Tell me your most unhinged Doctor Who opinion. I mean, if you’re a fan, they’re likely all unhinged anyway.

Glad you like it! You might like the 3 non-Mackintosh written episodes, though, so give them a go. Or not, up to you.

Ran out of Sandbaggers to watch. Well, save for the three episodes not written by Mackintosh, but there’s no call for them ‘cos they’re shite.

Honestly forgotten just how angry that smirking diseased scarecrow still makes me. Kneecapped the nation with Brexit, to get a job he refused to do, and got thousands killed. All while laughing at us.

“Disgraced Former” should be an officially recognised title, with sanctions and prison time.
