It's a holiday in Scotland today. I'm having the day off.

WTF after WTF. #EastEnders, what are you doing? Eek, squiggle!

Maybe not the best, but certainly the most fun... www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-Fx...

"You boy! You! When is bins?"

As much as I liked the callbacks and the treatment of the dementia storyline, #EastEnders is very much "get a half hour of telly out there" these days.

I'm really enjoying these shit-awful AI layouts popping out like measles all over social media.

Watched the Gary Oldman Tinker Tailor last week and it gave me a hankering to watch the BBC series. Fortunately I won’t have to wait long. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...

"That Russell T Davies. I wonder where he gets his inspiration..."

That was more coherent than the last two Doctor Who finales to be fair. #TheWarBetween

Tomorrow! We'll be seeing more from our celebrated content creators, and there's a chance to win a fabulous(?) prize in a game we've called "TARDIS Escape". If you can, please bring along a little edible something for the buffet.

Kennedy Center new signage as pictured by the justice department.

"And just to protect the vulnerable rich guys we've redacted the most incriminating bits." www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

“Ooh, I’ve got blood all down her Ingrid Pitts.”

Fingers crossed this will be reverted January 2029. Fingers crossed harder it'll be even sooner. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jack's got his dad's eye-roll down to a T. #EastEnders

Cor blimey, that's a start to the week with the #EastEnders...

Well, Russell Tovey fuckt a fyfhe. Quelle surprise. #WBLS

Probably safer than naming them after real people, fictional detectives aren't likely to turn out as wrong-uns. Unless that new Bergerac goes to a darker place...

Yes I do, and I did! Although the present pairs one took me a while, I was overthinking it... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Something unbelievable has just happened. I've had a package from Evri arrive in the first five minutes of the notified delivery window.

People should pay at least as much tax that prevents them running their own space programmes.

Just been to Lidl to get cat litter, and did they have any? Yes, but just the expensive one. I'll have to make a trip to Aldi later. I think Lidl have swapped back to the clumping kind anyway, and a pack of the non-clumping lasts longer.

Still awaiting my subscriber copy of DWM. I hate Royal Mail with a passion.

I've become slightly obsessed with that They Might Be Giants track since I watched this (music-nerdy) analysis of Birdhouse in Your Soul. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg2C...

"What is 'The War Between the Land and the Sea'?"

"I found myself in need of a public toilet, but slipped on a wet patch on the floor by a fish man relieving himself and I'm sorry to say a part of his anatomy entered a part of my anatomy and that is when the police raided the premises." #DoctorWho #TheWarBetween #WBLS #Wobbles

Lorne Balfe be like "fuck that woodwind shit, gimme brass!" #Wobbles #WBLS #TheWarBetween

The Liverpool one wasn't cancelled, so I guess there are sleigh-loads of soggy Santas mooching around town right about now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not 💯% sure what's making me drool over this...

The BBC Live feed operator is fed up of this shit. #FIFAWorldCupDraw

Have just got to the "90-minute edit" of The Caves Monsters (#DoctorWho and the Silurians) on the Season 7 boxset, which runs to 107 minutes. 🤪

I've finally been brave enough to put my NotePerformer 5 cover of Alan Silvestri's Avengers Theme on YouTube. I was worried about copyright, but the publishers seem to be allowing covers. youtu.be/wsxUnc5obRA

"Yippee-ki-yay...mother-fucker!" Kadiatu yelled.

The Traitors UK returns (predictably) on New Year's Day. www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

The guy playing Dr Trueman in #EastEnders hasn't spent his time away from the show improving his craft, has he..?

I can get behind this one. This year I heard Last Christmas on 1 November, thank you St Johns Centre, Liverpool. I haven't had the mulled wine for that one yet, mind...

The Bond marathon continues, hours before they disappear off Prime again. Tomorrow Never Dies. Christopher Bowen isn't laughing his head off as his boat sinks. Gerard Butler does his fake real Scottish accent. Julian Rhind-Tutt! As Time Goes By reunion with M and the admiral.

The best description of the Telegraph you'll read this week.

Happy St Andrews Day to me and other Scots, and happy Advent Sunday to the rest of you. I'll no longer be judging you if your Christmas tree's up.

So Trump's going to war with Venezuela to cancel the midterms, is he? Bold move.

Accidentally bought #DoctorWho series 1-4 + specials on Blu-ray today, but it's cleared my new series video shelf lovely. Those chunky DVD boxes (including the series 1 police cube) are headed for storage.

RTD can't even post a picture of a friend on the TARDIS set without fans going "I don't think much of the new Doctor Who".

I tell you what he won't have. Ears clogged up with wax.

"Cakeage *is* Christmas." www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertain...

Holidays are coming…

Lovely, lovely. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A new video from Dalek 63•88. With music by me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv6Z...

This Saturday 15 November upstairs in the Ship & Mitre 2pm-5pm, we're celebrating 60 years since the Daleks launched their fiendish Master Plan. As well as looking at the existing episodes, Timepiece Animation has made a few recons, and Josh Snares made a video about that. All welcome.

I hope they never do another Celebrity Traitors. Because that one was perfect.
