Yes, that’s true - instead of repairing her in the fully equipped shipyard where she was built, swapped over internal fittings and external fixtures, made alterations to the promenade deck and swore thousands of shipyard workers to absolute lifelong secrecy.
Wait, I thought that they sank Titanic because Olympic had crashed and couldn't be repaired, so they "repaired" Olympic and swapped everything over from Titanic in a few weeks in completely secrecy?
Plus, you know, it was supposedly carrying byzanium, so they'll need to raise it soon.

Incredible research, but of course, no match for some bloke covered in biscuit crumbs who knows for certain that JP Morgan sank the Olympic in its place by torpedoing her to hide all the gold it was carrying, thus starting WW1 and claiming the insurance money
For any Titanic nerds out there, my colleagues in the UCL Marine safety group have just published an astonishingly detailed analysis and supercomputer simulation of how Titanic sank, linked to witness statements & the best available evidence. Full paper here:

Interesting. We know that Ray Galton definitely had a Sony CV-2000 video recorder in July 1967 and was able to tape a few minutes of ‘Hancocks’ and ‘On the Margin’. Which means there’s a non-zero (but LOW) chance of a domestic recording of The Space Pirates out there.
An absolute favourite bit of lunancy. Some people dancing to incidental music from The Moonbase in 1966.

decades of "lol the french are cheese-eating surrender monkeys" seems funnier in a different way when you realise the french public will burn down the government if it even looks at them wrong while the american people are the most house-broken nation in existence

It’s this, but less ‘cancelled too soon’ I guess and more ‘writer disappeared in mysterious flying incident over Alaska in definitely not-spy-related circumstances’

You know what, this year? Spirited. Whole family genuinely loved it. Some cracking songs, doesn’t outstay its welcome. Kids love ‘Good Afternoon!’ and have been singing/yelling it at each other all Christmas. Strong reccomend.
