I feel like I should set some context about the Krankies. Jeanette Tough is one half of a husband-and-wife variety act from the 70s whose act consisted of her husband Iain playing an exasperated adult having to deal with ‘Wee Jimmy Krankie’, a ‘naughty schoolboy’, played by Jeanette. It was mainly toilet humour (‘cos,…

Man, big Van Damme looks like he knows he’s gonna have to roundhouse kick that fool in the face by the end of the evening...

Ciorstaidh, Beathag, Eachan, Seonaid, Domhnall, Caoimhe, Coinneach...

In Scots Gaelic it’s pronounced with a short first syllable. ‘Seer-sha’ doesn’t sound right to my ears. I assume it’s the same in Irish Gaelic, certainly whenever I've heard an interview with her, it sounds like that.

I maintain they must have to Calpol Judith up practically every day...

Leela begs to differ...

It’s quite Glaswegian (and a bit obscured by the music) but he says “If you were/are any part of killing her...”

Ugh. It’s taken me over a year to realise I need to properly cut ties with my shitty ex in order to get over him. Having stuff like this to hand would just make that realisation even more difficult...

I’d forgotten about that accent. I wish Hemsworth had too...

I assumed they were pseudonyms and the character’s real names would be revealed when they were cast...

Ha! It is a decidedly UK-biased post! :)

When I was about 9 or 10, my dad handed me his copy of The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy & told me he hoped I’d like it. I had never read anything like Douglas Adams’ works, but I knew instantly that this was my everything.

My claim to fame for many years was that I served Alice Cooper £8-worth of Pick ‘n’ Mix at my cinema as he was on his way to watch Wallace & Gromt: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit. We had a nice chat about fruit machines, and how Glaswegians call them ‘puggies’. Supremely nice human being.

My main takeaways from this episode are that a) Doctor Disco/Funkenstein could well be a Zygon in disguise, b) the Osgood box probably has Chekhov’s Anti-Zygon Gas in it (and here I thought Harry was only qualified to work on sailors), and c) Osgood dresses like I want to dress every day. I am (only slightly) ashamed…

To be fair, Rebecca Front’s absolutely RAGIN’ at them for doing it though. Maybe all they could muster together due to the ‘secrecy’ were the UNIT nOObs...

I miss the Cheetah People, but I assume that’s just me.....

I encourage, and approve of, this idea...

Be fair, most stories are sorely lacking in sentient trees. Even The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy only managed a bowl of petunias....

Can’t wait to see the Tower of Joy. All my years of R+L=J-stanning finally paying off! Also finally getting to the Kingsmoot, and maybe the return of Osha and Rickon, and, if I’ve been a very very good girl, maybe CLEGANE-BOWL!!

This is everything I never knew I wanted...
