If the UK is on the brink of civil war, as Musk claims, it follows that in 300 years time there will be be a new generation of civil war re-enactment societies.

I join @toohot4tv.bsky.social to discuss Leekly, Gatiss, Roberts & Hickman. Not a law firm but four men who devised versions of a Doctor Who revival in the wilderness years? But would they have worked?

A week late, but I love that Rhea Seehorn's character in Vince Gilligan's (brilliant) Pluribus is a writer trying to move past their biggest hit.

'Lionesses in Winter' is my favourite of the Thirteenth Doctor Big Finishes so far. The royal family at Christmas set-up is a hoot, there's genuine pathos and Jodie Whittaker is clearly having a ball. Her and Mandip Gill get some genuinely wonderful moments of charm.

If you care about games, I hope you also care about the people who work hard and sacrifice so much to make them... Only to be tossed aside.
People Make Games is one approachable way to learn more - this video is about GTA, but check their backlog for more.

Die, My Love is a corker. Still and disquieting but bubbling over with a primal sexuality and rage. Jennifer Lawrence is astonishingly good.

The point is Panorama should have quoted Trump in full: "Look, we just have to accept it. I lost the election. This was a fair result, Biden won, and we must now have a peaceful transfer of power. You should all go home. I don't even know what you're all doing here. I certainly didn't invite you."
