Naturally, being a time traveller, Doctor Who himself was giving us a clue here that we would all be very happy with the news on Friday.

Twats in comment sections going on about Dr Who before it was woke, obviously not remembering the episode where William Hartnell looks right down the camera and says 'And incidentally, a happy Bi Visibility Day to all of you at home!'

lan Levine's Doctor Who Group lan Levine • 2h Obviously I'm thrilled that part one and three of my all-time favourite Doctor Who story have successfully been returned. If this had happened three years ago, I would've not been able to sleep from excitement. But now I feel ambivalent. These two particular episodes, I have now done three separate times each. I was very satisfied with them. Of course the real thing is always the best, but it's only very recently that I redid them. The most interesting part of this will be to compare them. I hope that when you do, you will see that I was pretty close. Not perfect but pretty close. I'm now excited to see them again and just compare them for myself. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g7kwq1k110

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand he’s off.

long stretch of worked roman stone on Hadrian's Wall.

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it.

Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22

I am old enough to remember the vitriol directed at random humanities scholars' work complaining about the totalizing tendencies of capitalism to corrupt, colonize, or co-opt everything. I also lived long enough to read long term coverage of the literal attempt to privatize thinking in the newspaper

BBC headline - Wuthering Heights uni module given content warning for students

BBC iplayer, ep 4 of Wuthering Heights, neon pink banner with warning "Contains some violence and some upsetting scenes"

The BBC will be appalled to learn that the BBC also put content warnings on Wuthering Heights

I simply refuse to believe this isn’t a Chris Morris sketch:

A CG Set recreation of the studio layout of The Nightmare Begins. It shows a jungle set, the TARDIS interior set, the Earth Communications room and a room in the Dalek city.

Hadn't planned to post this today, but, y'know...
#DoctorWho The Daleks' Master Plan: The Nightmare Begins! TC3, 22nd October 1965. #CGSets
'Five Zero Alpha to Charlo Charlo Egan...'

Been saying ‘Hold it, sister!’ for 30+ years as a result of this (big screen) version. The screwdriver gag is doubly perfect.

Yesterday, there were 9 missing parts of Daleks Masterplan. Today, there are 7. By Monday we could be witnessing the full Feast of Steven.

Friday the 13th. Once again a great day to go see what that noise in the basement is. Have that care free sex. Assume the person in the mask is a friend messing around. Hell it’s only twenty years tonight since the strange murders it’d be fun to check out the abandoned house. You’re only young once.

"I'll give you one chance at honesty. Did you insinuate my wife was a prostitute on the Plymouth Herald comments section?

Can I wake up to more news like this please and thank you

Just had the pleasure of editing the Doctor Who Missing Episodes Wikipedia article so it says "95" where it used to say "97".

somehow this is the exact guy you would figure to have lost old doctor who eps

a while back a guy I knew was trying to justify having gone to Curtis Yarvin's wedding, and his girlfriend said "Don't you find him thrillingly contrarian' and I said 'That's how boring people excuse being racist'

congratulations to FIFA on their incredible choice of recipient for the first FIFA peace prize

Is this the same Andrew Neil who eviscerated Keir Starmer for not joining Trump's attack? It can't be, surely.

Only fair, it's not like the world is literally on fire and billions of people are becoming susceptible to the disinformation campaigns of tyrannical regimes.

Well done from everyone involved bravo.

vaxxed?

can this be a solution?

I thought this was depicting Starmer as the God Emperor of Dune

If beavers are woke, just call me the hungriest social justice warrior in the country!

The more I think about this story, the more emblematic of the problem with the modern right it becomes. Instead of doing the necessary hard work of noticing the consultation was happening, turning up and voting, they instead aren’t engaged and then decry result as the woke elite hating our country

It's telling how Green people keep trying to twist what Polanski did with Thypnoboobs stuff because it is entirely indefensible and speaks hugely to his character.

It's a puff piece. He is directly quoted saying his hypnosis can have a physical effect. He's lying to vulnerable women for publicity.
