Are you talking specifically or generally? Personally, I’m somewhat in awe (not in a good way) with how much exposition landed in the season finale episodes of a certain long-running property last night… mentioning no names, obvs! šŸ™„

Meantime, what does their comic strip do for the next couple of years? Pivot over to see how Donna and 14 are keeping?

Honey? Surely that adds up to Winnie the Pooh? Paddington only has eyes for marmalade! šŸ¤“

RISE was a fantastic start to Bradford’s year as the City of Culture. Here’s to what the rest of 2025 will bring. 🫶

The Elite is extraordinarily good, it uses an old foe in a very different way. Must look up Point of Entry!

Absolutely loved Enlightenment. The literal poetry of space ships. Cracking story. RIP Barbara 🫶

Was the pasty consumed outdoors? Food’s always better outdoors. Unless it’s belting down, obvs. No one likes a soggy pasty.

Probably best not to include the xerophyte in the salad then? Know any Androgums who can partake their culinary knowledge? Personally, the Vervoids give me the willies…
comment in response to post
What I often wonder, in idle moments, is which plant species would win in a face-off (well, leaf-off): vervoids, krynoids, wolfweeds, seaweed, xerophytes, bell plants or varga plants - and,come to that, would all 7 on a plate be a healthy mixed salad (the xerophyte being de-prickled, obvs)? šŸ„—

🄰 Is your internet browsing courtesy of Ceefax?
comment in response to post
I guessed it would be that (watch out for Corrie’s Alf Roberts) šŸ¤“ however, my inner pedant just had to flag that there’s another - how shall we say, less appreciated? - version ā€œout thereā€! 🤪
comment in response to post
The question is, which version?! šŸ˜Ž

Then, at some point, the TARDIS is decommissioned, its chameleon circuit restored to ā€˜factory settings’. Put into storage, it’s found by Hartnell’s First Dr, his previous memories wiped. Clara knew all that when she urged him to that particular TARDIS. Ergo, continuity is maintained!
comment in response to post
My take on why the TARDIS is a police box for the Fugitive Dr. In the future, when Dr Who airs its last ever episode, to save the TARDIS falling into the hands of whichever antagonist, the Dr sends it back beyond his own temporal event horizon to hide it and it’s found by a pre-Hartnell Dr. QED.

My earliest Who memory: the Doctor running across an alien landscape with a golden egg. (Later found to be The Dominators, part 5). Not long after: slightly hysterical when a Kroton zapped the TARDIS with dry ice. As for the next season and the Autons… screamed a department store down, I did… 😱

Goes to show there’s nothing new under the sun. The Victorians had a thing for posing for a picture with their recently departed nearest & dearest! 😵 Taken from life: Victorian death photos www.bbc.com/news/uk-engl...

In the event there’s an issue over availability for Michael Jackson’s physician, there’s always Matthew Perry’s: horse tranquillisers being a specialty, I gather. 🧐

I do hope so. Was blown away by their Oliver! last Christmas.

My entry into the lexicon: Mandog - for some reason, now lost on me, I used to love the theme tune… www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0kZ...
comment in response to post
Nope. Definitely don’t remember this one. Even after watching an episode on YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBD1... of which, apparently, 52 episodes were made between 1974 and 1978. Clearly, I wasn’t as glued to the box as I thought I was, way back when…

It’s a close call between The Silver Chair and the Magician’s Nephew. As a kid I was baffled and upset by The Last Battle while I found The Horse and His Boy hard to get along with. Looking forward to seeing The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe at Leeds Playhouse very soon. Complete kid at heart! 🦁
