Came down here to say exactly that. One of my favourite films of all time.

I love the stories of them driving round (kids and dogs included) in a van and stopping in random places and asking if they can play (mostly at universities and colleges) and sometimes getting the answer “no”. I wonder how many 70s’ students missed out on seeing Paul McCartney live due to an over-officious administrato…

That’s less than a minute - you don’t have to exclude anything else to include that. The only track I find superfluous is Revolution 9, which is an interesting piece of work, but just doesn’t fit on an album like this.

I started off with little interest in this film, but the more I hear, the more inclined I am to maybe actually go to see it. The supporting cast sounds pretty great, and of course Hugh Grant is great fun in most things these days.

“...veer wildly between off-putting nonsense and some of the most transcendentally masterful television ever broadcast on the small-screen.”

His comic timing is woeful.

You could see Josh was gutted to have thrown it away on the last bake. He was far more consistent over the series, but the nature of the show is, as long as you never come last, and don’t come second to last in the final, you can win the whole thing. As ever with Bake Off - lovely people making lovely cakes and being…

Soaps also do it all the time (the most famous being the Dallas “dream” that wrote off an entire season).

It was hugely emotional at the time, but sadness and tragedy have their part in drama - otherwise the drama isn’t very dramatic. I’m glad to see her back but I never thought it needed “fixing”.

Most long-running shows/movie franchises with an element of sci-fi/the supernatural work like this. Mildly irritating, but nothing to get too upset about. (Apart from the Emperor coming back in RoS - people need to burn in hell for signing off on that).

Sad to say, I must be on my way.

Ironically (considering we are dealing with sci-fi writers) the answer is a “failure of the imagination”.

That’s a fair challenge.  I may well be making the mistake of assuming that there are more people who get upset about these things than there actually are.

Doctor Who gender or race-related blowback is really the pinnacle of idiocy. The character is an alien with two hearts who travels through time and space in a 60s-era British police phone box that’s bigger on the inside, and who literally regenerates periodically into somebody who looks entirely different. And this…

Ah - The Tortellis.  The show Frasier could have been.

You see this is one of the great things about increasing representation - I’d never have known that beforehand.

That exchange led to one of the best jokes of the episode : “yeah - I do that.”

Same here - I was lost by that exchange in the street but Donna’s conversation with her mum made it pretty clear.

Apart from when Rose’s non-binary status impacts the resolution of the meta crisis!

Plus she’s only just 20 (probably 19 when it was filmed) so hardly the most outrageous example. How old was Michael J Fox when he made Back to the Future?
