Ultramanc: A British retelling of Ultraman for the northern working classes. Grows to 200ft on a wheelie bin, fights kaiju in ASDA car park, recharges on brews and sausage barms. BBC-1, Sunday evenings, inexplicably followed by antiques.

As an Old Bastard™, AI primarily means 'Adobe Illustrator' to me, so this entire discourse requires a lot of cognitive effort.
