Imagine a young actor down on his luck being given a year’s work at Pinewood Studios on @GerryAndersonTV ’s #SpacePrecinct . Now imagine him finding the love of his life during filming and life never being the same again. That’s me, that is. Forever grateful. #CheersGerryAnderson

I have spent my whole life snatching Doctor Who when I could. Watching new stuff as it was broadcast, catching repeats of older stories, grabbing the odd DVD, saving for BluRays. Seems amazing I can now, for the first time, watch whatever I want, whenever I want, for free.
