Detective: The Hungry Spider (1.14, BBC, 1964)
"He'd been ill for some time, of course."
"And what wicked nonsense for people to say the things they are saying."
"What wicked things are they saying?"
"Oh, one really shouldn't repeat them, that's how these things get about."
"I should still like to know what they are."
"They say there should be a police enquiry."

You do NOT need to be in the UK to answer this either. Worked fine from mainland Europe.
Respond positively to this pro-trans schools policy for Wales
From my local WhatsApp group:
The Welsh Government are doing a consultation on its pro-trans schools policy. UK Gender Critical activists are upset and are trying to brigade it to push it in an anti-trans direction. Please fill out the consultation to try to reinforce the pro-trans stance. https://www.gov.wales/rights-respect-equality-anti-bullying-guidance
The deadline is 31 July 2025.
NB: Please only respond if you live in Wales! If you don't but want to help, please boost this and share it on other social networks. Thank you. ✨
#thanks for tag!#signal boost#boost#lgbtqia#teaching tag#gender identity#wales#cymru#not sure how else to tag?#not sure how effective my boost will be now that im (?) blurry (?) to some people (?)

so it seems I'm a pixelated blog now, which is fair enough - I was really pushing my luck, what with all the posting about *checks notes* 60s tv and cats. in tumblr's defence, most of those cats were naked.
having experienced the useless nature of tumblr's "support" before and heard enough horror stories about people's struggles to get themselves unflagged, i probably just won't bother. here's to the new normal. congratulations, world's least functional app, on yet another fuckup.
#im not saying im deleting or anything to be clear#but like. what's the point in using all that energy to try and reverse this#the majority of my posts come pre flagged now and i have to challenge each one#this is just the cherry on top#also the irony of this happening just as an old post of mine has got 2k notes in 48 hrs#did that make me more visible? me and my crimes of... whatever the fuck it is tumblr thinks im guilty of?

Patrick Troughton stars as Jeffery Farnol's Regency era hero, the Bow Street Runner Jasper Shrig, in Detective: The Loring Mystery (1.13, BBC, 1964)
#fave spotting#patrick troughton#doctor who#classic doctor who#two#detective#the loring mystery#bbc#1964#again not the best pics im afraid but these eps just randomly rocking up on yt has been a minor miracle#Farnol was‚ with Georgette Heyer‚ one of the driving forces behind the Regency romance genre of novels which exploded in popularity in the#early mid 20th century. Shrig was clearly a favourite of his creations and one he revisited multiple times‚ writing 10 novels featuring#the character between 1913 and the author's death in 1952. i get the impression that although Shrig features in all those novels#and all are mysteries or detective stories of a kind‚ he wasn't necessarily the central character; certainly that's the case here#with Shrig a sort of guiding figure to the young heroic (romantic) lead played by a baby David Burke (Pat still gets the special star#billing tho of course). he's an interesting creation; the Bow Street Runners were the early precursor to what would become London's#metropolitan police force‚ making them possibly the earliest professional police force in the world (in the modern sense at least). Shrig#is quite distinct tho from what we might recognise by the time of the Victorian detective: he's a macabre figure who seems to relish the#very murders he investigates‚ frequently speaking in a near reverent tone of the terrible villains he's attempting to apprehend#and in tone and voice seeming closer to the evil doers he battles than the upper class gentry that pepper the plot. Pat sells it#wonderfully of course‚ a largeish role that allows him to twinkle and grimace as he talks murder and mayhem. lovely stuff
