TV Show: ‘Here’s this Swedish dude speaking English with an accent’
Us: ‘Hmm, he sounds Finnish’

He *is* Finnish. Max Bremer. Starred in the 2022 BBC #CountMagnus#AGhostStoryForChristmas.

Very creepy, we loved it! #aghoststoryforchristmas

Strangers in Space

Broader and deeper than Doctor Who... Back in the early months of 2012 we started life as the Blue Box Podcast, a small team of three (then four, then five...) people podcasting our thoughts on Doctor Who, in the classic style of a bunch of friends the microphones were just accidentally eavesdropping on during a conversation in the pub. Over a decade later, the team has expanded and so has the remit; nowadays we publish episodes approximately three times a week, and the discussion has moved on to include any number of subjects that Doctor Who fans might find themselves chatting about during the aforementioned informal gatherings. So alongside our main subject, you'll find us talking about films, and music, and politics, and other TV programmes, and more besides - and occasionally talking to special guests about their interests too. But of course, plenty of Doctor Who. Links page: https://strangersinspace.weebly.com/links.html Where to find the hosts: https://strangersinspace.weebly.com/the-team.html

I'd never watched it before because I really don't rate Mark Gatiss as a writer, and I'm sorry to say that my prejudice has only been reinforced by this viewing.

It's not *bad*— but it's that same old bland, uninspiring, Gatiss formula. His #doctorwho episodes were always the pits imo. There's more to good writing than making the dialogue sound like an old movie!

If someone had, let’s say, watched all of the A Ghost Story for Christmas installments, including this year’s, and was looking for more of the same, particularly with that ‘70s BBC feel, what if anything would you recommend in a similar vein? #AGhostStoryForChristmas
Totally loved #MarkGatiss' #AGhostStoryForChristmas. I love #MRJames stories, too. The Mezzotint was my favourite 🖤
@vivdunstan @Spulzie The Signalman is my favourite of the classic episodes. The electronic score really sells the eeriness of the story. Martin’s Close so far I think is my favourite of the modern era, but dang it, I love them all. #aghoststoryforchristmas
