My sons have spent large parts of the last two or three evenings shouting out that line. One of them then went on to do Dave Angel impressions.

A trade magazine that actively talks-down its trade.

No, Keeper of Traken is much, much better.

Incredible book, but warping in terms of the range.

They're being rolled out for use in Courts across the country as part of Labour's reforms to Criminal Justice.

Too complex for the BBC audience - Krotons natural audience was that of The Prisoner and Civilisation.

Because it's a good little story

I missed it on transmission and only if saw it much later. It's marvellous.

Wonderfully unsettling and strange episode.

A much misunderstood story deserving more love and affection.

I'm sure they are very happy now that it's been axed. They knew they were right (wing).

Good to see 'Girls Collection Japan' liked this season.

Russell T. Davies does politics (again) and people were somehow surprised. A bracing, divisive season, but one that frequently achieves greatness. I think we did it justice.

Presumably they were so firmly cosseted by the Telegraph/Spectator/Spiked/Unherd that they had entered an alternative non-reality.
British Trumpers are a wretched breed.

How did they not know about Project 2025? Uninformed and a pontificator - an ugly combination.

I'm reminder of the time DWM compared the fortunes of both franchises and argued (fairly convincingly) how they tracked each other in terms of popularity/perceived failure.

Sue Storm refuses to bow to pressure to give up her (unborn) child but is then prepared to die for the child. Your anti-abortion message is VERY subtle Marvel. And as I don't believe for a moment that Sue and Reed have had sex, it's a Virgin birth.Then Baby Jesus brings raises someone from the dead.

At the cinema for the first time in about six years - the advert for 4DX suggests Huxley was right. Scent is a bit too close to the feelies.

πŸ‘‘This week in the exploring sessions, we're adding to our work on King John by John Bale. A Second Look exploring session has been dropping, adding to our more slow burn walk through. More on the potential for this text to follow someday. #theatre #exploring
