the Peter Capaldi reveal was probably Chris's ace in the hole for the holiday livestream lol.

During the Christmas stream a police box is going to burst out of the sand and Peter Capaldi is going to walk out to say "has anyone called for a doctor".

Erin has already updated the UK tax credit form, allowing CIG to add some extra eligibility points for using a police box in their game.

SOMEONE, PRESUMABLY THE CROBBLER: Action!

QUINT: Hello and welcome to another edition of Showdown. I am your host, Eria Quint. Senator Kyle Polo stunned the Empire by withdrawing his bill for increased military cutbacks for senate consideration and will reintroduce the bill for public referendum. The move has sent shockwaves through the Empire. My guests come at the issue from two very different perspectives. My first guest is the host of the controversial opinion show Plain Truth. Please welcome Parker Tyrell.

TYRELL: Great to be here, [hell-ha-lah?]

QUINT: My second guest is decorated naval combat pilot, and current flight leader of the legendary Squadron 42: Commander Ryan Enright.

ENRIGHT: [bored, disinterested, sleepy?] Hi. Thanks for having me. Mister Tyrell.

QUINT: Commander, how has the... navy responded to this... development?

ENRIGHT: [as above] High Command has taken this very seriously. They understand the public, and Senator Polo's frustration. So, to defuse the situation and eliminate the need for the initiative, they have introduced a top-down mandate for all departments to quantify and justify their spending habits. Now, I know that people like Mister Tyrell have become critical of the UEE and and are hesitant to accept that there' is any--

TYRELL: [interrupting] First, I just want to clear up a big misconception here. I don't hate the UEE, I don't. What I am, eh, ah, critical of, as you say is this sea of lies in which we seem to be drowning. Sorry, is something funny here?

ENRIGHT: Sorry, you're just doing your, eh... [sounds like he's choking on his own saliva]

TYRELL: ...what?

ENRIGHT: I enjoy your show, sorry, carry on.

TYRELL: You enjoy my show? Thank you very much. That's a delight to know that Squadron 42 is tuning in. Ehm, the Polo Initiative is in the right direction. To me, the idea that we can finally force the military to end the rampant corruption and unchecked spending that, unfortunately, has become its defining characteristic is very, very welcome.

ENRIGHT: I don't think that's entirely fair. There's a very real danger here exposing potentially sensitive ops...

TYRELL: Right, okay, yeah. Sensitive... or illegal?

ENRIGHT: ...what?

TYRELL: Thank you. That look right there, there it is. That's the issue -- you gave it away. If High Command is so terrified to let elected officials look behind the curtain then there's clearly something going on that they'd rather keep quiet. So! To me, the Polo Initiative is not just about money, it's about accountability. It's about ascribing consequence to your actions. It's about letting the people know what you're really up to.

ENRIGHT: I understand, Mr Tyrell, but looking at line items in a budget and the reality of the situation? Are two very different things.

TYRELL: Oh, right, because a simple civilian couldn't understand the MASSIVE EPIC COMPLEXITY [Enright snorts] of what the military does!

ENRIGHT: That's not what I said.

TYRELL: I might be a simple commoner to you but fifty million credits? For a new type of rivet? That sounds to me ridiculous.

QUINT: You are referring to the leaked comm exchange alledging that naval RnD attempted to develop a new proprietal rivet--

TYRELL: It's not alleged.

QUINT: --for, for their ships.

TYRELL: Yes, it's true. It's not just a a-ah-ah-uh an accusation. It's absolutely fact.

QUINT: Commander?

ENRIGHT: I'm a pilot. I don't deal in rivets.

TYRELL: Right, okay, fair enough. But will you then concede that High Command must be held to the same fiscal accountability as the other branches?

ENRIGHT: Well, no.

TYRELL: Right, okay then, it's holding the Empire hostage. These are the same kinds of tactics that Iver Messer pulled before he seized--

ENRIGHT: Woah, woah, woah. How did we get to Messer?

TYRELL: Yeah, because I see a military content to spend billions of credits on RIVETS! And new lasers! When there are people on Ferrun who haven't got enough to eat, who can't get food on their plate! I don't think that's a crazy comparison.

ENRIGHT: I get it.

TYRELL: It's easy to run away with it--

ENRIGHT: [thumping the table? shouting] NO! Stop. You need to understand that a ten percent budget cut is not as simple as you think. It means less patrols, and that means less security. As soon as the Vanduul and the criminals realise this... they will... exploit it.

TYRELL: Here we go, Eria. I was wondering how long he would take to get to this argument. This is the classic military smokescreen they have been using for centuries! It won't work! Vanduul attacks are down! Some scholars even believe that the pattern of attacks might indicate a cessation of hostilities altogether.

ENRIGHT: You're talking about Harbinger's study?

TYRELL: Yep.

ENRIGHT: He's wrong. Vanduul inactivity is not a sign of victory. They hit us on their terms, not ours. They have dictated the pace of this conflict. [pause] They won't stop because we haven't forced them to. [pause] They don't see us... as a threat.

TYRELL: So what do you suggest? Keep the status quo, starve our populace, so we can wipe out an alien species?

ENRIGHT: No to the first two. Yes to the third.

[long pause]

TYRELL: You want to exterminate them?

ENRIGHT: Absolutely.

[another long pause]

TYRELL: Is it too late to start the Messer comparisons now?

ENRIGHT: Says the man who makes a living manipulating the public.

TYRELL: Hey, I do not manipulate anyone--

QUINT: We- we-

TYRELL: --All I do is tell the plain truth and if you don't--

QUINT --need to take a quick break--

TYRELL: --like hearing it then that might be a problem with--

QUINT: --when we come back, we'll be getting, uh, we'll be getting our guests through the rapid fire round and getting their opinions on all the hot topics of the week. All that, and more, on Showdown.

SOMEONE, PRESUMABLY CROBBLER: And cut!

Capaldi (Tyrell) can't do much with a horrible script. Enright sounds like a high school play. Quint basically doesn't exist. If it wasn't obvious before that Crobbler needs an editor then, well, it should be now. It's garbage on every level.

It's probably a dull recreation of some scene in a sci-fi movie he watched ten years ago. It does have the feeling of 80s era schlock. Anachronistic but probably fine for a bit of flavor playing in the background.
