What if the same is true of whenever River Song called The Doctor "Sweetie" in Doctor Who? What if "Sweetie" is his actual real name translated into English from Gallifreyan?

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Jury trials have been around for a long time. The ancient Athenians had them. The Magna Carta includes them. Now they’re just old hat. We should be extremely worried by rights being eroded.

I’m reading the DWM special on Terry Nation in a coffee shop. A guy behind me suddenly says “that takes me back! The Daleks!”
I’ve done my fannish duty of pointing him towards the iplayer so he can relive his childhood. He was around in 1964 so may have seen it.

VERY funny that Labour are being pointlessly cruel and haemorrhaging support from their base and yet none of what they're offering is ever going to be enough for the people whose approval they're seeking, WHO could have predicted it

As an anarchist I have a few issues with the BBC but I will defend it against this right wing attack. The attackers hardly stand for integrity in journalism or indeed balance.
