Ian and Barbara follow Susan home. That's weird behaviour, right? This story is called 'An Unearthly Child', but it should be called, "The Slightly Unusual Child, and the Two Mad Stalker Teachers Who Don't Understand Boundaries."

Absolute bobbins.
Some clever ideas, and obviously well made. Bit utterly incomprehensible in narrative terms. The stakes were impossible to engage with and it’s clear they hadn’t really worked out the logic.
Bill and Ted did it better.
"The Stones of Blood get bored and start murdering people. This is very enjoyable for all concerned. If everyone had to fill in a form afterwards, they'd choose this as one of the highlights. Even the people who had all their blood sucked out."

“The Brigadier has decided to attack the Autons with guns. This is his response to all things. He doesn't realise this, though. He thinks this is a fresh take.”

“For too long now chess has relied on the king and queen, not to mention the tired old pawns…”
The poster for the film 'Project hail Mary'
Project Hail Mary is as good as everyone says.
But Cineworld had 35 minutes of trailers beforehand. How the hell do they expect to compete against streaming with this kind of dickhead behaviour?
The Discontinuity Guide is a glorious thing, isn’t it?
I’d say my favourites are that, Useless Encyclopaedia, Writers Tale and Space Helmet for a Cow.
(Writers Tale is elsewhere, under ‘autobiographical’)
I call this section “Amazing books about Doctor Who”.
"Loads of extra massive stones turned up at the same time as the murders. The stones are keen that no-one makes this connection, and stand very still, as if to say 'Murder? The very idea. I haven't even got opposable thumbs!""

"Doctor Who is trying to do proper detectiving. Then people might start saying, "Oh good, Doctor Who, he'll sort it out!" instead of, "Who is this idiot, and why is he laughing at the death of my friends?""

“For Doctor Who, getting captured is an essential part of his daily routine, and so he's feeling pretty chipper. He's trying to work out what he'd most like to do next. Order breakfast and see what happens?”

SNL has quickly become appointment viewing in our house. Wine open, general buzz of joy… it’s lovely.

He’s going to say he *did* die and rose again, isn’t he?
And… it would be “You” that was the problem , wouldn’t it? Not “I”. It’s illiterate at the level of basic grammar.
The John Higgs book “Exterminate Regenerate “
Yes! Be impressed with my patience, everyone. I’ve waited for the paperback of John Higgs’s “Exterminate Regenerate”, holding off until now even though I’m ludicrously excited about it.
And here it is. A reward for my good works.
"The Main Bad Guy has been trying to amaze Doctor Who with his terrifying plan to rule the world. Not one word of it has made the slightest impact and he is now looking for somewhere to have a good cry."

A page on BBC iPlayer, showing the newly discovered episodes of Doctor Who.
What a beautiful and surreal thing to see.
If, for some reason, you're in the mood for Daleks this morning, why not read my account of the time they came to Earth to zoom about at major tourist attractions?

And this one that doesn't really fit the brief but I couldn't stop once I'd thought of it
“Look who the main villain is this week. It's only a bloke who's half pirate, half robot! That's amazing. Doctor Who is going to be sick with excitement when he sees him. He loves this kind of nonsense.”
Read my amazing account of Doctor Who - The Pirate Planet.

I very much like “Sir…” to Peri.
Amazing first sketch. Who knew the secret was… be confident and good.

Thought it was pretty smart to start with a ‘Brits love to be negative’ gag.
Laughed out loud several times. That said, we just watched the Manosphere thing before it, so maybe I’m just enjoying the lack of evil pricks.
SNL pretty funny so far. I know I’m meant to be ostentatiously negative about it, but here we are.
He’s such a fucking prick, isn’t he? Why does he have to be such a fucking prick?
