One of the Coal Hill girls in the corridor shot was Francesca Bertorelli, sister of Andrea Bertorelli, first wife of Phil Collins. That's Too Much Information via @tobyhadoke.bsky.social !

I am delighted that the ex-brother-in-law of one of the first two women to appear on screen in Doctor Who is finally to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That’s today’s REAL NEWS.

Exquisite.

Look at Maria Bartiromo’s face.

Transwarp drive, the drive that transes you.

Sarek: Hmm, my son's dead? Guess it's time to become a good parent.

Have you ever, you know, space docked?

I have seen a lot of NIMBY selfishness in my time, but "my convenience matters more than cancer care" is a new low. Quite seriously tempted to email them and tell them as much.

Born on this day, Terrance Dicks. I know he was aware of what he meant to so many of us and what a fire he lit under us - mainly because I think we all told him anytime we ever saw him. I wouldn't have been the only person to get the reading bug after being bitten by a radioactive Terrance.

One big problem with Labour 2024 is that they don't seem to like the people who actually voted for them and are chasing the votes of people who didn't. Who are also being chased by everyone else, because they are Real Voters. Whereas graduates / 2nd gen migrants are imaginary

We're doing a series of interviews with former PMs (to be published in the coming months!) and one of them said exactly this: the job is so varied, and you can't pick and choose the good bits of the job - you *have* to do them all.

Happy Birthday Peter Capaldi (April 14th, 1958)🎂🎉🎈

Utter vandalism ! From Reform, who else !😡

SepiaThing.

The new VERY hagriographic Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ's nephew is out at the end of the month. But back in 2004 an unauthorised and EQUALLY flattering biopic was made in Canada. Here is a clip and I promise you have NO idea where it's going. I haven't done a single edit here.

It's true; I've only seen 2 Canada license plates in VT in 2026 thus far. We're justifiably considered a pariah nation now, & neighboring states like NH are working hard to become pariah states within our nation (there's already a list of 'em I'll never willingly spend a nickel in again in my life).

i'd never seen this before, absolute GOLD www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftU5...

22 Short Films About Springfield first aired on 14th April 1996, making Steamed Hams thirty years old today.

Just read about New Order (and others) being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame today, and it casually mentioned a 1993 Top Of The Pops performance of Regret from the set of Baywatch, featuring The Hoff. And now I’ve seen it, so must you. Regret rien. youtu.be/JfI8pJQbcZQ?...

A movie couple that would definitely have a podcast.

Has to be this one, for my money. I don't think I've ever laughed harder at a tweet.

A Brit every time they say "Reliant."

This early CGI was done by the ILM team that would go on to become Pixar, and is so good the next two films play the tape again.

I'm generally sceptical of Kubrickian multiple takes as a technique, but it does actually help in this one specific case!

Walter Koenig getting his own plot and a massive promotion when he's literally the only one of The Gang of Four not in Space Seed.

Acknowledging Kirk's age is genuinely seen as the smartest thing they did, but what gets overlooked it does it in a very sophisticated way. He's slower and makes mistakes, but there's experience as well.

Though it's not automatically everyone's favourite, equally it's only real "The Motion Picture was the last time Star Trek was good" truthers who don't at least consider it very good, and it's definitely the only one of the 13 films to have a foothold in being considered proper Classic Cinema.

#TrekADay From hell's heart I skeet at thee. Rhe film from a producer and a director that had barely heard of Star Trek with a slashed budget that Nimoy only did to be killed off and all expected to be just getting a last bit of blood from the stone. They then made the film that saved Star Trek.

30-50 feral hippos...?

Lord have mercy on those who enact absolutely inhumane asylum policies, because I don't think I have the grace to have mercy on them myself, tbh.

Also, this is why I have absolutely no time for people online who say you can't be queer and Religious/Christian. This is the kind of thing that rhetoric enables, and it's actively harming vulnerable people in real life. Just because you can't be queer and religious, doesn't mean other people can't

Me: *screaming into the void* Void: New number who dis

Apart from the all-too-short "Stray", game manufacturers really haven't got into the market for video games where you interact with a cat yet. Surely a vast untapped goldmine! Maybe just me. 😻

I. I really do not want to wonder how bad things have got when the Islamic Republic of Iran is sending supportive tweets to the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church.

And sure, he may not have become Prime Minister (yet), but he did manage to rewrite a key aspect of the UK's constitution, wreck its economy and seriously weaken its defence and foreign policy

It's nearly *20* years since Nigel Farage became UKIP leader and he's been a key influencer in one way or another in British politics ever since

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.

I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap. I can’t believe it 😭

Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

Possibly the most chaotic newsletter I’ve published. Some people would suggest splitting the story about Pret sandwiches from the lengthy piece at the end about a council house sale to a Labour mayoral candidate. They are cowards. www.londoncentric.media/p/pret-corni...

Labour MPs say Angela Rayner is down, Andy Burnham is up. The House magazine's @siennarodgers.bsky.social reports on the obstacles on the Manchester mayor’s path to No 10 — and reveals the work his operation is doing now to overcome them

My tribute to the Artemis 2 crew in the style of Jack Kirby

But not the last television story written by Rona Munro, a fact that absolutely delights me.

Going through my archives and found this nifty Ty Templeton Batman sketch that is somehow over 30 years old, which is patently ridiculous.
