I thought I'd try to psyche myself up for "The War Between the Land and the Sea" by finally watching the only Doctor Who spin-off I haven't seen yet.
...Yeah, I dunno, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I'm not sure if the Incomparable's "Total Party Kill" podcast could ever get Sara Pascoe on an episode, but she HAS played Dungeons and Dragons at least once (on a live-stream for Comic Relief) - and judging by this week's episode of QI, she has the right instincts for the game.

A big "Thank you" to this week's episode of Have I Got News For You; I've saved this screencap for when I eventually get around to playing Nier: Automata.

Randomly getting the urge to put on a #DoctorWho blu-ray.
The Bells of Saint John.
An underrated gem!
Smith is on a roll, Coleman adds a new energy to the show, the cinematography is excellent - especially how cool it makes London look - and Murray Gold’s music feels like James Bond meets Who.

All the talk I've seen about Dispatch, and so far I've seen NO-ONE else mention how similar its overall tone is to the TV show Archer.
Am I showing my age already? I wasn't planning to have a midlife crisis until next year, but this might actually trigger it early...

I hate to criticise a show like QI, but if I had my hand on the klaxon, I'd have deducted some points from Alan Davies for this.

What if A House of Dynamite had been made 25 years and two days ago, with lots of people on the phone? That's pretty much the answer provided by the opening scene of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2.
With a few invasions by armed airships and mechanical octopuses thrown in for good measure.
