My understanding of UK libel laws is you cannot defame the dead, so the best way to see if McConnell is alive is to accuse him of something defamatory and see if he sues. No court case, no pulse

0 years: I was 7 weeks early and for several years held the record as the smallest surviving baby in the hospital I was born, and was in an incubator for several weeks after birth. With a working class family back in the late 60s, my chances of survival without the NHS would have been zero

I have the same reaction when I see same sex couples walking hand in hand down the street. It shouldn't matter but it means so much on so many levels that I can't help but smile inside

The opening sequence to the first episode of Game of Thrones consisting of a door being opened... ever... so... slowly made me bored enough to start reading something and not bothering with the rest of the series

“The nightmare corpse-city of Weston-Super-Mare...was built in measureless eons behind history by the vast, loathsome shapes that seeped down from the dark stars. There lay great Cthulhu and his hordes, hidden in green slimy vaults”

The cooling system was installed by the village AC technician, Thermodynamix 😊

I should be surprised at so late an age to find myself falling for Olivia Rodrigo's You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love, although equally unsurprised as, had this been released in 1993, it would have been by Juliana Hatfield youtu.be/B402rKl4bUg?...

My boring take, from other people’s experiences and my own: Doctor Who is a ferociously difficult, near-inhumane show to produce. Brutal for every department, but particularly for one person to hold at the top as it is. If they want the best range of pitches, the production model needs rethinking

I feel that Doctor Who fandom needs a rest. It should lie fallow for 10-15 years. No YouTube opinion videos. No social media comments. No message boards. And when it does come back, it shouldn't have any Doctor Who fans in it.

Doctor Who (Richard E Grant) and his companion I (Paul McGann) go on holiday by mistake to the Lake District, only for it to be interrupted by the Master (Richard Grittiths)

Realise I should clarify this statement with a note to say the very, very earliest Doctor Who could return would be mid to late 2028, with the likelihood that it will take longer

Given the timeline for Doctor Who's return in 2005, if bidding for new production team has a three month deadline, leads to a successful bid, and the writing begins immediately, the earliest the next series will premiere will be mid to late 2028

Some background to today’s unhappy news

The irony is of course all the professional YouTube types who have been slagging Who off for years and have been proved right now have nothing to bitch about and will have to get a job ! 😈

I should have Doctor Who as my nationality in my passport. My love for that show is the closest thing I feel to nationalism or love of a sports team.

Make a Doctor Who title less scary.

Anthea Bell's English version of the "Asterix" books is the best translating work ever. Just her localizations of the names (Getafix, Dogmatix...) would earn the championship, but add to that all the untranslatable French pun jokes that she reinvented--and sometimes made funnier than the original!

Because of current world events I’m avoiding the World Cup as much as possible this year but this is the first thing that makes me question that decision

I feel like in the year and change since The Well came out nobody talks about it at all despite it being a very good episode, and imo this is almost entirely and predictably due to a vocal minority complaining it was a Midnight sequel. In a way the Well is everything wrong with fandom in microcosm

Absolute Green Arrow #1 felt like a bad 80’s straight to video release but with multi-million dollar cinematography. Possibly the worst comic I’ve read this year

RIP Gerry Conway- responsible for writing a lot of good comics (not least his original Amazing Spider-Man run) but my first real encounter with him, and still amongst my favourites of his works, was Cinder and Ashe, superbly illustrated by Jose Garcia Lopez
