There’s so much wrong here, it’s hard to know where to begin. But you can start by reading Angie’s brilliant book and giving it to every teen you know. Nothing like a fragile middle aged white man to point you inadvertently to quality literature.

MAYOR: Did you do that sculpture solemnly honouring our civil war dead SCULPTOR: Sure thing boss, real sexy just like you asked MAYOR: What

Big moment: the last #GoodnightSweetheart of its regular run, and as you expect the creators come back to tie things off. And it quickly becomes clear that they see the premise of the show differently to eferyone else they've had in over the years.

Some might say that "evidence" that some young people switch gender identities more than once would be more evidence that gender is fluid and non-binary, not less.

Cheers, Frank! The TV studio space one was my favourite bit to write :)

A polydactylic cat walks into a bar. It says, "I would like, in pursuance of my desire to have a drink, to buy a drink." The barman asks, "Why the unnecessary extra clause?"

Have we considered that this all might be a row between Farage and his German wife that's got out of hand?

The general submissions portal is now open for all writers. We are looking for speculative fiction stories, 5000 words or under, and our preference is for something that is, more or less, fun.

Journey split between two tickets from two different operators, and somehow purchased from a third. Lovely morning filling in Delay Repasy forms with the creeping dread they'll all say one of the others needs to do the refunding.

If you all look under your seats, you'll find a fresh pile of dread to take home! You get some dread! And you get some dread! Everyone gets fresh dread!

🚨NEW EPISODE!🚨 Are you a collector of toy Daleks? If so, you'll love this new book from Telos Publishing and @davidjhowe.bsky.social - Evolution of the Toy Daleks, by Alex Storer. We speak to the author. soundcloud.com/powerof3pod/...

This week I achieved my Masters with Distinction. I inflicted pain and suffering on myself while writing the thesis, and now I inflict it on the world. pinkforyouractualpterodactyl.com/2025/09/18/d...

I love the contrast between the scenes where she plays the fussy little aunt and the scenes where she is as sharp as a pin. Both played to perfection.

It's my favourite Miss Marple by a large margin. Everything - screenplay, cast, music - comes together perfectly. Bonus points for baby Samantha Bond & Simon Shepherd.

Miss M is overlooked, ignored, dismissed, irrelevant. People talk about stuff in front of her and think she won’t understand or can’t hear. They forget she is in the room. Pink, fluffy, knitting, muttering about godchildren. That’s the genius of the character and Joan H is the only one who gets it.

I call those her “oh dear me” moments when she starts her fussing and everyone reacts indulgently and gives her the info she needs.

We just missed Sylvia Coleridge unfortunately - her and Sims being the Rezzies would have been something to behold. Mind you, Betty Marsden was still about.

Sometimes with archive TV you have to accept that you're not really watching a TV show: conventions, tastes, techniques change so fast that sometime it's just an intellectual exercise of studying a historical artefact. That is absolutely not the case with the BBC #MissMarple A Murder Is Announced.

One of just ten completed "Kathy and Wendy" strips for a proposed strip by Axa creator Enric Badia Romero, who also drew Modesty Blaise is up for auction today https://downthetubes.net/lost-newspaper-strips-enric-badia-romeros-kathy-and-wendy/

Oh! The best version of The Signalman is on #iPlayer - is that why you lot were talking about it yesterday? www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

BBC news showing the Trump protest in London, Sylvester McCoy has just appeared on a vox pop.

Every SF/F news outlet wholeheartedly pretending Robert Redford was most famous for being in the MCU - I see you.

Now would be a good time to find out someone's been secretly producing a historical drama based on The Battle of Cable Street.

The Stranger The Strangers Strangers on a Train

Penultimate #GoodnightSweetheart (of the original run) last night, and I was surprised by just how good it was. Nothing showy, just a nice premise done well: a photo of Gary in 1945 ends up in a biography of Noël Coward and has to prevent Yvonne seeing it. That's it.

Last day of open submissions for this cycle // www.alwayscrashing.com/submissions

Well this is one of the all-time great Doctor Who chapter titles.

We're opening subs for the 2025 New Flash Fiction Prize on 15 Sept! Read what judge Graham Faulkner wants: "Capturing the decisive moment with arresting detail. Writing to the questions, not the answers. The ability to create a mood, an intimacy, a connection." newflashfiction.com/get-ready-fo...

Black Sheep Cover Appreciation - Heritage by @dalesmithonline.com A potent, dramatic, nightmarish image. A great book, too.

Finished S6 of #Unforgotten last night, and whilst last season was showing a hit of strain from trying to go bigger, this is the one that actually broke. It's everything all at once and quickly loses focus, and ultimately it's way, and left us disappointed.

Very odd billing on this upcoming R4 Afternoon Play: "By Jeremy Dyson, Stars Mark Gatiss" and makes no mention of the fact that this is a League of Gentlemen reunion www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m.... Has Sherlock finally eclipsed that part of Gatiss' CV?

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either
