Blech. How very, very unpleasant. Stay away from that Network site. Just... keep as far from it as possible.

For an ep so light on plot, it zooms by. All the little character vignettes are so entertaining, there's no need to over-complicate it. Venus talking Andy out of his downer is maybe too quick a fix, but it's very nicely done. And, this week, Johnny gets the round of applause for entering a scene.

Highlights: Everyone treating the ratings book like a bomb. Mr Carlson's childlike glee having finally become (very slightly) successful. Excitedly, he asks Jennifer if he can show her something. Jennifer's "Okaaay" is hilariously cautious, defensive, and curious. (It's blueprints, by the way.)

S2 E9 “Baby, If You’ve Ever Wondered”. Despite better ratings, Andy feels like a failure. A good Andy ep, that returns focus to the show's original premise. The characters are so well established now, a lot of comedy is generated from how each reacts to the ratings. Ends on a sweet Andy/Venus scene.

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 ‘Mr. Rose’. That would be amazing. Cos it never got made.

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.
