Embittered former member of Tony #Blair's entourage labels #Corbyn a communist. Apparently once a member of a naff #Beatles tribute band, on first-name terms with several of the Spice Girls. http://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/2402 -

Christopher Bidmead was brilliant at overseeing Tom Baker's last series, and commissioning for Davison's first. Saward fluked a run of good stories in Davison's last, but after that it was pretty dire till Andrew Cartmel turned it round for McCoy's last two years, which were effectively New Who on a fraction of the budget. #DrWho In conversation from microblog.mjd.id.au at 33°54'35"S 151°7'43"E permalink -

Producer JNT sincerely loved and believed in the show; he just didn't understand it, so was only really creatively involved in the staff christmas panto. The show lived or died on the merits of the script editor. #DrWho In conversation from microblog.mjd.id.au at 33°54'35"S 151°7'43"E permalink -

That's the script editor, Eric Saward. He didn't know what to do with Tardis scenes, so he had people bicker to pad out episodes. Davison did his best to play against it; it gets much worse once he leaves. #DrWho In conversation from microblog.mjd.id.au at 33°54'35"S 151°7'43"E permalink -

Don't know Jodie Whittaker from a bar of soap, but relieved to hear she's from further north than Camden Town. Tom Baker: Liverpool; McCoy: Dunoon; Eccleston: Salford; Capaldi: Glasgow. I rest my case. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2017/08/jodie-whittaker-tells-of-excitement-of.html #DrWho In conversation from microblog.mjd.id.au at 33°50'31"S 151°12'16"E permalink Attachments

Yep. AFAIK I'm knocking off at 10am tomorrow and not required at all the day after. Limited experience says that may change. When I know more I'll use that telephone thingy the kids have nowadays. In conversation from microblog.mjd.id.au at 33°50'31"S 151°12'16"E permalink -

I hate clickbait. I don't know who Lena Dunham is; why should I particularly care whether she, as opposed to anybody else, is racist? I am refusing to find out who she is. I can do this. Deep breaths. Stay calm. In conversation from microblog.mjd.id.au at 33°50'31"S 151°12'16"E permalink -

ATM I agree with #Varoufakis that although the #EU is fundamentally undemocratic it's strategically wiser to try to reform it from within. The terms of Maastricht and the Fiscal Compact are appalling, but as #Corbyn is toeing the neoliberal fully-costed-and-fiscally-responsible line, for the foreseeable future any #UK government will act as though they apply anyway.

Ooh, bad timing. Some nostalgia doesn't survive the contemporary reboot/barrel-scraping process unscathed. I don't think "Little Miss Doctor" would be an appropriately respectful addition to the range. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2017/08/dr-men-figurines-announced.html #DrWho In conversation from microblog.mjd.id.au at 33°51'40"S 151°11'53"E permalink Attachments

"[Progressives] link the good policies they want to 'we'll tax the rich to pay for it'. So when you point out we don't need to tax the rich to pay for it, they're just crestfallen because they want to tax the rich. So I say 'Of course we should tax the rich. Why? They're too rich.' You don't need any other argument than that." #q Randy Wray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWUckXyYHIY #MMT In conversation from microblog.mjd.id.au at 33°51'40"S 151°11'53"E permalink Attachments
