If anything, I think that the vogue for big no-brainer movies where there's very definite good guys who always win is a reaction to an increasingly, morally ambiguous depressing world, not the other way round.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has finally wrested my attention away from Skyrim and Fallout 4.
Strontium Dog, from 2000AD.
“Homer? Who is Homer? My name is Guy Incognito”
Somebody his age and bonkers-ness should be sitting in a pub talking shit to anyone who'll listen, not occupying one of the most powerful political offices in the world.
I can hear the background music to some of these scenes.
Great as the old Colonel in Lipstick on Your Collar, too.
Trump, Farage and Steve Bannon
"May be contagious"
My old Olliedog. 14 and 6 months, and still reasonably undiminished by age.
Willo the Wisp
I spare as many quiet moments as I can with my 14-year old dog.
Inspector Morse has Troughton, Eccleston and Jim Broadbent.
A bit Quantum Leap, but technically far more accomplished.
See also the dance sequence.
One of my favourite movies this decade, and really should have occurred to me as “a film with a Doctor”.
Quite easy for me: Withnail & I. Or In the Loop.
Or, on some days, Carry On Screaming.
Best birthday in years. Saw all my mates, got lots of lovely things.
Hello, last year of my 40s.
Share a preacher, nun or priest!
1) My dog
2) Doctor Who
3) Whatever RPG I'm currently obsessing over (right now it's Baldur's Gate 3)
4) Beer

And the JN-T one seemed like a natural pairing with it, considering I’ve been watching a *lot* of 80s Who lately.
Happy birthday to me!
It’s almost like people think I like Doctor Who…
Whenever I see those mice, I find myself involuntarily making an Arthur Dent-type noise.
The League of Gentlemen
“Debbie, where are the fucking oranges?” should have been the episode title.
Nor Katy Carmichael.
I called where the worm was and I feel suitably ashamed #Taskmaster.
Nigel Plaskitt's still around, but I doubt he'd have anything to say that they didn't already get out of him for the DVD.
We've already had Adams stuff on S17.
Fisher seems quite likely, though.
The songs on the soundtrack, perhaps?
