I mean, they still do a *monthly* Torchwood range, right? Genuinely fascinated to know at what number of sales that becomes unsustainable.

I guess the issue is that the audience who will reliably pay for enough things to make the venture sustainable... is what it is...

It does feel like a lot of the time I hear about a thing they're doing that sounds in principle appealing it immediately turns out to be this stuff.

I quite like the bit of it where I live but it really is a car-shagging borough.

lol at Redbridge being so low - there has been a lot of pissing and moaning about bus lanes they put in on one stretch of road for the SL2 (I can't find it now but I think I even saw one W Streeting saying he was going to write to TfL about it)

This was so buried at the bottom of a BBC News article about John Prescott I was like "Oh I guess there was another Lord Archer who was a bestselling novelist". He was also quite famous for some other stuff!!!!

The local Tesco is in the Daily Mail because some footage of shoplifters went viral and people in the comments are all saying "If I was there I would have stopped them like Batman".

Dreamt about a new Inside No 9 where the twist was after the episode you walked out your front door and Sheridan Smith was there singing a song about trans rights.

(though I reckon the novelty of the original broadcast format gave it *something* - has any other non-soap drama been broadcast on 5 consecutive nights? would be pointless now I guess)

I think if it was a 90 minute special and they'd got the cast they wanted it might have at least been enjoyably naff.

I thought this was actually alright, mainly because it isn't really about what it's ostensibly about.

Though it seems a bit unlikely that you'd be able to find 10 people to nominate and not one of them would be willing to be a paper candidate?

Not necessarily inclined to believe Reform had fake candidates but is it even plausibly possible? Seems like a problem if it is now the idea is in the air!

Haven't really listened to Radio 4 news coverage for years but this chap on now is unfortunately reminiscent of Gary Bellamy off Down The Line, especially the awkward exchange just now about whether or not he'd implied Neil Kinnock was pissed.

Love that people are very seriously going "well Sunak said he wasn't going to go anywhere any time soon" as though that means anything. Like what are you going to do if he turns round and goes "actually fuck this"? Write his name down in your little book?
