I was going to dispute this. But it turns out that Maximiliano Bump was an unused substitute for Chile in 1962.

The front page headline on my town's weekly newspaper is about the "alarming" increase in online scams targeting the elderly, so by today's logic we'll be immediately banning all elderly people from all access to the apps where they get scammed. Right? Right?

In #StarTrek "Elementary, Dear Data", after her dalliance with Moriarty, Dr. Pulaski declares herself "full of crumpets". In the same episode, it is clarified that matter created on the holodeck cannot exist without. I have questions...

I feel I’ve been waiting all my life to be commissioned to write this feature about Space:1999 for today’s Telegraph.. www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/c7afbc1...

This Seventies TV show was Britain’s answer to Star Trek – until it wasn’t
At the time, Space: 1999 was the most expensive series ever made, but a US producer and pulpier plots saw it lose its way
