happy birthday to the 5th Doctor. I think he was a very good Doctor actually, and whilst I didn’t watch all of his episodes, I’ve very much enjoyed his stuff on Big Finish, so it was very nice of them to put some of his stuff on sale for the weekend, and I picked up a few new stories.

A beautiful album and beautiful music.
Torchwood, Zone 10
The latest in season two. I’m looking forward to listing to this one later on today.
New stuff on bandcamp
Just to let you know that I’ve got some new stuff on bandcamp now. You can find it here. It’s the soundtrack to a show that I worked on. It was a children’s production of the Jungle Book (the Kipling version not the Disney version) and I wrote some pieces for it. I thought you might be interested.

I do love how twitter can get you answers so quickly. This is of course excellent news.
And new things coming from Mr Arthur then!
It’s good to hear that Neil Arthur is doing even more music. Hot on the heals of the latest Blancmange album ‘Commuter 23’ (I’m still listening to it and thinking about how I feel about it), he’s into a new musical exploit called ‘Near Future’. I just missed out on getting a signed CD of their first single, which was annoying. Never mind. I’ll have to wait for it to come out later in the month.
And another thing, what’s happening with the next Heaven 17 album?
I’m sure that this was coming a while back now. As far as I can remember they mentioned it at one of their live shows ages ago. When I say ages I mean over a year ago. Even so, I’m sure it was coming out soon and I’ve heard nothing about it since, which is a shame really as the one or two tracks they played at that gig sounded really promising.
Whatever happened to Ian Craig Marsh?
I’ve been a fan of Heaven 17 for years and years, and I’ve really enjoyed their recent shows but it does make me think of a few things, one of which is, whatever happened to Ian Craig Marsh? He was a big part of Heaven 17 and of course The Human League before that, but now, according to Wikipedia, he’s a music teacher. No more information than that.
That’s fine, but a shame for fans on H17.
