His extensive archive is going to the University of Kent: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-50349634 Ah, panto. The opportunities for many generations of students to extensively research its history.....who we kidding?

Well, we find out tonight what the hell is going on. Only similar previously viewed baddies similar I can think of - Vardans (Invasion of Time). Though they were certainly camper than this lot. Hopefully though they are going for something new.

Lays into Greta Thunberg for having a different belief to him: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10666449/meat-loaf-climate-change-greta-thunberg/ Maybe it's time Meat Loaf covered Coldplay's The Scientist.

"the affects of his injury were clear as he carefully maneuvered himself off the pavement" Who writes this pish?

Had I stuck with Gertrude Himmelfarb.....that's three I dropped who have died all with QOs. Now I'm stuck with the Eternals.....

Show's officially cursed. 2016 - Gest 2017 - Chegwin 2018 - Troyer 2019 - McCririck 2020 - Acorah 2021 - L.Nolan? Busey? Random?

Slept on this. How come I can watch Bradley Walsh host Cash Trapped and The Chase all year and still believe he is Graham in the show? Because tbh, he is awesome and inspired casting. The great thing about Who is its self-referential nods to keep the fans happy. So for example, when they all appear with a change of wardrobe, why not start with a close up of their bow ties and zoom out, rather than do a boots up pan? Bow ties are cool, remember? I agree with the dialogue comments and the story telling points above. You know, sometimes you need to go outside the Doctor and companions and give us the audience a little insight that the characters don't have. Currently, it's like looking over the shoulder of someone playing a first person shooter game for the first play through without having read the booklet. We are still firmly in the territory established with New Who that the best of the whole thing is the last 5 minutes.

Day In The Death is Joey, I'm sure.

This won't be a war in the normal sense. Iran will attack via terrorism and proxies, gaining support from those whose grievances in the area have returned after Obama left office. So there's an explosion which kills say 2000 at a football stadium in the US. How does the US prove it was Iran, justifying retaliation?

What every weak leader potentially threatened with removal from office does - start a war. Get the plebs flag-waving, kill some of your military for the greater good, drag your allies along for the ride. However. Do the American people really want another involvement in a far off sandy land, possibly locked in to more terrorism on US soil? Given European leaders are at odds with Trump on the Iran deal, will they get involved? You know the blibbering numpty in Number 10 more likely to agree to anything the US does (hostage to Brexit/US trade deal), and the thought of the UK becoming a proxy battleground for this insane move is very worrying indeed. This is 10 times worse than Iraq. Maybe 100 times worse. Welcome to the 2020s.

Joker? Edit: Saw your follow up, never mind.

I was left baffled in its own self-indulgence. Slapping a few guest stars in only works if they are truly talented actors who can make you forget who they are. Lenny Henry and Stephen Fry are not those guys, with all due respect. Couldn't see beyond them...what was this, I said, fucking Comic Relief? And that bloody accent on Whitaker is broader than ever.....how American watchers can bear it without subtitles I have no idea, but I lived in 't North for 3 sodding years and I'm struggling. I'd like to know how (spoiler) survived their last appearance, however, historically there's always been an unexplained comeback with them. Who dem baddies? It better be better than previous attempts, yet to be seen. And I have a horrible feeling we are in for more story arcs which last the series and perhaps beyond. It's a device I absolutely despise, because the Doctor is timeless and mere blips in his story blown up to huge proportions (like fucking Bad Wolf) obscure the grand design of the show. I actually liked most of the last series. This opener was parody heavy to the extent of piss-taking the show itself. Imo.

Joker?

Sam Wyche apparently died today, according to Twitter. Awaiting the usual, for the inevitable "You don't live in Cleveland!" well now neither do you, Sam. Edit: https://www.wcpo.com/sports/bengals/former-cincinnati-bengals-coach-sam-wyche-dies-at-74

Cheers. Joker?

Genesis could be a good opening, Book. It's certainly the opening to the Good Book.

Nothing UK based here but report of the death of Marty Grebb, US Musician who was a keyboardist of The Buckinghams during their most successful period and later toured with Bonnie Raitt as a member of her band: https://slippedisc.com/2020/01/musicians-mourn-marty-74/ Kind Of A Drag (US Billboard #1 - 1967) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq1fpN1qWv8
