The secrecy is just to add some fun to it. “Yes, I’ve had some people killed, but who? Try and guess. You may find the real answers quite surprising!”

There’s that old saying, “Only the good die young.”

Is that why Kissinger died? He was no longer in a position to do enough evil things to top up his tank?

I’m very excited to see Gatwa’s take on the Doctor. Particularly I want to see him get angry. A good Doctor needs to be able to rage convincingly. Nine was great at it, Ten got better as he went along. I honestly never bought it coming from Eleven, which is one of the reasons I disliked the Matt Smith era. Twelve had…

It could just be that they find queerness an interesting direction for a character who’s entire thing is change and reinvention. I also don’t think one of the longest running sci-fi shows of all time, that is also a…

I’d have gone for an old standby, especially prevalent in the classic Simpsons reviews here:

As long as schools are still handling out a paddlin’ for infractions, I’m good.

Whatever your feelings about making out with (presumably attractive) strangers, doing it with 10 people in succession in front of, essentially, your employers sounds like nothing less than a chore.

Please refrain from tasting the mouse.

Plot twist: This time around, communism isn’t a red herring!

Mrs Peacock was a man?!

Some exec working on one of those sexy-people-on-a-beach reality TV shows: “So you’re saying the name Pussy Island is available?”

I was big into Pearl Jam back in the day, and this is a pretty solid list. I’d say ‘Animal’ is a glaring omission though.
