The Tennant 14th Doctor is the proper Doctor and any adventures with the Gatwa 15th are the product of a diseased mind. The last two series were show-run by a Tesalecta version of Russell T Davies operated by a crew of fans with a grudge against Ian Levine.

Yeah, that will be running, so people can recreate the moment, albeit at night illuminated by a tableau of Daleks.

This is very sad news. I think Tony’s appearance as Ensor in Blake’s 7 was the first time I became aware of him, and then a few years later he was really excellent as one of the main characters in the first series of Geoff McQueen’s Big Deal.

So like this is funnier and more offensive than anything anyone else said about Kirk that got them fired

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Trump on Charlie Kirk: "He was able to fight people that were enemies. And he didn't necessarily love those enemies so much. You know, I heard 'he loved his enemies' and I said, 'Wait a minute, is that the same Charlie that I knew? I'm not sure.' But I didn't want to get into it."

I've just realised QI is a sort of descendant-stroke-hybrid of Call My Bluff and Don't Ask Me. With a bit of How.

This has to stop. It's extrajudicial, extraterritorial mass murder.

Elsa kitty woke up and chose violence today. My mate runs her own wax melt business and Elsa decided she needed to be on the counter, unfortunately so did the freshly poured melts! She smells lovely!

Elsa the tabby cat with pink wax residue on her paws and belly fluff. She’s not hurt, just perfumed now.

Heartbroken that, per his social media accounts, Drew Struzan has left us. His poster and album art was quite simply shorthand for imagination for countless young people.

E.T. Adventure poster, 1990. I still have one of these hanging in my childhood bedroom.

Star Wars Special edition triptych, 1997. I remember seeing all of these in the paper as each film was re-released and just felt a burst of energy those mornings.

As fine a singles compilation as you could ask for. I do prefer the updated cover though.

I maintain "Election Day" is a superb single, and the parent album "So Red The Rose" is massively underappreciated. Just when you think the single can't get any better Grace Jones turns up. Just how 1985 can this be?

I absolutely adore this album. Saw Beth in her early solo gigs just prior to the release of "Trailer Park" and they were something special indeed. Of course being on Heavenly and working with Andy Weatherall helped in making her one of my fave artists.

Pop perfection. Out of them all, Suede really won the Britpop battle with having tune after tune from "Coming Up".
An album which is due it's 23rd deluxe edition next year on the anniversary. I'm sure Demon Music won't disappoint.

7 inch preferred as Stephen Hague irons out the rough spots Brothers in Rhythm left in their original mix. Flip it though for the magnificent italio-dance stomper "Music For Boys". Terrible video. That is all.
