Blade Runner is one of my favourite films. It’s sci-fi, it’s got a great cast, it’s cult, seminal and influential, and the Iron Maiden album cover Somewhere in Time owes a lot to it.

This New Doctor Who
As a boy, my first ever Doctor Who was John Pertwee, the third Doctor, after William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton. He wasn’t on my TV set for too long before he regenerated as Tom Baker and he, as far as I am concerned, is the quintessential Doctor Who of my generation (X).
Then we had Peter Davidson, husband of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’s Trillion (Sandra Dickinson), followed swiftly by Colin Baker and Silvester McCoy, by which time, as a late teen, I’d already started to lose interest in the show. The BBC did enlist the charms of Nichola Bryant to lure me back to the screen, but I was more preoccupied with real world girls by then.
