An Egyptian TV presenter has been sentenced to one year of hard labour for interviewing a gay man last year.

Nice though. There's chocolate on the outside and a thin caramel layer. The middle's hard to describe, like a mixture of malteasers and nougat idk

30 year old degenerate table neighbour used to crave boost bars. Apparently they give you energy. I ate one once and it was powdery and was rather gross.

I used to like them. They're weird. Loads of gooey not-quite caramel stuff and chocolate powder in them, like it's an unfinished/ruined choccy.

Does anyone remember that mid 2000s show where two kids were kidnapped and the man and woman who kidnapped them lived in a really nice house in the country and fed them nice food and looked after them? Everything looked so nice and family like until the girl fed the cat a bit of toast and the man lost it and snapped the cat's back over his leg and it died.

Interesting how 2005 Doctor Who seemed heads and shoulders above the old series in terms of visuals when it came out, and now it doesn't even seem that much better than what they were doing in the late 80's.

I vividly remember that scene. It must have been between 2005-7.
There was also a scene where a detective could see supernatural things and she returned to her childhood home, closed the living room door and her mother who hanged herself was thrashing from behind the door gurning at her.

Well yeah, that was in large part down to the title sequence I'd bet, compare 2005 with 1989 and you'll see why. Back then it was all about new and flashy cgi instead of realism like now

The BBC were being difficult, and trying to kill it. Those last two series might be one of the overall strongest eras. Better than anything since Tom Baker anyway.

Yeah, it was longest run of sustained quality since Tom (although Davison and Colin had their moments, it was increasingly rare to get good episodes)
Must be JNT's fault (the Moffat of his era lmao) although his first series (Tom's last) was very good imo

Certain people at the BBC had a weird vendetta against science fiction throughout the 80's and 90's, and were trying their hardest to get rid of it because they thought it was silly, and would do things like slash the budget, or suddenly reschedule air dates.
Red Dwarf only really managed to exist at all because it was a sitcom, and because the creators stressed that it would be very cheap to produce.

The weird thing is that it did initially get a higher budget at the start of the 80s iirc, the 70s was actually a time of low budget episodes, but they seemed to blow it all on guest stars instead of making good episodes. Honestly I'm surprised it even survived Trial of a Time Lord

I think it was still getting enough viewers that they couldn't really justify just dropping it. They did kick Colin Baker though.

True. I always felt bad for Colin, he was literally told everything to do, what to wear, how to act etc. by the BBC, did it, and then when the BBC found out people didn't like it they blamed him and fired him. I always thought he was underrated tbh

I hear some of his audio dramas are really good. Only ever listened to one of them, which I liked.
You've also got The Stranger which is a shoestring budget fanseries he agreed to be in, which is kind of crap, but it's interesting to see a slightly more understated version of his character. And this happens.
