Is Nicholas Cage the only light source in your house?

I've thankfully never had proper flu & the only time I've had quite bad flu-like symptoms for a few days, it started within 24 hours of having the flu jab. That was 10+ years ago, when I worked for a firm who paid for the staff to have them. I haven't had one since and have been fine...up to now.

....and yet for however many years, that's exactly what The Doctor has been. I find it more of a leap, frankly, that after selecting so many similar human forms for so long, he suddenly ends up being totally different. Clearly just me, so I'll leave it there.

No, I don't and it's not (IMO) Don't be silly, I'm not saying that at all. I used to love Torchwood, which had a very diverse cast concerning gender, race & sexuality.

Really?. Age maybe but all have been white and male. There was a ginger one, I suppose, but that's about it. Maybe it's just me but other than allowing the BBC to tick the diversity box, I can't come up with a good reason for the change. And that's not just coming from nostalgia.

Bloomin heck that sounds familiar - and this probably belongs in the Emabarrassing moments thread.... I was also on a stag do in Leeds, on the Jaegerbombs and woke up in the middle of the night just as the hotel room door clicked closed (locked) in front of me. I was outside my room but had no way of getting back in - and was starkers. The lad I was meant to be sharing with had decided to get a cab home instead of staying over. I made my way down to reception but then I couldn't remember my room number. It didn't help that the room wasn't even booked in my name. I did know where my room was, so the poor bloke from the front desk had to accompany me back upstairs and let me in, after checking that the room was empty and had my bag in it. He did at least give me a magazine to cover myself up.

Why not? Part of the appeal of Doctor Who is nostalgia. Ever since I was cowering behind the cushion as a little kid, it's always been a male character. This isn't an anti-female thing. I love murder mysteries but I wouldn't want Miss Marple to become Mr Marple either.

I don't think I can get on with a female Doctor. I saw the first new episode & it just felt wrong. Not sure I'll bother with any more. That's not a sexist viewpoint. Barbara Broccoli was asked about a female Bond & she said "No, it's a male character". So is the Doctor.

Ghost Stories British film with Martin Freeman & Paul Whitehouse. Adapted from popular west end play. Supernatural sceptic & ghost de-bunker sets about investigating three "real" ghost experiences. Some creepy bits but, for me, the ending ruined it. 5/10

...and that’s why I was surprised to see Lawrence come on instead of Johnson when Bryson had to go off. Still, all’s well that ends well😎

Clough would have done it after 21seconds of this game though

Great goal from great Forsyth cross. COME ON!!!!

Can’t see he’s done anything wrong tonight.

Decent performance & entertaining game. Not sure why Johnson didn’t come on though. More negativity on here than is deserved imo.

Foghorn should have buried that
