FRIDAY NIGHT and I spent it finishing off a writeup for a programme from 1958 so I can publish it at a specific time of day tomorrow in order to make some kind of point. #BBC100

Visited #BBC100 at National Museum Cardiff today. No mention of my time as script editor at BBC Wales Drama. Clearly an oversight.

Otherwise v good tbh #tv #film #drama

2022 was not a very productive year for me, but, in the light of a lot of talk about the Doctor Who centenary special, I enjoyed imagining what Doctor Who might have looked like in 1922, starring Eille Norwood (who, entirely coincidentally, was making a series of Sherlock Holmes films at the time).
Sadly, the BBC did not make the programme, on the flimsy grounds that TV did not yet exist.

As we near the end of the BBC's centenary year here's my nod to its rich radio heritage in 100 Years of BBC Radio in 100 Minutes, a mix of 682 audio clips, themes and jingle #BBC100 https://youtu.be/tvgpwlQlY_A

Polymer Picker v1.0 released. I'm happy enough with the game to consider it 'finished' It's taken me 15 months to get to this point, but well worth it πŸ˜€ I consider it a Christmas present to the BBC Micro and wider retrogame community. I hope you enjoy it!

v0.99 of Polymer Picker was released over the weekend. A Stardot community member 'hexwab' did some sterling work on improving the loading sequence, so you can play it more quickly than before.

I've added the option to view instructions now, to speed things up even more.

Further improvements are promised to give it some added polish.

The Stardot community are some of the finest people you'll find!
