I don't think their sentience has reached that (or any) level of self-aware yet.

Always felt the artist John Cooper was a bit overlooked. He drew a lovely Judge Dredd strip about a talking cat trying to save his fellow 'guinea pigs' from death at the hands of vivisectionists. I think he may have owned a cat which he used a model for the art.

The Good Place. 👍

Buses can be so fickle! 🚌

Likewise. Sorry I didn't stop. Hope the interview went well. Very much looking forward to the book. 👻🪈

I wish I didn't have a backbone. Would be happy being an octopus for the day. 🐙

Currently lying flat in bed as it's the only position I currently feel comfortable. Twisted my back last Thursday and it's playing up still. At least it's Sunday so nothing lost.

Shada!

David McCallum in oils!!! Bet that created a stir with the girls and some of the boys too!! 😉

Agree with the review. I thought Tilly was wasted in the sort of generic role that could've been filled by anyone. Eccentric leaturers seem to be this series' broken holodeck trope. Good to see Robert Picardo given some meat to chew on though.

Starfleet Academy ep 8
A tale of two halves. One gives Robert Picardo a chance to shine in a genuinely touching story that adds depth to both the Doctor and SAM. Whilst the other sees students with PTSD being forced nto putting on a play that pulls the episode into even more dull introspection. 5/10

Ah, nothing to do with soap opera rabies. I see.

I honestly have no idea what you are talking about... But it sounds interesting.🤔

GC - Genome convert?

Currently ending the day watching an episode of the old ATV General Hospital on ITVX. A young Patrick Ryecart is dying very horrifically from rabies after catching it from a dog owned by an even younger Russell Lewis -;who would go on to create and write Endeavour when he grew up. Night, night. 🐶💀

Parker Brown would've made a great 70s style Dracula. I have to say that the rabies episode (Twice Shy by David Fisher) wasn't too bad. The ending was a bit abrupt and I honestly didn't think they'd go that far with it. Don't know if there was fallout in the next episode though.

The series had two themes - a slow reflective one (by Derek Scott) and a drum heavy fast-moving bombastic one (by Johnny Pearson). Strangely both themes accompanied the same title sequence. And strangely, both themes worked with it... 🤔

Hey Disney+

Your persistence at trying to tempt subscribers back with the availability of Tron: Ares on your platform is commendable but futile. 💩

It doesn't. I'm waiting for one of those 4K restoration special editions from Hammer. I'm sure they will get to it eventually.

We are getting nearer to the day of the time barrier... 18April2026 at QUAD in Derby. Stay out of the future... But get your tickets now.

I'll always marvel at Concorde's ability to do a loop-the-loop and that the lovely David Warner is in this - sat behind the pilot and co-pilot being reliable as always... 😍

Today's charity shop purchase. 70p (10p each) for the complete On the Buses. 🚌

I'll never watch the ruddy thing but it's there for when it's needed.

Paramount+ gets a minus in Geography. 🙄

I've actually taken it off the shelf and put it by the player. If I get a chance, I'll make an attempt on it.

The Horst:

This is going on immediately whilst I make dinner.

My Dad had the LP version - double A side with 'Tales of Men's Shirts'. I can (almost) recite 'The Scarlet Capsule' from start to finish.
