Slightly losing the plot watching this old Arena on Ken Dodd on BBC4, because I swear that’s a pile of #DoctorWho Target novelisations at the end there but the resolution’s too low for me to properly make them out.
I’m right though, ain’t I?

Apparently Spielberg asked Tom Stoppard to write the screenplay for Jaws, but Tom said he couldn’t as he was writing a play for the BBC.
"I'm offering you a fortune to collaborate with me on a Hollywood blockbuster, and you turn me down to write a play for BBC TV?"
"No," Tom said, "BBC Radio."

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

#Watching the 1970s film of The Great Gatsby, Robert Redford and all that. Didn’t know a thing about the story, never read the book. Currently very much at the ‘it’s severely trying my patience but I’ve invested way too much time in this thing not to see the job through’ stage.

It’s after midnight on a school night so I should definitely get my head down round about now OR, and bear with me on this, watch an episode of Out Of The Unknown based on a JG Ballard story on the themes of isolation and dehumanising brainwashing in outer space. Both fine options

Amazing work from the festival graphics team working hard, by hand, because they care.

We are now too close to the wall textures that you’re supposed to run past when doing medi pack and ammo pick-ups.
But we’re humans and this won’t do.

I am so IN i may never go out again, all my boxes ticked
Just noticed that Channel 4 has Anna and the Apocalypse available for free. It's the Scottish Christmas zombie musical comedy you didn't know you needed. It's seriously fun.

-around 2010, a bunch of teenage girls asked me if I was Doctor Who
-in 2001, a flatmate asked me if I was the person who’d invented LSD, because he could totally see that
-in the mid nineties, a bunch of youths outside a chipshop called me Jesus
Having difficulty choosing between all those tbh

Could Starmer watch a video on his phone with volume on full blast, no headphones, on a train, next please?
