@sparta_usa The show’s history is so rich, I’d hate to lose all that. No show has a format as flexible as Who, so it’s uniquely placed to find a workaround for past missteps, but it will take a great showrunner and writers room to pull it off and restore the show’s credibility.

RTD: “I could have ended the last episode without Billie Piper, but I tossed that in, like a grenade, hoping it would force the BBC to keep me on. They haven’t. Now the show is fucked, thanks to me. Will the next lot change everything? I couldn’t give a fuck, frankly.” #DoctorWho

[Dr Macclevoid @edwhitfield]

Turns out "Bafflers" was space for bollocks. #DoctorWho

RTD: For the record: there was no script, I never wrote it. You may disagree; fine, sit in that chair and wait to be proved right. You'll wait a lonnng time.

Also RTD:

@ViepB87708 I remember thinking the same thing when Billie showed up.

[Dr Macclevoid @edwhitfield]

@straczynski If it's you, yes.

@HellsNotHotxx @SecondTil Ironically, he’s now given Dr Who creative AIDS.

[Dr Macclevoid @edwhitfield]

@batteredoldbook He almost sounded hopeful, didn’t he? Though he shouldn’t. If the next lot do destroy what’s left of the show he’ll be remembered as the man who enabled that vandalism.

[Dr Macclevoid @edwhitfield]

@SecondTil I was never very fond of RTD1 - it was broad for me, and the show only really took off in my mind when Moffat took over, but there’s no doubt he successfully relaunched the show. Now he’s killed it. Quite a turnaround.

[Dr Macclevoid @edwhitfield]

The RTD2 era is over. Christmas is cancelled, and the spectre of Billie Piper lingers like a dust cloud after a building collapse. Is there any way back for #DoctorWho? And what does the BBC and Rouselle's statement actually mean? Find out! #DrWho

Is it time to check in with Kat and Alfie and see how the whole “filling the Vic with love and happiness” thing is going? #EastEnders

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Imagine being a diehard fan of the Scary Movie series.

[Barry @BarryOnHere]

I watched the new Scary Movie last night.

As a DIEHARD fan of the series, I regret to inform it's very very bad.

[Dr Macclevoid @edwhitfield]

Wondering if #disclosureday will suffer the same fate as MOTU. Lots of upfront interest from eyes of a certain age, 0 from kids who don’t know who the fuck Spielberg is. Still, grosses could be topped up by fans of Michael Douglas thriller Disclosure, who think this is a sequel.

6% of the audience were kids.

Amazon MGM’s Kevin Wilson is pushing back on negative buzz surrounding the box office numbers for Masters of the Universe

Wilson called the opening a "very solid start," highlighting a "passionate, multigenerational audience response" and a massive 96% "definite recommend" from kids under 12 in PostTrak polls

The pop cultural moment we’re in are grown men taking to Twitter to encourage other grown men to see a film made for children that children have no interest in.

That said, #obsession is very good.

[Dr Macclevoid @edwhitfield]

It was good of Nicholas Galitzine to do it.

Me encantó este cameo en Masters of the Universe

[Dr Macclevoid @edwhitfield]

Hey kids, I wrote a #review of the @netflix double event, #themurderofrachelnickell and #thewitness, and how it ties to today's concerns around police competence.

[Dr Macclevoid @edwhitfield]

Maybe the clue as to Masters of the Universe’s durability as an IP was there in the box office for the Cannon 1987 flick. You can say it’s bad if you like, but it’s only 2 years on from the cartoon and it was already thought to be old hat. We’re now 40 years on from the peak. 🤔

[Dr Macclevoid @edwhitfield]

@maggieofthetown When it resembles one in tone and style?

Charlie Bucket's grandparents were a right set of malingering cunts.
