Bad news: the BBC is set to scrap Radio 4 Extra. 📻 Losing this treasure trove of classic comedy, archive drama, and timeless storytelling would be a huge blow for millions of us.

Radio Times Editor Shem Law says BBC Radio 4 Extra is living proof that great broadcasting does not acquire a sell-by date – and we'll be losing more than just a radio station when it's turned off.

Do watch this if you can. In the next few days, there's going to be an episode of Smershpod with @TobyHadoke available.
And it's a good episode.

We are all saddened by the announcement that @R4Extra is scheduled for closure. Not only has the channel been the ideal outlet for the many programmes we have recovered, the staff have always been very encouraging, helpful, and, most importantly, have promoted what we do. (1/3)

Foolish decision, but at least I have my collection of Hancock, Goons, and ISIRTA mp3s from back when the "listen again" version of R4X shows included bits of continuity from the likes of @TobyHadoke @officialnhaynes and this Butters person.

Very excited about @TobyHadoke’s Quatermass book. The 1st one was remarkable. This evening I’ve watched the existing two episodes of Experiment & am now re listening to Toby’s excellent Happy Times and Places commentary on them. Superb and recommended. Go listen!

au.rollingstone.com/movies/m… RIP Richard Riehle. You might not have known his name, but you certainly knew his face. Brilliant in Office Space, Casino, Bridesmaids and so much more. Over 400 film and TV credits, and he made everything he appeared in better.

On Sundays I observe Quatermass: on 1st Nov I will be introducing a thrilling double bill of Quatermass and the Pit (film) and Lifeforce at HOME, Mcr. Big trouble & frenzied destruction in London: sci-fi horror-tastic.
Tickets selling fast!

News via her friend Hattie Hayridge that the actress Gilly Brown, Ohica in The Brain of Morbius, has died. RIP Gilly : she was a lot of fun by all accounts.

Please come & see Maria at @53two between 2-11th Sept. I’m in it alongside a terrific cast. It’s a fascinating, strange, atmospheric & very human play about resilience, empathy, and isolation : compelling, fast-moving & very striking, its worth a look:

Thrilled to bits to have been invited over for one more trip to Gallifrey. It’s such a brilliant event - I mean, it’s an institution - and I really like hanging out with US fans and all the brilliant people who make the convention happen. See you there!
