Which means that I can finally get my year of to a proper start and discover something new to listen to, as I’m pretty bored with things at the moment.

BeatPad controlling the Shruthi-1
I’ve posted this over at PalmSounds but I really like this and it’s kind of a fun thing to be doing with old and new tech all in one place.
Pebble is shipping …
It’s great news. It couldn’t be soon enough. I know that they’ll take a while to get them out to everyone, and that I shouldn’t expect it too soon, but it’s exciting nonetheless. Of course, the one thing that is missing at the moment is the iPhone app on the app store.
I hope that it gets here before my pebble does.
Doctor Who and the invasion of the dinosaurs
I only got this because it was part of a boxed set with the Android Invasion. The special effects are very far from special, but the story was excellent. Sadly it makes me wonder about collecting Jon Pertwee stories now!
Happy birthday Mr Baker
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.
