There's something to be said for a return of the 1966 format, where every story is a new ridiculously well known star as an often second or third tier villain from the comics.

The way they even set up a potential new No. 1 in Shelby really did sell the idea that Stewart might be leaving the series in a way few show's season ending cliffhangers have succeeded.

Reportedly he's actually been buying up tariff refund claims at 10c on the dollar, via friends and allies. So in the cases where he's done that, if he loses the tariff case he's making a 900% profit.

But, honestly, when else am I got to get a chance for 20mins face to face discussion with them in small groups?

In many ways, TRiE is like the organic equivalent of an AI search engine. Their brand is to have to an 'informed' industry insider's view about the story of the day so can never say 'dunno,' leading to these bullshit, manufactured hot takes, like an AI hallucination.

In the Irish version the maximum was only €25k but still possibly the most exciting edition I've seen. (Though people screwing each over left and right for those amounts possibly does say more about human nature too)

For a moment there I thought you were going to be reading every Time Team article in order, from the start, and writing up your reactions.

It doesn't even fit!

Not by Bluesky, no, but many are signed up to third party accounts that will message you whenever someone blocks you.

Suggesting they had no creative input overstating it a little. They gave notes at both script and edit stages and those notes were often acted upon (RTD talks about that in DWM)

But the key thing is, yes, they weren't *in charge* and just had similar input to BBCA, Sci-Fi Channel etc before them.

That's a genuinely amazing piece of text!

Amazingly Toksvig's character in the show was supposedly the old lady who owned the house, but they dialled back the dithering and makeup over a couple of seasons until it was like they were hoping audiences had simply forgot she was supposed to be in her 70s.

You've got to consider too how many of the 'right to leave' respondents are parsing the question in such a way their answer means 'it was a terrible disaster, but that's democracy for you,' rather than suggesting they'd actually oppose re-entry now.

I think they're probably very aware that no matter how difficult Welles was to work with, if he actually walked off the job it would be them getting the blame from the higher ups!

And I'm sure we'd get the usual panicked bluster about how, when it comes to quasi-political symbols, the obligatory poppies are different "because, ah, um, well, it just is, all right!"

It makes practically no sense whatsoever. And the notion that filming such a scene would automatically and unavoidably bar him or the production team from acknowledging the scene's existence is entirely your own invention with no basis in reality.

Hmm. You should probably try and avoid mutating random speculations by people on the internet into unequivocal statements of fact in your retelling of them.

That seems like brand new information to me. What's the source?
