Who would have thought in 1966 when TV: The Celestial Toymaker came out that people would someday write extremely erotic, kinky Doctor/Toymaker fanfiction? Would they be clutching their pearls? Would they be into it?

Did anyone look at this and go

Them ❤️

I'm too grown-up and crabby to imprint on the movie at this late date. But I can easily see how Hiro falling apart piece by piece as he runs from Spencer must have been a formative experience for many of you! That was wild. I was really kinda freaked out.

#i knew perfectly well he'd be all right but. like.#what a visual!#what a dose of classic 'train body horror'!#there are like three times in the entire tvs where for a glorious fleeting second you get 'blockbuster action flick' vibes #this was one of them #ttte specials #hero of the rails

I've been watching a lot of the classic holiday specials of late, like the various Peanuts/Charlie Brown shows, Garfield, A Wish for Wings that Work, etc., and got the idea in my head to mock up what a "Finding Dee" version of one of those classic cartoons might look like. I put a lot of work into trying to replicate a little of the line style of vintage cel art and mocked up an old TV as a frame. I am unusually happy with how this came out, honestly, and now wish that there really WAS an animated cartoon to go with this one image.

The rotation of Christmas music that plays in the store I work at includes the following:

Any version of “Last Christmas” you could think of and then some, EXCEPT Wham’s

Various people trying to come up with weird new verses to “Jingle Bells”

Joey Ramone’s cover of “What a Wonderful World”

This one cover of “Do You Want To Build a Snowman” that’s sung in like. That specific really breathy way that pop singers do Christmas songs sometimes y’know?

The song from the Victorious Christmas episode

Three songs from the Phineas and Ferb Christmas special

“I Have a Dream” by ABBA except not the ABBA version

- DO YOU REMEMBER THE 25TH NIGHT OF DECEMBER

#there’s also a kind of bizarre country duet cover of let it go #but that one’s in the Normal Everyday music rotation #which is more forgivable to me tbh bc i don’t get people trying to push frozen as a christmassy movie #it is SUMMER in frozen. it being snowy and shit is ACTIVELY A PROBLEM #there’s a couple other pop versions of Disney songs in the normal mix too #anyway #i THINK they might have played hallelujah last year a couple times but I haven’t heard it this year so that’s a win lmao #they also start playing the xmas music literally the day after halloween #but then also it stops the day after xmas instead of dragging into the first week of january or w/e #which I’m sure is a relief for most ppl #I’m the rare retail worker who doesn’t mind/actively enjoys hearing this much xmas music #but some of these choices … bizarre #it’s interesting working at like. a b- or c-list box store #bc I’m assuming it’s harder to get the rights or the budget for certain things the big Big stores do #so we get slightly-off parallel dimension shit like this lmao #inklings #christmas #i feel like the ‘they don’t know X’ meme of the guy at the party also bc I bet most normies don’t recognize the #2000s childrens tv special songs.#and just think it’s some pop bs that never became A Classic #if they’re not tuning it out completely #Christmas Is Starting Now is an absolute banger I’ll have you know.

Double Doctors! William Hartnell has a terrible time as wounded robber Jeff Richards, while Patrick Troughton is the unnamed (and uncredited!) tramp who finds Jeff's hiding place in Dial 999: 50,000 Hands (1.16, ABC, 1959)

#fave spotting #dial 999 #classic doctor who #william hartnell #patrick troughton #doctor who #classic tv #itc #1959 #or possibly '58; as I've said on the other Dial 999 posts‚ establishing a definitive transmission order is nearly impossible with tv from #this era. most sources agree this was the 16th episode shown‚ but a date isn't given anywhere but imdb‚ which provides only 1959 but has #dates scattered all over the place for other episodes in the show's run.#something of a fave spotting find‚ this! doctors one and two together in one episode of old tv‚ years before DW even existed #sadly the two‚ although technically in scenes together‚ never share the screen; in fact they never did‚ with Hartnell too ill to appear in #studio for DW tenth anniversary special The Three Doctors. he's in very fine form here tho‚ completely different to his other Dial 999 #appearance (1.1‚ where he was a dangerous gangland leader). here he's a slightly sorry crook who's accidentally shot himself in the guts #he spends most of the episode wracked with pain and i must say Bill's very convincing and quite sympathetic. of note‚ his decidedly less #likeable partner in crime is played by Bill Fraser‚ Hartnell's costar in The Army Game (the first series of which had recently finished #when Dial 999 began airing). presumably a conscious choice on the producer's part?#Pat meanwhile has only a brief appearance here‚ playing a character imdb inexplicably identity as 'Benny'; I'm almost completely certain #that name never appeared in the episode‚ as he's mostly referred to simply as 'a tramp'‚ and it certainly doesn't appear in the credits as #Pat isn't credited (not unusual in early ITC shows which tended to credit only five or six key performers in an episode)#he gets a little comic business to do as he tries to evade Bob Beatty's tireless cop‚ and delivers his few lines in a rural accent of #indeterminate origin. apologies that i can't provide better pictures but network's dvd release‚ while welcome‚ doesn't appear to have had #much in the way of restoration (and who knows in what condition these eps survive; if the original films are still held then they'd be #potentially able to get a full shiny hd resto‚ but it could always be that the archived eps are overseas tapes or other inferior copies #i just don't know tbh! there simply isn't a huge amount of info out there about this 65 year old obscure cop show! for shame everyone! /jk)

Do you love Twin Peaks and want a reason for a re-watch? How about a ton of historical context and behind the scenes info? Maybe a ton of deep theory from a wide swath of Twin Peaks thinkers over the years?

I may just have what you need; I’m going chronologically through Twin Peaks one installment at a time, and soon I’ll be releasing episodes covering the end of Season 2. It’d sure be nice to have you there with me.
