Thanks @HuwOliver, just downloaded the Yr app after reading your article! I'm surprised it's taken so long for this idea that weather apps are often misleading (and often inaccurate) - I've had many a discussion over the years about this.

@Nerdrotics 2 of 2. Star Wars has has plenty of correct fires in space, such as the Death Star exploding, which would have been a nuclear fuelled explosion. The flames (explosion) correctly were pushed out from the centre in all directions.

@Nerdrotics 1 of 2. You do not need oxygen as an oxidiser for a fire, but these flames are clearly those (colour and style) of an oxygen fuelled fire - the flames are also “rising”, as if the fire was on the surface of Earth or a similar gravitational planet and not in the Zero~G of space.

@earlygirly40 Starry Skies from the Captain!

@IanMacDJ This is all a bit clunky. It would have been easier to fit the Dalek with a rotating blade within its base, then it just looks like he’s strolling up and down the garden.

@bigboroboy @VisitKent I have to say, I much prefer your fact, Phil :-)

[Anton Vamplew @AntonVamplew]

@bigboroboy @VisitKent I think this might be an urban myth :-). Wasn’t it due to the fact the tiles for the pavement were baked in a ‘pan’-style mould?

@CanterburyGhost @VisitKent I believe it is iron and not sulphur in the spring water - I could be wrong! :-)

@BBCRadio2 Great choice!

[Anton Vamplew @AntonVamplew]

@andreagrandi @pCloudapp Fixed today. Yey! What robust systems you must have only to let us go without access to our files for only 24 hours! ;-)

[Anton Vamplew @AntonVamplew]

@pCloudapp @andreagrandi API is the acronym for Application Programming Interface for anyone else! :-) Thanks pCloud for the additional info. - at least you haven't gone out of business!

@O18118O55 @cryptopeye @pCloudapp Hi AI, no I've never experienced anything like this before.

@BillOddie You have a wonderful soul, Mr Oddie, and are always a joy to watch. Hope this long thread of well-wishers brightens the mood a little. The fact so many are mentioning The Goodies, just shows what you three achieved with your amazing talents. Here’s to future Oddie-Antics! :-)
