Ducking Hell

Apparently Alan Cumming brought some "subtle" "suggestions" of James I's "rumoured" sexuality to his portrayal. I must have missed them under all the obvious references to him being gay, as is common knowledge.

This week's episode of Doctor Who really made you sit back and think about people working in terrible jobs. Those poor actors, having to share a set with Bradley Walsh and Lee Mack at the same time!

MacGyverising

I guess the real Demons of the Punjab were the friends we made along the way.

"The Tsuranga Conundrum" by Chris Chibnallbloody hell another one? That's half the series now and he's bound to write the finale and New Year special as well. Even Rusty Davies had let a couple of other people have a go by this point, although admittedly he completely rewrote anything with anyone else's name on it anyway, but even so, all Chibbers has done so far is graciously allow Malorie Blackman to share a credit with him on one episode.

Directed by Jennifer Perrott. Spoilers after the cut.

I've seen a few places say what a clever pun on Anarchy in the UK the title "Arachnids in the UK" is, which is handy because if it hadn't been pointed out to me I'd never have realised it was clever, I'd have thought it was really reaching for a weak pun that didn't quite work. And let's face it, if there's one thing I know about, it's weak puns that don't quite work.
