The black beaches and Icelandic ponies are both a step too far though. For me, it's gone far beyond artistic liberties and is full-on ludicrous. Not quite Great White sharks in the collosseum but damn close...

Pleased to announce that my ep The Worst of All Evils will be 1 of 4 making up the latest War Master box-set. As well as Dr Who, watching I, Clavdivs as a kid got me into writing so getting to pen a Whoniverse story for the mighty Sir Derek was a huge honour. www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/t...

Nope - had never heard of her til this very post. I am 53, white, English and watch TV drama on multiple streamers, at least one ep a day, and usual more. Looking at her imdb the only time I'll have seen her is in Handmaid's Tale.

A lot of BBC content goes to Netflix after it's been on iPlayer a year or so. Let me know what you think!

What exactly does he expect after rampant capitalism since Thatcher and then 14 years of Brextremist Tory twats on top of that? It was pretty nice 1997-2010, though still far from perfect re rent etc.

Is he going to be Spanish but for some reason speak in his own Australian accent?

I keep coming back to the single-best piece of worldbuilding advice I ever heard, hilariously delivered to a man who was stuck because he hadn't given his hero enough potions to beat the boss: "you're a writer dude, if you need to cast a shadow move a mountain"

If you sow dragons' teeth - don't be surprised when you grow dragons.

Zia Yusuf quit Reform UK in protest. Now he’s back to lead their Musk-style β€œDOGE unit”, a US-imported gimmick that failed veterans and delivered nothing.

Reform is not a serious party.
