Balanced & reasonable assessment of why Disney likely cut ties with Doctor Who. No knee-jerk, reactionary polar views from fandom or the Daily Heil's reporting.
Signing the deal at the peak of streaming expansion before the bubble burst is particularly interesting.

I'm guessing using a washing machine for cooking might be possible for a very watery soup or cleaning salad, but wouldn't want to try a baked potato or a Sunday Roast.

We got our own version of 'Thursday Murder Club' on NITFLIX, but it called 'THE MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY MURDER CLUB'.
It about a bunch of elderly Ogrons living in a retirement home.
But it less about SOLVING murders and more about PLANNING them!😁

Waiting for The Roses to start, I thought "seems rather soon to do a remake of War of the Roses".
It was 1989... 36 years ago.
There were only 26 years between Universal's Frankenstein & Hammer's Curse of Frankenstein.
Or from another perspective, I was still at University and now I've retired.

I almost fell out of love with Doctor Who after season 17.
Season 18 under an energetic JNT and a focused script editor in Christopher H Bidmead brought it back for me.
I loved Bidmead's vision and his stories. Logopolis remains in my top 10 of all time.
Farewell.

Scrolling through Reels and up pops a very serious looking man of around my age. He raises his hand and wiggles a finger and says "there's NOTHING worse than tight socks".

Unexpected graffiti as I strip the hall way back to the plaster.
It is *probably punk culture embracing the "shock" use of a swastika rather than a genuine Nazi thing. It did shock me... it was the first part I saw!
Then again I wonder if there was a builder called Nigel in Meltham c92?
