Not the early vote surge again? There was a lot of noise about that in 2024 and how it meant Kamala was going to sweep the board. Forgive me if I don't get my hopes up.

PJ and Duncan would beg to differ.

I bought Betty after hearing their track on the Judgment Night soundtrack, never got round to listening to it, unfortunately that was on cassette, so probably never will now.

I can't work out if that's Michael Douglas or Sigourney Weaver with a fake beard?

I'd be amazed if nobody at Viz had read the Master of Far-fetched Fiction.

In a change to our usual program, White Men Go On Holiday, we present "Clive Myrie gets paid to visit his family and everyone looks at him a bit funny". Today Clive demonstrates a complete inability to rub seasoning into meat, while a restaurant owner looks at him a bit funny, episode 7 of 36.

So it's a false flag operation but they managed to find a van load of mercenaries and a sniper apparently willing to die in the explosion? Righty-ho then!

How far through are you? So much to pull apart but don't want to spoil it for you (if that's even possible). I presume you haven't seen the final episode yet, as you wouldn't be able to stay silent about that!

Toby Fenn @thelhc.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
See, told you, you had to watch it, so bad it's bad, but you can't stop watching just to make sure you're not imagining just how bad it is!

I follow your Xitter account, can't imagine they're any angrier than you are! 😂 5'8 and genuinely seem to be happier than almost anyone else I know. Angry little men always seem to be 5'5 or under. Mind you most men seem to be stupidly angry regardless of height, in my experience.

Not as weird as a 12 year old not actually being a teenager though.

Makes sense, after all, 60 years ago they were only in their 40s.

You need to watch Trigger Point just for the completely idiotic denouement, can only assume they're now paying Vicky McClure so much money she doesn't care what the character does.

Toby Fenn @thelhc.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Trigger Point is mainly stupid because our Vicky is literally the only person in the show that knows how to do her job, everyone else in it is completely incompetent. People in Vigil appear to know what they're doing but they're all too boring to care about.

Club Sport for "daily duties" is idiotic, did they even have a radio, never mind air-con? I guess the 928 also doubles up as an estate car for tip runs. Or something.

Oh come on, you can hardly blame John Thaw, he was just playing a role in a TV show!

The campfire scene is one of my favourites, I'm a sucker for gentle male friendships it appears, it's everything that makes Star Trek... human.

"we all know Apollo 13 made it home"; this was on TV the other day, halfway through my partner turned to me and said "is this the first one that landed on the moon?" She's 60 years old and has two psychology related degrees.

It's under the desk I work at in the second bedroom. Brother colour laser printer incidentally, would never buy anything else now, it just works! It's like witchcraft or something.

For me, the weirdest thing about when he was doing Optimus Prime and Venger in the Transformers and DnD cartoons was that our parish priest at that time was called... Peter Cullen!

In the UK, probably because nobody here knows what Clue is?

It might be the truth (not much argument about that) but directing your ire against non-Americans is a misguided, at best, isn't it?

Toby Fenn @thelhc.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Just in case it isn't clear, Mike Sowden is not American.

Toby Fenn @thelhc.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
I think someone thinks you might be American.

Sorry, are we more concerned over her welfare or ours?

Toby Fenn @thelhc.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
Is she? I don't know who she is, or why I should care, more to the point.

Ah, that's because you think it was a Muppets parody, when in actual fact it was an homage to Dallas. Very sneaky.

The Dr Strange one? That really felt like a Marvel film, this one feels like a Spider-Man film.

*and, yes, I'm very aware the Spotify model is not sustainable for artists, I just don't think the continuous payment model for each piece of art is sustainable for the consumer. I'm happy to pay £15 for an album that 30 years on I'm still listening to, I wouldn't sign up to £2/month for each one.
001
Toby Fenn @thelhc.bsky.social · 16/08/2026
This is why I haven't even started with Patrons etc, it's one thing to pay £12 a month to listen to any album you like*, but to tell people they need to pay £2 a month, every month, per album that you listen to is a different proposition, sooner or later it's just too much .../cont

I didn't mind his first appearances as he was a young teenager at the time, so his deference to his elders was probably right, as you say, the character and the performance have grown in parallel.

Toby Fenn @thelhc.bsky.social · 16/08/2026
Yeah, I managed to go into it knowing nothing more than what was in the trailer (and I'm very glad my initial thought of who the villain might be was miles off!). Really enjoyed it, TH's best I think.

I guess you could maybe argue they were worried about her disappearing, so the relief in seeing her again might override their natural suspicions but, yeah, no.

You only need to watch one of them, there's no discernable difference between any of them.

When they do a "normal" episode we're all going to be sitting there wondering what genre they're pastiching this week, until we realise it's the "Star Trek" genre.

Yes that bit was rather unbelievable, mind you facial recognition systems on a planet that appeared to still have steam trains was a little strange. Guess the Klingons provided it.

The England team should learn Morris Dancing. Although I understand the governing body wouldn't actually allow them to do it if they did. They also mandate that the opposition must stand and watch, which is ridiculous, allowing one team to exert psychological pressure with no come back is wrong.

There's zero chance they didn't see it coming, so clearly they consider these women as "acceptable losses" in the pursuit of their ideology.

Toby Fenn @thelhc.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
Anyone who says "oh no, nobody would ever do that" should be automatically removed from any conversation, because if history has shown us nothing else, it's that humans ALWAYS descend to "that", if given the opportunity (whatever "that" is).

Exactly, he's a serious person, when he does loosen up, he's fun, but he's not like that on duty. I always felt he was an older, more experienced crew member, obviously has to start somewhere but yes, the SNW Scott is a long way from this one.

Ah, I'd forgotten that. Wondering now if I've actually seen all of the early episodes of disco.

Yes, I don't know why Scotty is always presented as a comedy figure. I guess he did get drunk once, but other than that the Americans just seem to find a Scottish character inherently amusing.
