Can you imagine the sheer power that would be unleashed if Zach Polanski and Martin Lewis ran into each other and became one giant mega campaigner for fairness like Station in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey?

Fucking hell. He was killed off. You just therefore start again. New cast. Bond as an established agent. Bond as a rookie. Bond as an Old English Sheepdog. We don't give a shit. Just get on with it. How much more creative freedom does a production need?
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Alexei Sayle's Stuff (10th November 1988). Triffids do tend to turn up in the most unexpected places.
Fun fact - Andrew Marshall and David Renwick wanted to use a Dalek, but permission wasn't granted.

It's at this point you'd be expecting Starmer to step in and try to calm his best mate Trump down a bit, seeing as it's the BBC. But no. Not going to happen is it?

Of course, the main problem with the Corporation is that news thinks it's the reason the BBC exists. It isn't. In the formative years of the Corporation, news was a part of it, but it wasn't the main event. The BBC's reputation was only partially made by news. The other stuff matters more.

The departure of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness means the BBC is leaderless when it needs leadership more than ever. Where are the people at the head of the BBC standing up for it?

The BBC is facing a coordinated, politically motivated attack. With these resignations, it has given in | Jane Martinson
The corporation should have stood up to the Telegraph, Trump and the Tories. Now, its enemies know how little it takes for it to fold, says Jane Martinson, professor of financial journalism

Just absolutely classic BBC. You've just broadcast the most successful programme of the year, uniting Gen Z kids online and Boomers on broadcast in a return to appointment television. And instead of celebrating, your DG reigns due to a made-up right-wing scandal.

Davie didn't resign because the BBC misreported anything. He resigned because he didn't want to *defend* the BBC from right-wing criticism.
