Doctor RooFive is 75 today…
Happy birthday to Peter Davison, the Fifth Doctor.
Here he is being profiled in Buddy comic back in 1982.
@IanAMartin LOL, yes.
I’ve heard the spaceship referred to as both Icarus and Liberty 1, though neither name is actually used in the film itself. Icarus seems to be a fan invention, while Liberty 1 turned up in a special feature on the 2008 Blu-ray box set.
Liberty 1 has a certain irony given the film’s ending, but I can just as easily imagine the ever-cynical Taylor nicknaming his ship Icarus.
Good luck to the Artemis II crew.

The Time Tunnel Annual, of course, featured the obligatory reprint of a Gold Key comic.

I’m always posting anniversaries and birthdays, but some are a little more special to me than others. Case in point…
Happy 81st birthday to Heather Young, aka ‘Spindrift’ stewardess Betty Hamilton from Land of the Giants — one of my earliest crushes.

From superhero to supercar, happy birthday to Captain Nice and the voice of KITT in Knight Rider, William Daniels, who turns 99 today.

A nice find while out toy hunting yesterday. Rather appropriate, too, as it coincided with Leonard Nimoy’s birthday.
The Three Spocktors.

I can’t let the day end without remembering Leonard Nimoy on what would have been his 95th birthday.
Actually, it’s been a bit of a Spocky day today, but it’s late, I’m old and I’m tired, so I’ll tell you about it tomorrow (it’s nothing exciting – don’t let it keep you awake). But, yeah… a little bit Spocky-wocky.
