Badenoch demands escalated military action, while insisting she doesn't want any escalation. Has anyone actually checked her for concussion?

[Subtweet] We've had far too much the-wind-is-blowing bullshit from previous archive TV recovery individuals/organisations so it inspires no confidence at all to see Film is Fabulous also heading down that route. Just announce stuff officially, when you can. Don't drop hints to raise people's hopes.

I really hope they’ve found S3 E6 of β€˜Mr. Rose’. That would be amazing. Cos it never got made.

Find someone who's as turned on by you as Chris Mason is by a rapist, paedophile, terrorist saying mean things about the Prime Minister.

Did you know the people who keep an up to date report on every debate in Parliament frequently suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome? It's an occupational Hansard.

JL2 Companion Chronicles: The Selachian Gambit. A fun bank heist/hostage situation story, with some clever twists and sci-fi embellishments. Hines and Wills do a great job (Hines's Doctor and Ben are spot on; his Jamie's not bad too) with a smart script, that captures this TARDIS crew at their best.

I do have to say that the new Silurian/Sea Devil dialogue makes some bold choices.

At least during the last illegal middle east incursion, we had a bunch of great sitcoms. And at least one cracking good album a year. And I could drink.

Due to either fraud or bank cock-up, I'm living off whatever cash I can find down the back of the sofa for the next few days. Not biggie, I've got enough bran flakes & processed meats in breadcrumbs to see me through. It's living without impulse buying cheap 2nd-hand books I'll never read. Torture.

JL2 The Imposters. Like the brilliant Kaleidoscope, this has a fun, bold, comic-book feel to it, that both captures S11 & brings its own wildly imaginative, witty, & eccentric style to it. Too many highlights to list in full; plot, ideas, twists, performances, production, all outstanding. Loved it.
