    With the amount of sporting events being cancelled/rescheduled etc the BBC must be now going through their back catalogue to see what shows or movies they can air instead.

     

    Newest victim - London Marathon.

     

    Lot of the sporting events cancelled wouldn't have been on BBC anyway. Pretty annoying that our first FA Cup Quarter Final since 2006 could now be delayed up to 6 months.

    It is being said that the Government wants to cultivate a 'herd immunity' situation in the hope that most of the population get it, recover from it and build up an immunity to it.

    That will leave hospitals with a greater capacity to deal with those with bigger health problems, who contract it, and are in a more critical situation.

    This is why they are reluctant, or so it would seem, to bring in crowd control by banning large gatherings etc.

    I think.:blink:

     

     

     

    Herd immunity is bollocks. If 20% of the UK were to get infected, you'd still be looking at 120,000 deaths.......

    Will we ever see a budget that cuts the basic rate of income tax in addition to the personal allowance threshold going up....

     

    Fuck Richi Shunak

     

    At least I get a few quid a month ni cut. (Although this is going to have the adverse effect of reducing the number of contributory years for many part time workers)

    There was plenty of paracetamol when I was round the shops on Thursday.  But no ibu-pro-fen.  Guess the failed ibu-pro-fen buyers have snapped it all up.

     I always have plenty of both because of the stupid restrictions that stop you buying a 100 tab bottle, which is what I used to do.  So I tend to toss a couple of packs in the basket whenever I think of it so as not to run out.  

     

    Has anyone actually researched how many lives those restrictions have saved??

     

    If you want to kill yourself I can't see how having to cross road to other shop will be a big deterrent.

    Does that include people watching on iplayer, Netflix, BBC America and other streaming services?

     

    Looking at Wikipedia those are the same ratings roughly for Peter Capaldi's last run. I really think Doctor Who should go back to being on Saturday nights.

      

     

    It went to being on Sunday night due to achieving low ratings on a Saturday night.

     

    It needs to faff off with the canon, fan wanking stuff and go back to being a good old adventure story

    Most companions in new Who only go for 2 series, only ones who I can think of who lasted longer was Clara, Amy and Rory.

     

    I'm glad there is only at least one companion now because three was too many to build strong character development and Yaz is a fan favourite anyway. Bradley Walsh was just there as a token comedic character.

     

    There could still be three companions, I'd imagine at least two will be used. Anyway

    Doctor having past lives goes back to the 1970's to The Brain of Morbius where it was revealed Doctor had 8 previous regenerations. Not that i've seen that episode but i'm doing my research now based on what Twitter and Gallifrey Base are saying.

     

    I liked the episode though needs another watch because a lot happened.

     

    Her being a superpowered child from another dimension exploited and tested on by pre-tome Lord Gallifreyans is new.

    Sorry but the build up was too much and the programme was rubbish, I should never have gone back to it.

     

    I mean it's probably the most fanwank episode for a good 5 years, I liked it but there's a few things I'm not keen on. The whole Gallifrey things a bit 'and the next showrunner will rescue it....'.  and the Doctor coming from another dimension is just 'really?' ...

    Asterisk on Tom Smith please.

     

    Only one name in common! This should be interesting. I shall lose in an interesting way.

     

    You almost didn't have an opponent.

     

    That list was literally a D40 DDP scroll down of 'why not;'

    Jodie is still signed on for next series so it won't be her. There is still an option for The Master, Ruth or whoever this timeless child is to regenerate.

     



    Rumours online are Cybermen regenerating into Time Lords....

    If there’s one thing the Cup does on opening day is enlighten you as to your deficiencies as a researcher.
    12 of 16 teams have Trebek - Did I miss some tragic news or summat?  

     

    He's a DDP Drop Forty pick, what rock are you living under?

     

    He's had pancreatic cancer (read: tickling clock) for nearly a year?
