Yes, it’s really happening. You are not imagining this.
The story sees Dirk signing autographs at a convention when a mysterious scientist appears, transporting him to Earth’s far-flung future, where he discovers he is mankind’s only hope against an oppressive computer and its robot army.
It’ll be out in November.

The new season of Canal+/BBC4’s Engrenages/Spiral begins on 3 September in France – no word yet from BBC4 on when it will air it, I’m afraid, but with 11 episodes of Inspector Montalbano left on Saturdays, I don’t imagine it’ll be for a a while yet. So to tide you over and get you all unfairly excited, here’s the first couple of minutes of the new season. In French obviously. Sorry, non-French speakers.
Don’t forget you can also play Inside Engrenages over on the Canal+ web site. And there are lovely pictures of Audrey Fleurot and Grégory Fitoussi there, as well as of other cast members and plot-relevant moments from the new season, too.
See?
Ironically, given the title of this strand, today’s play, The Long Distance Piano Player, was actually the first Play for Today, the strand that replaced the BBC’s The Wednesday Play. Starring Ray Davies of The Kinks as well as Norman Rossington and James Hazeldine, the play is the story of a piano player’s obsession to win the world long-distance piano-playing record, whilst his wife and agent argue around him. Written by future Hollywood scriptwriter Alan Sharp (Rob Roy, The Osterman Weekend), it’s a little inexplicable and Davies’ performance is variable, but it’s well worth a watch.
These Avengers Blu-Ray extras keep coming thick and fast. Here’s how The Avengers was originally going to open.
