Newsagents were definitely a bit of a holdout there. My first job was at a newsagent and was like that in 2002

Ira Steven Behr (the Jewish show runner you reference) talks about trying to change the ferengi being written as stereotypical Jews to stereotypical present day Americans. I think he talks about it in his "What you leave behind" documentary he did a few years back

If Belarus save him by getting a draw against Denmark it would be the most Steve Clarke thing ever

The reason I'm thinking that is that it's clear that both of them really wanted to be the equivalent of the US president but for the UK but since that job didn't exist they became prime minister instead. I'll concede Johnson's personality makes him more suitable for this fictitious job

A few years ago I called Starmer "Boris Johnson with a sensible haircut" as a joke. I'm not convinced it's a joke anymore

You'd probably want to use a wee bit of pollyfilla before you paint over it but you should be able to do that yourself. I've always managed and I'm terrible at DIY

That's a bit unfair. On Lando. He only made his mistake once

Alex Salmond dying has helped as morbid as it is to acknowledge. He was a real lightning rod for a lot of those 2022-4 issues

The worst thing the sequel trilogy did was waste Finn/John Boyega. I'd have a lot more time for last jedi criticism if it concentrated on that

Not just Leela's. The doctor's had a few of "those" lines. And who let Tom Baker away with passing off obvious gibberish as fluent mandarin?

Hinchcliffe and Holmes was also the peak of doctor who's "no girls allowed" era where the only woman in the cast tended to be the companion (or in the case of deadly assassin - no women whatsoever) don't think that would fly these days

If they do it for just EV cars it will be attacked for being anti green regardless of if that's fair or not so if they're going to do it they might as well do it for all cars.

That would be a very silly reason to make this show that won't work unless it's a stranger things style mega hit. Doesn't mean that's not why they're doing it admittedly

At least there's a germ of a good idea in Hogwarts Legacy (The game "Bully" but the school is magic sounds fun! I'd have probably given it a go if JK wasn't how she was) I have no idea why someone would watch this rather than the still available movies (on the same platform as this show!)

She surely can't believe Scottish Labour went from 2nd to 3rd from the election before the independence referendum to the one after because of their tax policy?!?

The 2009 Star Trek reboot was the start of a 15 year attempt by Paramount to turn Star Trek into another Star Wars style mega franchise. It failed miserably. That's the last thing Doctor Who needs

Look this is Britain we're talking about here. The plan is to make something that's already illegal even more illegal and continue to not enforce it being illegal because that costs too much money. It's our answer to every problem these days

Feels like a rebuke of Barney Ronay's article in the same newspaper arguing the exact opposite a couple of days ago. Only Jonathan's being very careful not to mention Barney as Barney's his boss

Ex-Doctor Who boss Russell T Davies regrets not doing classic story sequel Davies said he'd have loved to pen a follow up to series 15 serial Image of the Fendahl

It's this article (well the original DWM full version but that's not online as far as I'm aware) that make me think Fendahl. www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/do...

He's basically describing what he did with empire of death here

I'm convinced the returning villain was originally supposed to be Fendahl but was changed because someone realised they could bring Gabriel Woolf back
