I'm fine with Doctor Who contradicting itself and throwing plots away but undercutting one of the most beloved episodes of all time just to set up a location for the series 12 finale to happen at... baffling. I can handle the Timeless Child. I'll never be okay with this.
Wonderful idea from @EricIdle. Dementia is an awful hing that robs us of people and robs them of themselves in such a horrible way. Thanks @EricIdle. ❤️
Please join me in supporting
this wonderful idea. A statue of Terry in Colwyn Bay.
The idea for a statue came from Terry’s friends at Theatr Colwyn in Colwyn Bay. Terry was their first, and only, patron for some time. After we lost him to dementia in January 2020, they contacted us and asked if we thought a statue of Terry might be something we could help them with.
Born in Colwyn Bay, Terry never got over being transplanted to Surrey at the age of five. He fiercely proclaimed his Welshness in an accent straight out of Guildford. Terry would be so proud if a statue of him could encourage people to visit Colwyn Bay and continue his passion to help promote the arts in North Wales. The plan is to have a life size statue, sat on the promenade in Colwyn Bay not on a plinth but on the ground next to kids eating ice cream in the summer and brave souls donning wetsuits for a winter dip in the bay. We thought he would like it best if he was in character, something for people to recognise with a chuckle.
To make a donation please do so here https://t.co/4uawuadR81 Go Fund Me will guide you through the process, or if you would like to make it directly to the charity I can send you their details. We are at the very beginning of our campaign. We are hoping to succeed without public funding, and would love to raise £120,000 with the support of his friends and fans around the world. Colwyn Bay gave us Terry and we are hoping to give something back.
@RobertPicardo@X@StarTrek@RobertPicardo you made the weekday afternoons of my sister and I’d teenage years so brilliant and it’s a delight to see you making so so much sense and speaking so much truth to power. You are a legend and a brilliant human being! Thank you!
This is a story about how a reported antisemitism row involving comedian @reginalddhunter unfolded. If you've only read mainstream media you'll have a partial view. The story unravelled on social media and we now have much-needed context. It began with this in The Telegraph
On Thursday, the Film is Fabulous! team are removing the films from the estate of a deceased private film collector.
Several missing episodes and sole surviving film prints have already been identified.

Honestly - a few of the replies to this little tribute to engineering excellence exhibit a level of stupidity that suggests to me that it won’t be long before our spacecraft are the only thing that remains of our increasingly dim-witted civilisation. Until recently my guess has been that the answer to the Fermi Paradox might be found in biology - complex biological systems are rare. I’m increasingly of the view that the reason for The Great Silence is that civilisations are inevitably crushed by the weight of nobheads shortly after inventing the internet.
@TharriesYT Ignore them. Mental how grumpy people are online these days. I’m at physical doctor who meet-ups with @DrWhoGlasgow and whilst there’s different opinions everyone is jolly and celebrating.
