So, I think when my editor asked me to do a long list of Tory policy screw ups since 2010, he was expecting something funny? The reality was... not particularly funny.

An (incomplete) list of every terrible policy the Conservatives have inflicted on Britain since 2010 | Jonn Elledgewww.theguardian.com Readers, brace yourselves, says the writer Jonn Elledge

I assumed that Sunak’s family was doing without Hindi Zee TV/Star rather than The Simpsons. Odd to think we could have a possible shared experience of a Desi 90s adolescence. Although the interview will probably make it clear that he resented waiting 6 years to Do the Bartman.

Ruby: Why didn’t we talk to George and Ringo? Doctor: They’re not song writers in 1963. Though George will write something. Ruby: What does he write? Doctor: Something. #DevilsChord #DoctorWho

Sending love to all my beautiful, brilliant trans & nonbinary friends this morning. You are amazing & inspiring. This world is so much richer & more wonderful for having you in it, being exactly the people you are. I hope the arc of the moral universe, though painfully long, will bend toward justice

This Easter weekend 6 year old has taken the opportunity to honour Our Father and his Daddy @cooraysmith.bsky.social

Wanted to share John Broadley’s magnificent Fawlty Towers tableau from the Quo Vadis menu.

Obviously they’re using Rebec’s spare scrunchies.

Happy 15th birthday to episode two of 'Marco Polo', 'The Singing Sands', which was shown on this day in 1964.

TIL that Renee Roberts (Miss Gatsby in Fawlty Towers) is grandmother to both Nicholas Frankau (Lt Carstairs in Allo Allo) and to Sam Bain (co-writer of Peep Show).

In case you missed it on the other place

Doctor: Enlightenment was not the diamond. Enlightenment was the choice. Tegan: So what was the diamond? Doctor: Well, ah, you're missing the point. The diamond was the diamond! What does it matter? Tegan: You don't know, do you? Doctor: Shut up!

One unforeseen consequence of tonight’s #DoctorWho is that the villain from Frontios is now called Mavis.

Is there a term for “low culture” things which become “high culture” over time? Thinking about the “banal, drivelling songs” Dennis Potter selected for Pennies from Heaven, which to me just sound…good?

Extermi-bakes for Doctor Who

Happy birthday Doctor Who.

Had a dream that Ian Levine had successfully commissioned Jim’ll Paint It for all of his remaining Missing Episode reconstructions.

For anyone coming to the Underwater Menace BFI screening next Saturday- at 8pm next door there’s a Douglas Adams event with John Lloyd, Caitlin Moran and Kevin Jon Davies, plus Neil Gaiman to celebrate Adams and a new book of his personal artefacts: www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/lit...

Reskeet if you think trans women are neat

Screenshot because I couldn’t put it better:

Idea: BBC blu-ray release of the complete Horse of the Year shows, accompanied by a booklet listing all the shows which were junked to save space for them.

Theory: “Mind probe” is Chancellery code for “Kill the prisoner and make it look like they were shot while escaping”. Which is why the Castellan loses it after being sufficiently in control of himself to throw off the guards’ hands after he’s arrested. #fivedoctors
