At least we have a new emoji for President Pottymouth: 🤬

I’m shocked. Who would have thought he’d be such a pottymouth! Still, we have a new emoji for Mr T: 🤬

Are you talking specifically or generally? Personally, I’m somewhat in awe (not in a good way) with how much exposition landed in the season finale episodes of a certain long-running property last night… mentioning no names, obvs! 🙄

Meantime, what does their comic strip do for the next couple of years? Pivot over to see how Donna and 14 are keeping?

Thrilled to have an extract from my piece, S.P.M., on at #leedsplayhouse in a scratch night. Wondering who or what the S.P.M. is or the disturbing news visited upon Mary? Then be there to find out and to help develop this and four other pieces of new writing. www.leedsplayhouse.org.uk/event/scratch/

These have arrived! - the finished, hardback copies of a little book I've written about the joyfully unpredictable experience of producing Father Ted. Publication is Feb 20th but I'd like to give away two copies early - RT by Saturday 6pm and my dog Watson will pick the winners.

Probably best not to include the xerophyte in the salad then? Know any Androgums who can partake their culinary knowledge? Personally, the Vervoids give me the willies…

ardeear @ardeear.bsky.social · 17/12/2024
What I often wonder, in idle moments, is which plant species would win in a face-off (well, leaf-off): vervoids, krynoids, wolfweeds, seaweed, xerophytes, bell plants or varga plants - and,come to that, would all 7 on a plate be a healthy mixed salad (the xerophyte being de-prickled, obvs)? 🥗

I guessed it would be that (watch out for Corrie’s Alf Roberts) 🤓 however, my inner pedant just had to flag that there’s another - how shall we say, less appreciated? - version “out there”! 🤪

Then, at some point, the TARDIS is decommissioned, its chameleon circuit restored to ‘factory settings’. Put into storage, it’s found by Hartnell’s First Dr, his previous memories wiped. Clara knew all that when she urged him to that particular TARDIS. Ergo, continuity is maintained!
010
ardeear @ardeear.bsky.social · 23/11/2024
My take on why the TARDIS is a police box for the Fugitive Dr. In the future, when Dr Who airs its last ever episode, to save the TARDIS falling into the hands of whichever antagonist, the Dr sends it back beyond his own temporal event horizon to hide it and it’s found by a pre-Hartnell Dr. QED.

My earliest Who memory: the Doctor running across an alien landscape with a golden egg. (Later found to be The Dominators, part 5). Not long after: slightly hysterical when a Kroton zapped the TARDIS with dry ice. As for the next season and the Autons… screamed a department store down, I did… 😱

In Victorian England after-death photographs became a way of commemorating the dead and blunting the sharpness of grief.
