Not that it has much hope of swaying the TOWIE-addled execs at Channel 4, but if enough of us who care about quality drama (as opposed to vague PROMISES of quality drama) sign the following, maybe it'll send a message: https://www.change.org/p/channel-4-br…

Exactly my reaction.

I was livid, when the news broke yesterday ~ it was, by far, the best programme produced on British television. Still, if the public wants more shite like Derren Brown or 'Extreme Brat Camp', who am I to argue?

Earwax provides good protection against shampoo and crayons, but, as Leon Trotsky would attest...if he could...it is USELESS against icepicks.

...or at least some earmuffs.

I'm almost RIDICULOUSLY pleased they're allowing Capaldi more than one costume.

Omigawd ~ the E.T. glowing finger! You know, I'm pretty sure the toy for that, sold in pretty much every Dollar (then, 88 Cent) Store throughout America, doubled as a dildo for the cheap and desperate.

Oh, GAWD...'Dracula Vs. Frankenstein'. Watched it, for the first time, on WGN in New York, slack-jawed in disbelief. Then, a year or so later, watched it again. And the year after that. Eventually, it became an annual tradition, like Chinese takeaway and Godzilla movies on X-mas day. Unbelievably, mind-burningly…

Nehru jackets are NEVER out of date!

...like children aren't ALREADY monsters.

'And it what universe does that kid manage to miss Adrian Brody with every single bullet?' Obviously not one in which the actual physics of machine guns obtain.

Lemmy has rarely looked better.

Why's Voltron got a flask strapped to his leg?

Better still, a story penned by Ianucci.

So VERY happy to see that ~ it could only be bettered if Roger Allam (Peter Mannion, MP) were to suddenly turn up playing Rassilon!

Seeing some of these designs (before the ultimate disappointment of 'The Phantom Menace', itself) raised false hopes that it would be something extraordinary. It wasn't.

I can see these being worn.

'Nemesis the Warlock ~ the Television Series'. I'd watch it.

Nor did they intend to do the Watusi, but, going by this picture, they ended up doing that, too.
