You know, when they get the Pope results we've got to remember those are just the overnights and we'll have to wait a week for the consolidated... That joke started out feeling like it was going to be quite good but I lost heart halfway through.

If the Conclave ends in a dead heat, do they have a dance-off or sing-off?

When you're thinking about shots from 1960s 'Doctor Who' which are still astonishing even today... Many candidates, but this came to mind. #DoctorWho

Apparently 9m people in Sweden watch Great Moose Migration on TV every year and they're about to start Season 7. I bet they don't have a Facebook group dedicated to moaning how it was better in the old days, they preferred the colour of the old moose herds, the new producer should be sacked, etc.

I assume B*witched, Craig David, one of Girls Can't Catch, the least famous Sugababe, the guitarist from The Feeling, Eliza Doolittle and the drummer from Lawson are being lined up for 'Doctor In Distress 2025'. The Sun will run a campaign with virtual stickers. Pirate Radio 4 returns as a podcast.

The best kind of emails you get as an author are from accounts teams at schools you visited once about seven years ago, letting you know they’ve changed their invoicing process. Really warms the cockles.

Why is it 'We Are Detective' and not 'We Are Detectives'? And why is it 'I Eat Cannibal' in the lyrics but 'I Eat Cannibals' in the title? Do any other 80s songs do weird things with singular and plural?

These reality TV contestants' names are getting weirder every year.

Our #eurovision song is all right but I don't think all the gear-changes do it any favours. Maybe they'll do a great live performance and prove me wrong.

1) I have yawned my way through quite a few of the Historicals. Even more so where they only exist as recons. 2) Even with all the fascinating academic discourse around it, I still find it hard to take 'Kinda' seriously. 3) Gallifrey stuff bores me.

Enya has clearly seen both 'Horror of Fang Rock' and 'The Leisure Hive'.

I was quite enjoying 'Patience' until they just rocked up to the DI's son's school and started chatting to him in the playground, no visitor laminates, no signing-in, no safeguarding, nothing... 🤔 #Channel4 #patience

Were all of us straight 90s indie boys absolutely besotted with Harriet Wheeler? Oh, to be young again...

Strong 'female Doctor' energy on this video. Especially the bit where the Argolin Recreation Generator creates an army of multiple Enyas. #DoctorWho #Enya makeagif.com/gif/enya-any...

The family are watching some Sportsballing or other. Apparently this happens on Boxing Day. I am entertaining myself in other ways.

Every now and then a #DoctorWho fan will commit a labour of love so extraordinary. She's animated four missing episodes! İn a unique and endearing style! Wow. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Apparently one of the things which could be wrong with my pump is the 'impeller'. I've only ever encountered that word in one place before and it doesn't exactly reassure me.
