There's definitely room to recycle all the Bad Bob Booth strips.

Needs a Sensitive Klegg episode.

But we know that lots of stuff that Doctor Who rips off exists in the fiction, not least because they even included an on-screen checklist of sources in one of the later Christmas episodes.

"Much like when she resisted the mindwipe in “The Pilot,” she shows some sci-fi knowledge with her exacting standards as to what makes a good robot."

I'm imagining Guy Ritchie's version of 'A Field in England' and now I want to wash my brain in bleach.

"a few stories—“Warriors’ Gate” and “Ghost Light” chief among them—are brilliant precisely because they’re baffling"

"Marvel at its ability to convey the idea that it looks like someone cropped an upside-down DC logo before it was finished."

There's a reason she empathises so much with Bill Paterson's typewriter in 'Friendship's Death'.

"we have time travel as an element in the show, but it’s really conceived to be about the young H.G. Wells.”

That only makes sense if 'The Final Problem' was considerably poorer than 'The Six Thatchers', 'The Abominable Bride' and the entirety of series three, which it wasn't.

Hasn't Hollywood been doing this since the moment that various film producers realised that Edison would be too tight to stump up the train fares to send his baseball bat-wielding goons that far west?

Despite having no interest in 'Warcraft' I ended up seeing the film on a date, and I didn't think it was that bad. Utterly generic and pedestrian, true, but basically inoffensive and hardly a crime against cinema on the same scale as 'Batman v Superman'.

Or that he was defeated by Franz Liszt flying down from heaven in a music-powered spaceship to zap him.

Pope John Paul II had his own Marvel comic at one point. Disney is now only one degree of separation away from the IP rights to the pope's boss.

It didn't have - and still doesn't have - a mandate to archive its programming. The fact that it does is a combination of commercial, historical and aesthetic factors rather than because it has to.
