I think I just watched a modern day backstory of Professor Brett, unleashing an army of Mini flying War Machines. “Vienna is the first capital to be taken over, followed by Berlin and Brussels”?
Friday nights are best spent waiting for deliveries that can’t climb fences and watching a dust-up between Robert Kee and “constitutional expert” Sir Barnett Cocks during the aftermath of the Feb 1974 General Election.

We know it's serious when they cut from Bargain Hunt, it went so well in September 2022...
The sequel to Sudetenland; Snow White Danish Land. Emphasis on Danish.
Bookmarked for when I get to the end of my first run through, which has made my December and January.
“If your blood was bluer, you could sign on and start earning your keep!”
90 volumes; six plus boxes, the heaviest thing I had to move when moving house. Don't plan on doing that again anytime soon.
Glad to know we'll reach 100 years of the General Strike next year, the making of the BBC in trying to be impartial, with potentially the opposite effect taking place instead with whatever happens that year. History can be like that.
First awful person to ring the switchboard wins a prize, evidently.
Reminder that actions of the individual were proven to be criminal (read not legal).
My god, we’re resurrecting the “I’ve been speaking with one of the French governments” joke from the Goon Show.
The creeping bus-known?
Oh, alright then.
@wheezingpod.bsky.social time to throw out a vote in the British Podcast awards for these folks. #BritishPodcastAwards.
“There is a GOLDEN THREAD in Shire Justice…”
Adam Adamant Dies. Of course, he lived long enough that no paper will ever have that headline. Shame really. Only just listened to him in “The Lost World”.
I’ve got a joke about episode 5 of the 1965 story the Chase, but if I tell it, it will be the Death of Doctor Who.
I had never been so red faced with anger and embarrassment before. Only slightly better than my mental breakdown with Timeless Children 5 years ago. If we’re lucky, it won’t come back for 5 years.
“They should have locked you in a padded cell.” - Mark of the Rani, 1985
Still, could be worse.
Metaphor for Hollywood?
“You’re privileged, Maxil. It’s given to very few to supervise the inebriation of a Time Lord.”
“Bean.”
“Hardin? Have a bum.”
From the last Beyond Our Ken: “bugler! Sound the retreat!”
“There is no bugle call for retreat!”
“Sound the advance backwards!”
Fuck, Claudius
A kick up someone’s charged vacuum emboitment doesn’t go amiss.
We stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦
“One hand stretched in friendship, the other on your sword.”
“The drone will always get through” - Baldwin, 1932, probably, because history doesn’t repeat itself, but people always do.
Rearmament, anyone?
Time to dig out the 1940 hit “Guilty Men” by the Cato group.
Planet: Part of the 10th anniversary, this romp is Nation’s “guess the Vietnam war was a thing” / “rumble in the jungle”. Another example of a six parter which could’ve been a tighter four. Oh look, you found Bernard Horsfall again! 75 Tet Offensives, sponsored by Fred Emney / 100. Love the show.
