I love seeing behind the scenes stuff on shows I fondly remember. This is a few seconds of BBCtv raw studio footage from Doctor Who, 1971, with Jon Pertwee as the third Doctor. The title 'The Vampire From Space' was changed to 'The Claws Of Axos'. #DoctorWho #JonPertwee #BTS

The 1828-built 'Watch House' on the beach at Lepe, Hampshire, UK. Taken from the steps leading down to the front door (at the back!). The building used to house a customs & excise boat and duty staff, when the area was infamous for smuggling. New Forest District Council New Forest NPA #beach

Perilous times for these toad tadpoles. Loving the sun, hundreds become trapped in muddy pools created by pony hooves here in the The New Forest As the water level drops, their tiny swimming pools become cut off from the safety of the stream, and they perish. British Herpetological Society

Knight in shining armour! Took this at an event in Eastleigh, UK, years back. I think the rider was a very skilled young lady. Just rediscovered it, going through the archives. #knight #Horses #rearing #Southampton #Medieval

This custom made Nike shoe was worn by Michael J. Fox as “Marty McFly” in Back to the Future II. When Doc Brown and Marty arrive in the year 2015, Doc gives Marty the latest in high-tech outerwear. The first thing he puts on is the self-lacing trainers. #backtothefuture #Nike

The 'Sensory Garden' at Lepe Country Park on the south coast of the New Forest, Hampshire. The bubbles are triggered as you approach! Drop in after your swim, walk or snack. Very windy for my daily sea swim today, but much calmer in the garden! New Forest District Council New Forest NPA

Sometimes it's best to go with the flow when shooting a family portrait. This was for a fun newspaper feature. I did get them all smiling to camera too! #familyportrait #photography #poses #dog #cute

Two travel legends no longer with us. The Queen Elizabeth II (QE2) liner and the supersonic Concorde aircraft, advertised together in this 1980s holiday poster. Plus you got to stay in New York's Waldorf Astoria hotel. #Concorde #QE2 #posterdesign #vintage #NewYork

40 mph winds and a high tide made my daily swim more of a challenge today, at Lepe, Hampshire. But still enjoyable - and always safe. The historic Watch House appears in this video. And no, I didn't swim from those rocks! Hampshire County Council New Forest District Council New Forest NPA Eastleigh Borough Council

Great display from the white lilies 'Lilium Casa Blanca' in the pot I planted up with just two small bulbs from B&Q over 12 years ago. They just keep multiplying! #lilies #stamens
