Re: BBC Doctor Who branded 'woke' and 'unwatchable' as TV ratings plummet following return to screens.

Here it is:

Elton: "We even have a bit of a love life"
Ursula: "Oh, let's not go into that...."

I mean, come on! We need to know how.

Re: BBC Doctor Who branded 'woke' and 'unwatchable' as TV ratings plummet following return to screens.

To this day i still have nightmares about the Ice Warriors. Anybody else psychologically scarred by Dr Who characters? I'm thinking about setting up a support group and possibly suing the BBC. Not a nightmare as such, but I keep thinking back to an early Tenant-era episode call Love & Monsters ...

Re: BBC Doctor Who branded 'woke' and 'unwatchable' as TV ratings plummet following return to screens.

If kids like it, then that's all that matters really. As I said, the only reason I ever watched it was because it was something I could watch with my kids when they were younger. I never actually watched it myself when I was a kid. The people banging on about Dr Who being ruined by woke do not watch...

Re: BBC Doctor Who branded 'woke' and 'unwatchable' as TV ratings plummet following return to screens.

The casting of Dr Who is important, but so is the writing. The Eccleston/Tennant/Smith era was fantastic. It managed to hit that television sweet spot, in that parents and kids could watch it together and each get something from it, while also offering something for the geeks. Each episode was well ...

Re: Israel

You know what I mean. Iraq, saudi. Bless you believe that second part Genuinely not getting what is disputable in that. It is an armed conflict. It is taking place within a high-density populated area. And, in such situations, there is always going to be civilian collateral. Putting aside whether s...

Re: Israel

And, as has been pointed out above, it's not indiscriminate. It's an intense urban armed conflict within high-density populated areas. Civilian causalities are unavoidable in such a scenario. You should present your evidence to the UN and the Yanks and tell them to wind their necks in then. ^Here's...

This was from page 13. Okay, we may be 58 pages over my prediction (give or take), but I reckon we’re almost there this time.

It's in the bag. Isn’t that what Napoleon said just before the battle of Waterloo ? Yeah, but this time it's different, because there's just no way Labour can f*ck this up and the Tories somehow sneak a surprise win. In fact, I reckon I may just liquidate my crypto holdings and lump it all on the n...

Re: Births Deaths And Marriages

Susan Backlinie has died aged 77. She was the skinny dipper who got eaten at the start of Jaws. What a great film, Spielberg’s first foray into movies? It is like a Western transported to the ocean. Good on Capitalism vs Humanity. RIP Susan. He directed two films before that; the brilliant Duel and...

Re: Eurovision watch

BTW, personally, I think this year's controversy has added an extra layer of spice to the competition. I'd therfore like to see some of the other competitors do some war before next year's final.

Re: Eurovision watch

Yeah, that's fair. But then you could also argue that the absence of jury votes for the Israeli song was suss too. It definitely wasn't the best song, but it was in the top 6.

As I said, autocracy vs democracy.

Zero points from the public. It wasn't terrible, but it had nothing great about it either.
