"And we now go live to the BBC."

My controversial view: good Doctor Who story, that.

FUN FACT: Sir Charles Curran was forced to resign as Director-General after Pyramids of Mars implied Sutekh, god of violence, was bad.

"Fezes... are not cool."

Think that's what he's saying anyway, the guy's screaming over him. Rude man.

Woke up too early and angry about the state of things, so naturally watching this.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Doctor Who,” or “Transformers".

I wouldn't say standards are slipping at BBC News, no.

A good test case for whether journalistic standards are slipping at the BBC, where an article veers between the authoritative, factual voice of one author and the irritating, faux-folksy gossip of the other.

People aged SO differently back in the day. For example, when Eric Elliott appeared in Doctor Who, he was only four months old.

The incredible things that happened thanks to Biddy Baxter, the imaginations lit up, the generations brought together by her work, and the lives saved and shaped by the Blue Peter appeals. The most amazing legacy. RIP.

If you see this, post a TV ident.

Ahh, go on then!

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me three or four times, you never fooled me.

20 years since its first step came to a perfect ending and made a teenage Wilderness Years fan very happy, thinking back once again to the trip of a lifetime.

My flat has had a truly beautiful week thanks to @hiddenbritain.bsky.social. The trouble was deciding which second to share a photo of.

Love it when Doctor Who fans post themselves carefully putting their new box set on the shelf like we don't all actually do this.

My new Doctor Who Blu-ray set arrived! (Except it's Season 25 because I sat on the fence when it came out, regretted it and leapt on new stock appearing. Season 7 also on its way!)

A job that simply shouldn't exist, and a waste of people's money.
