Sure they say he's dead, but the doctor reported going blind moments before the end, hearing a lot of shooting and then a quiet laugh, then his vision was restored and Darrow was nowhere to be seen.

They're also animating the episodes that do exist for The Faceless Ones.

Gareth Roberts has been removed from The Target Storybook not only because of fan backlash but because other writers refused to have their work included in the same book as him. People like Bethany Black and Paul Cornell are actively speaking out against him on Twitter.

Good to see one arm of the franchise doing what Big Finish and their friends seem to refuse to do.

Sad is to see some of the people stick by him too. And his "woe is me" statement was disgusting.

Hopefully he didn't depart with a scream.

I'll never forget that last episode of Blakes 7... Well, I kind of do because I was a bit too young to know what was going on, but my very stoic older brother went into absolute shock over it.

From stuff I’ve read it sounds a lot like Turn Left: The Series. True/false?

Pretty much, although there's no spaceship causing nuclear hellfire on London.

The two major themes are basically: a) late-stage capitalism continues being late-state capitalism and b) the technological singularity is closer on the horizon.

Today's episode has been more about the former.

e: Apparently, according to people who have their copies of The Writer's Tale to hand, it's more like Children of Earth but without the aliens.

The Nottingham branch actually has a really good selection of DVDs and blurays. I think the only place that has a wider choice is CEX, and there you know it's all stuff that's been down the back of a radiator for six months and repeatedly pissed on by a cat.

Plus all the stolen stuff - I was at the local CEX last year, during working hours on a weekday, and the guy at the head of the queue was selling 10 copies of Rogue One still shrinkwrapped, 4 or 5 copies of Black Panther shrinkwrapped, etc.

Oh for sure. When I was at Game I think we put off at least a few by asking for name and address for trade ins, and we didn't do cash. Cex is absolutely profiting from crime.

Oh, I spotted that! There's a few Who refs throughout Good Omens. Plus the whole thing feels like a multi-Doctor adventure with Ten and a Sheen Doctor of the 5/8 mould.

"There are no plans to recast Avon with a new actor."

That's actually kinda disappointing since it would cause Darrow to rise from his grave in a rage and then they could get him to record some new stuff.

It also makes a bizarre kind of sense that he would pop back up, because reality is falling apart so what's to stop him just blinking back into existence and going,"Welp, this situation looks ripe for me to get some of that sweet, sweet more life I wanted."

The Doctor Who Showrunners recieve 1000 new scripts a day*, every single one of which features the Daleks.


* This isn't new scripts total, just those sent in by Nick Briggs.

The impressive part is that each and every one of them are unique.

Sometimes they make one by accident and just change the Daleks to another alien.

Rumor has it that's how season 12 was made entirely.

I wish they could use the Murray Gold music in BF stuff. Jack’s theme in Torchwood is great.
