Yes, this will definitely cut the knees off U18s watching pixelated bukkake

I see lots of people are really pissed off about Superman being nice.

Your periodic reminder that 6 Music goes entirely sideways on Glasto weekend as it’s wall to wall live stuff that all sounds bloody awful on the radio.

Current slight obsession: Pictures of Noel Gallagher in transit looking thoroughly miserable.

Personally I thought Walton Goggins was the singer from The Guess Who.

This does *not* make this ongoing shit with Unbound/Boundless better, Tom, but I saw a copy of 21st C. Yokel out in the wild in Bradford on Avon today, and I bloody well bought it, because, well, you.

2024: “Why am I the only one talking about Dr Who’s ‘tache?”
2025: “Why am I the only one talking about Dr Who’s amazing regenerating/retractable hair?”

Changed my mind. I'm now giving 100 of these away instead. I wonder if that might be possible, by next week, if this gets enough shares and hits the algorithm?

Everyone: “AI is evil and we should be careful about allowing it to scrape whatever we do for its own evil ends.”
Also Everyone: “FUCK YEAH let’s put my actual name and likeness into ChatGPT and make an action figure!”

Finally!

Inside no.9 ticket queue is basically an interactive “Sure, Jan” gif

JOHN LENNON stands up. He is so tall that his head instantly enters a cloud.
TALL JOHN: Hello Yoko.
RINGO STARR: (anxiously) Mo, did you pack the beans. Mo? MO? MAL?!
AMERICAN GEORGE HARRISON: You’ll complete this fucking meditation course and become global ambassadors for TM, Hare Krishna.

Drum intro plays, MCU on buggy.
A mop topped head pops up.
PAUL MESCALCARTNEY: “ooo”

Cut it open!

After lunchtime.

Oh fuck I remember these!

That’s just because Ronald Allen takes a bit longer to buffer.

Oh absolutely. I just meant the ones that make no sense at all. Four to Doomsday, Resurrection, Attack.

Terrance reining Hulke in a bit, maybe? Always felt it was similar to The War Games on that front, lots of elements but keeping it moving, especially from ep3 onwards.

I always thought that our knowledge of all the script chaos shaped how we see it in some way. There’s other stories that make no sense at all and don’t get the same bad rap.

Good old ‘received wisdom’.

Oh it’s wonderful. I just always see lots of people picking holes. The seven parters have always had a bit of that treatment, but Ambassadors, in all its jump cut glory, is wonderful. Michael Ferguson absolutely pulls it together, then gives the action reply machine a fucking good kick.

There are some that just can’t stop laying into it, but I adore it. Sure, it’s a hot mess of scripting, production and a patchwork quilt of a restoration, but it’s tense, imaginative, and full of incredible, often very bugged-out imagery.

I have had three pints and am watching The Ambassadors (TWANG) OF DEATH

Underrated Gibb era. I’m doing a two parter for Shindig on the 1970-72 reunion/Trafalgar/To Whom It May Concern era to follow on from my Odessa/Cucumber one back in 2019. A Bee Gee trilogy, one for each brother ❤️

Barry Gibb returns as Prince Frederick, King of Cucumber in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY

I am so in love with Broken Veil.

Well that average extra £500 across a year by 2030 is going to work marvels with the grocery shop.

Can somebody invent a cat game where you fairly tax people that own yachts please, it might save lives.
