On a sidenote, "The rebel flesh"/" The almost people" were directed by Julian Simpson who has been developing a swathe of weird and very good audio dramas with the BBC over the past decade or so.

The tone of this interconnected "Pleasant Green universe" is very early-oughts Warren Ellis/Grant Morrison, with some fairly mind-boggling concepts that might appeal to Who fans.

For an easy gateway, look up "The Lovecraft investigations" in your podcast player πŸ™‚

I only watched the deleted scenes from this year's season now, and although it's brief there is also a Bill & Ted moment where Climax Ncuti literally hands Second Act Ncuti the preprogrammed referee whistle.

Not quite to the same level as in this trailer, but mostly a note that some of those deleted scenes are really good, and sometimes actually make more sense of the story...

"The faculty board"?

Edit: I found a (probably "AI" authored) source for my suggestion, which also suggests "staff", "panel" and "team", but those all sound so humdrum.

There are too many streamers, too much money and not everyone is watching so it can’t be financially viable

Don't bury the lede, Rusty. Tell us what you really think!

This, along with his acknowledgment a while back that Disney are dragging their feet renewing their distribution deal, sounds like quite the U-turn from this time last year.

I'm curious what other avenues of support the BBC and Bad Wolf could mine to keep even the current brief season productions coming?

You're right of course, any multi-Doctor episode is pretty good evidence that the Doctor isn't exactly their own biggest fan...

We haven't had a lot of that in 60+ years, have we? They met their former incarnations on several occasions, but not the same actor to the same degree.

OTOH I can only recall the Third Doctor trying to fix the TARDIS when Jo and his future self appeared in the doorway all of a sudden?

Ooh, that looks like a proper holiday romp. I'm still a little vague on who Joy is, so am expecting her to be a key to the plot somehow.

But the Doctor lassoing stuff from a moving train? Silurians and other dinosaurs? Keep it coming!

Interesting piece, didn't know about iOS stealth apps, and the ages of the accused certainly makes the news stand out β€”

β€” but can we talk about that hilariously bad "AI" generated picture they chose to illustrate it? That disembodied hand left of centre holding up the "iPhone"?

I do love markdown files myself, so a browser-side parser is very interesting. Definitely skips some Jekyll/Hugo exports πŸ™‚

Limiting that feature to IPFS is sort of one sided for my taste, though.
