Most risque Simpsons joke imho is in Deep Space Homer: “Hello, President Clinton? I figured if anyone knew where to get some Tang, it’d be you.”
This is my point - most of today’s movie producers are Gen X. What’s in the cinema today is the output of Gen X. The Sonic movie that came out last week, for example, was greenlight by people who probably had a Sega Genesis when they were teens. Cultural stagnation is the fault of the grown-ups in the studio, not the…

No, I think she's Graham's ticket out of the show. He'll stay with her wherever she ends up.
People criticize Moffatt for being all setup and no payoff, but Chibnall can’t even do setup.
Ahem, Ireland is not in the UK.
The doctor never rides the TARDIS into battle (except when they do) which explains that one particular plothole, I guess.
