WTF? Why on Gallifrey not? The Dr can be anyone upon a regeneration. Something you don’t like about a regeneration as a black person or dwarf?

I have been watching old Doctor Who recently, just to relive some of my childhood really.
It was always mostly rubbish, but I feel like its best years were John Pertwee and the first couple of seasons with Tom Baker.
Then it turned into something looking like a quasi Shakespeare play in space for the most part. The BBC historical wardrobe department got raided regularly.

The wokery of the recent episodes is laughable, and the BBC should be ashamed of itself for allowing such blatant propaganda in what is essentially a show for youngsters. Russell T Davis wants to turn the world gay, and the casting of non White people is farcical, especially when they are playing historical White people. That is just staggering hypocrisy.

I think Doctor Who has survived because it is very British, and that is quite rare in science fiction. Unfortunately, very British now includes ridiculous levels of wokery because of the kind of people that the BBC now employs.

I love this, true as well . . . [Link]

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Q. How many diverse characters does it take to change a light bulb.

A. None, they are too busy fighting the fascist racist Brexit scum.

Red dwarf yes but HHGG was surely written whilst pumped up with ket and vodka. The weirdest thing made around the time

It was. It was also a good read. Used to make me smile. I still have my copy.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Yeah, it was a bit of fun be it TV, radio or book, but I always got the feeling that Douglas Adams was a bit of an arrogant sod who felt that Sci fi was beneath him.

If you want real science fiction, read something like EON by Greg Bear and all its sequels. It's Arthur C Clarke on steroids.

if you want funny Sci Fi.....read Harry Harrison. 'Technicolor time machine' is a classic.

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

Bit of a BS story from the Mail about Licence Officers the bit that made me laugh was this.

"The then teenager joined the Liverpool team, largely made up of ex-military men and retired police officers, but her 'hunting ground' post-training became the areas of south and central Lancashire"

So she was based in Liverpool but they kept well away from it because Scousers are well known to be law abiding taxpayers.

There are lots of videos on YouTube about what to do if they call on you. No need for violence of threats just film them, they hate it.

I loved the balanced report on the BBC on Friday on the licence fee increase. "licence fee goes up by less than expected". Thanks guys - great news report. Presumably a story they didn't buy from Reuters or Sky.
