In terms of Switch (2) Pokemon games it’s definitely better than Scarlett/Violet, BDSP and Let’s Go but not as good as Legends Arceus. Probably about on par with Sword/Shield as just solid for me

Finished Legends ZA main story last night and I thought it was…. all right. Battle system was fun but the map is too samey and the pacing of the story I found a bit weird. Nice to use the Chikorita line in a play through where they weren’t totally useless

If I’m running the BBC (scary thought) the 2026 Christmas special wraps up the whole Billie Piper/David Tennant loose ends and Russel T bows out. Then we can launch into an exciting new era with new faces in front of and behind the camera #DoctorWho

I know it’s harder than it looks but unfortunately for me the tide has turned with the last couple of episodes from enjoying The Celebrity Traitors to just being frustrated. Jonathan Ross still not being voted out is insane to me

Not blue sky’ed in a while but safe to say Boro winning 3-0 away at Millwall is worth firing up the app again. Probably my lowest expectations going into a season for a while but Edwards might quietly be putting something together here #UTB

Peter Capaldi as the Doctor in Heaven Sent

Just finished rewatching series 9 of Doctor Who and it’s gotten even better with age. I can see why the final episode is divisive but other than maybe series 10 there hasn’t been one close to it since. 12 and Clara might have the best companion doctor dynamic. For me only series 4 and 5 rival 9.

This series of Taskmaster is maybe my favourite ever or certainly the best one in years such a great cast + some of the most original tasks we’ve seen

Now I’ve got my hands on a switch 2 going to give Pokemon Scarlett another go and see if it fares a bit better than the ok first play through I had.

Just beat the league in Pokemon Black and while you can’t beat HGSS or even Platinum/Emerald for post game replayability I think the main plot might be my favourite in the whole franchise. Here’s the team that got the job done

I may become addicted to the knockout tour mode on the new Mario Kart

Paying for toilets regardless of method should be the real headline

But more broadly doccy who needs to keep changing and adapting which is why Gatwa was a breath of fresh air and even though he’s done some good stuff in this return run I’d like Russel T to hand over the reigns in the near future to get some fresh people with new ideas writing this glorious show

Now obviously I’m going to continue watch the show (however it continues) because I love doccy who and one thing that’s keeping me interested is that Billie wasn’t introduced in the credits as the doctor like previous incarnations on their debut.

As for the regeneration into Billie Piper I’m afraid to say I don’t like it. Russel T has already pulled the nostalgia card once with Tennant - which for an anniversary special is fine but to do it so soon cheapens the whole thing and just feels like a shock regeneration for shock’s sake

The fact Gatwa never got to square off with the likes of the daleks, cyber men etc is such a shame but that’s also due to the short episode counts we now have. So basically I liked 15’s run but it’s going to feel like a messy and incomplete era

The finale was so rushed, the rani and omega dispatched way too easily for me and while I really liked the 13 cameo I felt 15 would’ve really got cooking with a third season and there’s a lot tied to this specific era that’s unresolved from Susan to the boss and probably other stuff I’m forgetting

It’s clear now the original ending was not Ncuti regenerating but they changed it a few months ago with him not wanting to wait around for a potential third series given his career is on such a rise. Overall I liked his doctor but there’s a huge sense of what could’ve been

Some thoughts on the final episode of this season’s Doctor Who now I’ve had a chance to sleep on it. Firstly I think this season’s been overall pretty good - the most consistent since maybe series 9 but the ending just felt very odd

An absolutely insane end to this series of doctor who - I am genuinely baffled I have absolutely no idea how to feel

Depending on how the finale goes we are on for an all time series of Doctor Who. If it sticks the landing it could reach heights the show hasn’t seen for at least a decade

The last three episodes of Andor cap off what I reckon is the best instalment in the whole franchise including all the films, TV, everything. Makes me desperate to go back and watch Rogue One because I’m going to have a whole new appreciation for an already great film

True interesting to see what the effects will be in Tory vs Lib Dem battlegrounds (particularly in the South East) because I don’t think reform will sweep in and as easily replace the conservatives as they have in other parts of the country

Also the injection of Carney into the election was a huge factor - if Starmer is still leader by 2029 (which I think he will be) and he keeps on the same trajectory then I can’t see people rallying behind Labour just to keep Reform out

What a terrible end to another underwhelming season. Not been helped at all by transfers but I think over three years Carrick has showed us he’s not the man to take us forward. #Boro

The latest episode of Doctor Who - wow. One of, if not my favourites of this era so far just so so good. This season has gone from strength to strength

Gary Lineker: "This is the mistake the BBC makes. The BBC tries to appease the people that hate the BBC, rather than worrying about the people that love the BBC."

Even after 15 years #Pokemon Heart Gold is still the best the series has ever been (platinum, emerald and black/white also nearly reach that peak) - 8 gym badges and the league down just another 8 and much more to go

A good and then a great episode to start this series of Doctor Who off. Already enjoying the Doctor-companion dynamic more this season

Daredevil Born Again lived up to the hype for me. You could tell there were a few teething problems with the new direction of the series but it was a joy to see these characters again

It’s another bullseye for Chiles. People’s etiquette on public transport when it comes to not playing things out loud has gone out the window over the last few years
