Amazing! And omg, she got out!

Why the BBC WAC should remain bigger on the inside. An absolutely boffo column from Doctor Who mensch @tobyhadoke.bsky.social about the very silly decision by the BBC to cut off independent and exploratory research at its Written Archives Centre. cstonline.net/defending-th...

Hi Lisa Nandy! I’m a BAFTA winner from a small town. Instead of asinine questions like this, why not tell us how we can continue to make a living in the eviscerated creative sector over which you notionally preside?

Ohhhh jealous. Probably my favourite of his...? Love the Geoffrey Burgon soundtrack.

I mistakenly thought disabled people get a boost in independence from Motability, not to mention (if you're a capitalist) their ability to work from no longer have to rely on inaccessible public transport. But on reflection, maybe it's best for them all just to be branded with an iron.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Doctor Who,” or “Transformers".

Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory An intensive international study was coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and led by the BBC

"Gemini performed worst with significant issues in 76% of responses, more than double the other assistants, largely due to its poor sourcing performance."

And yet: "We want these tools to succeed and are open to working with AI companies to deliver for audiences and wider society.’"

I demand a special edition!

I'm hearing this from a *lot* of people and it's freaking me out!

I do love the jungle, and her, though don't think she gets enough to do in this one. I blame Louis Marks!

For all its faults, Android Invasion is just *fun*! Gives Season 13 a bit more light and shade, where PoE feels oddly joyless. I suspect it shares a problem with Mandragora that Sarah is not written very interestingly.

Trying to boil down what sets me off so much, because deep down I know it's not *that* bad! Maybe it's warmth. I need more warmth. I demand more warmth!

Tbf, it probably suffers hugely just from what's either side of it.

Yes, the dynamic feels a lot like Vishinsky having to babysit the son of someone high up.

There is no escaping Prentis Hancock!

On paper it should be great. Mandragora also sends me to sleep, so I'm convinced the fault lies with the script.

I want to see a version of The Three Doctors where Omega takes his mask off and the anti-matter's just given him long hair and fewer teeth.

On reflection, it does also feature Prentis Hancock's best/worst performance, so that's something to look forward to.

The production's great, but the script nearly sent me into a coma. (Doing my bit to lower people's expectations so they enjoy it more than I do!)

I do not get on with Hinchcliffe era Louis Marks.
