The album isn't a highlight of their career by any stretch of the imagination. It's wierdly humourless for a band who often loved the cheeky, impish side of things.

A balm for you, good sir.

People seem determined to see greatness in it, despite the fact it's not really there, it's just something everyone's decided on. If everyone says the Emperor's dressed, well he must be. Right?

144. Morrissey, Years of Refusal

Yes it is.

Eh,I think Kid A might be the most Emperor's New Clothes album there is, but worst 150? It's almost as if they're trying to provoke a reaction!

OK, fine, this is incredibly stupid, except for all the ones I like.

Since she's said she's gone, it's not so much pretty obvious as "actually confirmed".

Well, Rassilon's still out there and he's a bit of a dick…

Earlier than Romana - there's that one Time Lady traffic controller in The Invasion of Time!

Nothing screamed "set up!" like that line. I loved it, and I love that it turns out that's what it was. Fabulous!

You can't win, so just ignore it. When the announcement was made a few days ago that the big reveal would be after Wimbeldon, even here on the AV Club there were loads of deeply cynical "eh, it'll be a white man" comment again, then when it turns out it isn't, people moan that it's all too PC. Fuck em. Just enjoy a…

I think this is a really, really solid choice. It's never the odds-on favourite when it comes to these things, and while I'd have loved to see Tilda doing it, that's clearly insane and impossible. This seems like an excellent way to go - very excited now.

Season Three is a massive return to form, we get a lot of time with Tennant and Colmean actually getting to be in scenes together, and it's a solid conclusion. It's not quite 100% perfect, in particular the Danny sub-plot around his still-grieving father have no need to be in this whatsoever, and Rory, um the vicar,…

That was more convoluted that the Time War. There's no way she (or anyone) could sort that mess out.

I really, really don't want it to be Siddig. if it's going to be a male then I'm 100% for a PoC, but Siddig just brings too much baggage to be given a fair crack of the whip (see also: Scott Bakula in Enterprise).

Look, I don't want it to be Marshall any more than the rest of you, but Love, Actually (apart from being a fucking awful film) was fourteen years ago. It's possible for people to improve. I'm glad people aren't still using my writing from fourteen years ago to judge me now…

Nil.

Accents for everyone!
