I encourage everyone to report and block the fake BBC account (@ britishbrodcastcorporation). It would be different if it was a joke account but it seems like they’re deliberately trying to deceive fandom blogs at our expense.

A guide to the C. B. Strike series
They're based on the books by Robert Galbraith (J. K. Rowling) which are Cormoran Strike novels.
There is one season, made by the British Broadcasting Company, per book. They're in the following order:
The Cuckoo's Calling, 3 episodes.
The Silkworm, 2 episodes.
Career of Evil, 2 episodes.
Lethal White, 4 episodes.
Troubled Blood, 4 episodes.
The sixth book, The Ink Black Heart, was released late in 2022 and I don't really expect them to start filming it until late 2023 or early 2024 at the earliest. That'd mean Season 6 might have to wait until 2024/2025.
Book 7, The Running Grave, is predicted to come late in 2023, although no release date has been published yet. It's unlikely that filming it starts any time before 2025.

I went through coverage of the teachers' strike and broke down just how much bullshit there is from broadcasters and newspapers alike, including the BBC
"That twist is followed by this chart:
Tumblr media
You can’t teach a lesson without planning a lesson; without marking you can’t tell how students are responding to and learning from teaching; your school can’t have data on pupil performance or function as an organisation without management and admin; interacting with pupils and parents is also an intrinsic part of teaching. ‘Other’ likely includes things like assisting with extra-curricular activities and taking part in professional development. All the chart demonstrates is that The Daily Telegraph is either ignorant about what teachers do or playing at ignorance in service of its ideology (I lean heavily towards the latter)..."
Read the rest here.

remember, it's important to convey skepticism about whether Indigenous peoples are telling the truth--it's all part of objective reporting!

what on earth happened to the BBC dude. I mean, I know the Tories gutted the thing, but I'm amazed that something this bad could get published.
Tumblr media
Guy goes into the NHS (UK's public healthcare department) and tells a doctor that he thinks ADHD is over diagnosed and that he's writing a piece about it. The doctor agrees. Then, KNOWING THIS BIAS, the reporter goes through the motions of getting checked for ADHD from the doctor, who of course says he doesn't have it.
Then the reporter (this is England, so his name is Rory) goes to three private practices to get ADHD diagnoses, simultaneously insisting that he is being honest with them while admitting that he's lying about his name. He gets diagnosed with ADHD three times in a row.
Somehow, this is news. Somehow, this is proof of something. Embarrassing dog excrement from the world's worst journalist culture.

An uncredited Jacqueline Hill appears as an unnamed Irish barmaid in The Vise: Death Pays No Dividends (1.5, ABC, 1954); in the UK, this episode wasn't seen until 1960 as part of ITV anthology The Crooked Path
#fave spotting#jacqueline hill#barbara wright#doctor who#the vise#classic doctor who#death pays no dividends#the crooked path#1954#classic tv#oof. ok. here goes. the story behind The Vise is needlessly convoluted and frankly absurdly confusing. the Danzigers were a pair of#American brothers who moved to the UK in the early 50s to produce tv film serials‚ The Vise being their first major production. the used#British casts‚ writers‚ crews and directors but the series was being explicitly made for American tv; the ABC mentioned above is not the#Associated British Cinemas group who were one of the big four franchise holders in UK television‚ but the American Broadcasting Company for#whom this series was being made and who transmitted it across the pond. there the series was The Vise‚ and then when recurring character#Mark Saber became popular‚ it was retooled as The Vise: Mark Saber and then again when the series later moved to NBC it became Saber of#London. despite being almost entirely a british production‚ The Vise was never seen here in that format; the episodes were split up and#appeared under various different anthology titles including The Crooked Path and Tension‚ sometimes not appearing on uk#screens until years later (if indeed they did all end up getting a uk showing). others were edited together into loose portmanteau films#for cinema release. Mark Saber‚ to add confusion upon confusion‚ was a pre existing character who'd been around for several years before#The Vise and had had his own series (albeit with a different star) already on American television (itself having gone through several#titles‚ including ABC Mystery Theatre and simply Mark Saber; that latterly being one of the titles which later Vise episodes went out under#back in the UK). i know. i know. my head hurts too.#regardless of the (very confusing) background‚ the series is quite a lot of fun and rather better than its reputation (it's true that#the Danzigers were businessmen first and artists a very distant second). it has an unmistakable wash of the USA about it despite featuring#almost zero americans (it has a host delivering to camera introductions‚ which feels very american‚ but even he's not a yank; Australian#actor Ron Randell got the gig and very good he is too). it also has a definite degree of luridness which I'm not certain UK tv was quite#ready for in 54 (stories typically involving adultery‚ blackmail and some really quite suggestive scene settings). poor Jac doesn't get#much of a part‚ but she does get a few lines (it's not unusual that she's still uncredited‚ with most Vise eps seeming to credit only 3 or#4 main players and of course Randell). her Irish accent is pretty good but she doesn't get any closeups alas

I think. Personally. It is annoying and bad that they had ghost bobby. After the triumph of Death's Door. If they wanted to symbolically show da boys Moving On then they coulda just done that. Having Bobby not be a physical ghost would be better for showing that even.
When I was recounting the finale to the captive audience of my sister 2 christmases ago she recalled that Pearl and Dean had 'a dad who was around too much' meaning Bobby. Which is a fundamental misunderstanding of the plot of supernatural but to me very funny.

If anyone in the notes revives the Superwholock Era "BBC has only one shirt" jokes, I am manifesting at their house and taking the batteries out of every single device they own.
Hi Neil ! I've noticed that Roland Blum's chair from The Good Fight is the same chair from Crowley's flat. Was that on purpose, or was it just a coincidence?
Tumblr media
There is only one chair on television.

Oh, I do fancy a Nanaimo Bar, now! Or rather, as it is very hot here, I fancy a generous slice of my Frozen Nanaimo Pie! I'll have to find Joyce Hardcastle's winning recipe when I return from my holiday, though!
