I did see Ronnie, who I consider to be his spiritual successor, on Junior Pot Black in 1991 I think it was. I remember thinking at the time he was a bit decent

Not that two world championships is anything to sneer at but Alex could have been world number one and had more world titles if he'd been more consistent. Certainly 1980 anyway, if not 1976 or more, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

Doctor Who
I wasn't especially grabbed by S12 and then had other priorities.
But episode 5, Fugitive of the Judoon...what can I say? I was absolutely blown away.
No spoilers other than to say it was brilliant and everything it should be. Best for a long time.
