Not an annoyance, so much as an amusement. When a period piece shows a street with cars from the 1970s, the cars are clearly pristine collectors items, whereas cars at the time were dull and rusty if they were more than a year old.

DOCTOR WHO: TARDIS CREW. This looks fantastic. It's aimed at a pre-school audience. When I was that age I watched a Sci-fi series called Clangers which was about a group of knitted aliens who lived on a moon like planet. I adored it. Still do, really. www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-fea...

I have a general rule in my alcohol consumption: never drink wine that is cheaper than petrol. I had to fill up the car today. I may have to give up drinking.

Sky Deutschland have pulled the dedicated #LIVFUL stream at the last minute and I have been watching "some" of the game on "Goal Rush". It's like watching a pirate stream. I can't believe I have paid these frauds for "all games live". Better of with dodgy sticks. #Liverpool #YNWA

This was a spectacular sequence of play. Gakpo anticipated Isak's run and Isak anticipated the pass. Hopefully, that's the start of some real understanding developing between our players.

I can't believe that they are even contemplating this. A £2.8million saving is minuscule in a £10bn budget, but as the telescope is a Grade I listed building, they would just be passing an expensive white elephant to another government department. www.bbc.com/news/article...

We saw the new Spielberg film, Disclosure Day, last night. We very much enjoyed it. Music by John Williams as well. I wonder how many of these we can still look forward to? It feels like the twilight of a golden era of filmmakers.

I feel sorry for Arne Slot. No one can take last season's championship off him, and this season has seen him face some brutal bad luck. I'd hoped that he was going to turn it around, but it wasn't to be. Hopefully, he will bounce back. #YNWA #LFC www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

The Plague Dogs. I'm not sure how I missed this as I read the book as a kid but there were a lot of great films in 1982 that didn't do well commercially. Two dogs escape from a vivisection lab and try to survive in Cumbria. Beautifully animated, not exactly a kids' film. youtu.be/hKZuyCJhpaA?...

We are currently watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. A fun fact that I like about this film is that Mae Questel, who plays the somewhat dotty Aunt Bethany, was the voice of both Betty Boop and Olive Oyl. Once you know this, you can't unhear it.
