And with that, time to call time on 31 seasons. Here’s to success for them in future.

But most importantly, a really good lesson that no matter how much time, energy and love you give to an organisation, it will only ever be a one way street, no matter how much it pretends to be for the people.

Also a good lesson that at certain scales, fan ownership is about making yourself feel more important, not representing the fans.

A good lesson over the last couple of days that some organisations have social media policies to ensure good behaviour and governance, and some to provide a figleaf for their members to hide behind.

inevitably, the dots

Just saw a promo for This Morning which has the various presenters running and larking about on the roof of TVC and got irrationally annoyed again at the building being turned into horrible flats.

Ah sod it, just give Toni all the awards now Meltzer. This is, legitimately, approaching all timer status of a gimmick. Also, absolute filth and silliness at every turn. Just perfect.

Happy May 4th…

I've just put a bundle of 16 assorted issues of TV Zone up on eBay. They are all Specials published between 1993 and 2002. All in very good nick apart from #24 Winter Special. Very handy archive of interviews and features on a wide range of UK and US cult telly. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15695515... #eBay

Took a wander down to the graffiti bit on the Clyde and this was my absolute favourite today

Looking forward to seeing all the Edinburgh dinner party set newsletter editors and middlebrow commentators explaining why the Rangers tifo was entirely acceptable this time.

God bless Toni

For a moment thought someone at iPlayer had massively fucked up and uploaded the finale early… Turns out it’s just Unleashed ep 4, and AppleTV handing the metadata weirdly.

Well, I guess we know now which version of Ryan Kent Sounders have signed. Death Star edition. This is going to be *fun*…

Streeting? They’ve put Streeting on the Sunday media round? Really?!

I think the big takeaway from last night’s Doctor Who is UNIT has now *twice* failed to notice a bunch of right wing nutters using the name Think Tank until it’s far too late. Probably time to start monitoring who owns the branding rights to Operation Golden Age, Kate, just in case…

someone told ChatGPT to replicate an image of The Rock without changing anything 100 times over

Good news for fans of independent cinema in Edinburgh. The Filmhouse (@filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social) plans on reopening in June! www.edinburghinquirer.co.uk/p/opening-th...

She works her (lovely) bottom off and her dedication to “the bit” is flawless. I am loving AEW at the moment in a way I just can’t with the other lot.

Good to see Dr Who finally tackling the real monsters in this universe: podcasters.

Well, that was tremendous. Sympathetically done, the tidying and grading to the VFX must have been a labour of love but makes a notable difference. Applause to the editors. This is the version Fox/Disney should be releasing.

I see Glasgow’s ongoing capitulation to architectural vandalism remains undeterred. Utterly despicable.

Right. Alien3 legacy edit then. Let’s be having you…

Hang on, where’s the sodding bear gone?

Oh I dunno. Maybe a comment or two to Cath, or perhaps to McKenna or any other of the myriad bigots your paper publishes celebrating the author’s views on a daily basis might be necessary. Just a thought, Neil.

And I, I, I, I, I I want to be, oh yes, The anarchy in Timperley Cos its the only way to be You know it is It really is.

Thinking yesterday there’s space for a great YouTube channel for ‘Actual therapist reacts to Deanna Troi’s counselling’… I wonder how many folk she left with greater trauma on the Enterprise than before they started seeing her?
