I'll never know, because of course it's paywalled.
Yes. It's *them* that want your outrage. Not us, with our article titled "Replace Greg Davies and drop the comedians: how to fix Taskmaster." We're just showing our integrity.
We've all moved on to Malcolm in the Middle.
The last two months have proved that Scrubs needs John C McGinley a lot more than John C McGinley needs Scrubs.
Look, Meta AI, I don't care why Steve Carrell left The Office, I specifically want to know the answer to YOUR QUESTION, namely why he isn't returning for the Malcolm in the Middle revival.
Virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Or so I've heard - like I say, I shan't be checking. Why would I need to?
Enjoy your "missing episodes," #DoctorWho fans. I've got access to the Ian Levine AI reconstructions, so I think I'll pass on your little film reels.
It's true - I've been to the Cascades, and there's been times when I've struggled to recognise it as a shopping centre.
*adopts Stewart Lee voice* Now, that story isn't true. But what it says about Russell T Davies' Doctor Who is true.
Companies! Please stop using AI to make posters for your business/event/April fool's joke. I don't have a set stance on AI - I have a lot of concerns, but I also think it has its uses - but whenever I see something in that slightly sepia, yellowy tone I want to gouge my eyes out. It looks *awful*.
"the good news is that we have found a relatively cheap and easy way to prevent the cast from going through puberty. the bad news is that not everybody in this room is going to like it".
I'm quite enjoying #SNLUK. I feel so sure everyone else on here will be too that I'm not even going to check my feed.
Finally bought my ticket for the "Writing for Procrastinators" workshop I'm going to tomorrow afternoon. I've been meaning to book my ticket for a couple of months now, but, well...
Oh, and in case you thought I made this up for the joke:
Sure, Hulu has just passed on the Buffy reboot, but a Firefly animated series is definitely going to happen.
With all their focus on grooming gangs and the like, I'm surprised nobody's told Reform about the last bloke who used to "fix it"...
(And I don't mean Bob the Builder)
Okay, we can put off banning Glasgow until either you move away or I find a second person to like my posts on here.
Well we’re keeping all the blue police boxes.
Russell T Davies was born in Swansea, and I think that's a dump too.
Do you think we can use the whole Glasgow vape shop fire thing as an excuse to ban vapes? And Glasgow?
I'll save you a click - this isn't what you want it to be.
I will never let peterdt_tardis@libertysurf.net go.
That's still 27 minutes less than the McCoy intro though.
I do wonder if people would be *quite* so upset about the Shrine being taken down if the series itself wasn't in such an uncertain place right now. And, of course, Big Finish's Torchwood range is coming to a close very soon too.
I was a bit scornful of the Ianto shrine when it started, because COME ON, PEOPLE. But the longer it's gone on, the more it tickled me that it somehow kept existing long after Torchwood stopped being relevant. Sounds like structurally it's time to go, though. They're not removing it through spite.
Say what you like about Starmer - and God knows there's a lot to say about him - but he's doing a great job of distancing us from that demented orange warmonger across the pond...
Reform just found their new poster boy, a man who looks *exactly* how you would expect a Reform candidate to look.
Stardew Valley news coming later today... If I can finally marry Pam, I am going to FREAK OUT. www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/02...
2am thought: There is a universe where all of Patrick Troughton's Doctor Who episodes exist... but where none of them are available on iPlayer, because the BBC let him play the part in blackface like he always wanted.
