I saw this film when I was 14 and I didn’t sleep properly until I was 17. Not a single night.

UK, Australia and the United States have all elected dumbass right-wing populists over the past decade.
Yeah, put it in my eyeballs
Cats fucking rules. It's wild, trippy, constantly surprising and has a few decent tunes. Even the visuals are good, once your brain adjusts.
Most European schoolkids are stuck indefinitely at home, yet Disney+ doesn’t launch here until the 23rd. Big missed opportunity.
I read this novel (which I love) when it first came out. Bush, Cheney and the Patriot Act were the political background and the novel’s antisemitism was mostly metaphorical for other kinds of intolerence. It is beyond belief that we’re here 15 years later with a President who ran on Lindbergh’s actual slogan of…

Can’t wait for the movie version of this column, I hear it has a terrific cast.
She’s immortal now though. She’s Jack but with the power to regenerate rather than spend thousands of years as a floating head. There’s no known way to kill the Doctor — Timelord limits no longer apply.
I know "Phoebe Waller-Bridge" is the go-to solution for all writing problems, but she'd be an excellent showrunner. And Doctor.
I have rewatched In The Forest of the Night. I’ve even rewatched Love and Monsters a few times. You could put a gun to my head and I would still refuse to rewatch The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos.
“Fun” is the missing ingredient. I watched Smith and Jones last night for the first time in years. It’s not a standout episode by any means, but the comedy, energy and sheer charisma is head and shoulders above anything Chibnall has created. The Whittaker era is, even at its best, quite stodgy.

I think the speech at the end of Orphan 55 was the lowest point in that regard. The Doctor’s description of time, destiny and the future sounded like it was from an entirely different show.
The Doctor desperately tries to broker peace by showing his short film, “THE SILURIANS, A GREAT BUNCH OF LADS.”
That actually makes sense, although it’s pretty sloppy writing. Why awkwardly introduce a semi-magical McGuffin, explain its powers, have it transformed, and then explain its new powers, all in the space of twenty minutes? Why not start with “here’s a McGuffin and this is what it does”? See also: the Cyberium. There's…
On ongoing problem with nuWho is the increasing deification of The Doctor. RTD’s Doctor is a living god by the end who can make armies flee at the mention of his name. Moffatt (who wrote a lot of that) deconstructed the whole idea and knocked the Doctor down a few pegs, but he’s still basically nerfed.
- The Boundary always takes you to a random point in the universe. We’re stopping the show to explain this, so it’s safe to assume this is correct. No, wait, it’s a gateway to Gallifrey.
