Dude, that's only in Mary Poppins films.

I believe early to mid-thirties. And you would think that a sexual relationship between a women in her early twenties and a man in his mid-thirties is unnatural, would you?

Does she actually have sex with all the people she dates? Harry Styles, who was one of them, says not.

The veneration that Americans have for SNL is mystifying.

Since when did the idea of someone in their early twenties desiring someone in their late teens become 'ick'?

Oooh, those were awful, weren't they? Except 'Live & Let Die'.

So this google-eyed poseur's bubble has burst, eh? Bring on the next annoyance!

Abso-fucking-lutley!

'Collapse'? Sorry, what language do you speak again?

Since you currently are and will likely remain a minor region of England, I say: no.

I thought it was pretty much generally accepted that the BBC had decided to kill off the series by slashing the production budget, rushing through cheap and nonsensical plots and simply jamming in episodes to fit the series length. I am with you on McCoy's genius and that he should have been the greatest Doctor of all.

Meera Syal's at least an of-centre choice but I think she's just not weighty enough for the role. Madhur Jaffrey thirty years ago, maybe.

I'm sorry but the Scots don't count as a nationality. They're a psychosis, a subset of the treason impulse.

There can only be one doctor.

Mexico, with or without Pancho Villa, would result in Mexico today.

I am disturbed by the way in which all the round-shouldered white males who want NuWho to be turned into a black man to prove their own progressive credentials: Why never a Chinese man? Or an Indian?

Agreed - McCoy was born to play the Doctor. And then he was undercut at every stage by the BBC until, whatever he did, his tenure was seen as one of the cheapest, stupidest and most trivial of all.

"But it's worth noting that while he namechecks other historical figures like Danton and the Girondins, the story never explains who they were or why they mattered. Without that level of detail, there’s very little sense of just what a complicated, contradictory mess the Revolution was…"

This sounds bad enough to be good.

Meh, don't be so prissy. It was funny in Henry Fielding's 'Tom Jones' (1749) and it was funny in Thomas Pynchon's 'V' (1963).
