Play for Today: The Rank and File (BBC, 1971)

"I mean, the cry of a kiddie, the hungry kiddie, that means much more to me than all the laws and all the prisons in creation. I go along with Trotsky, that life is beautiful; that the future generation cleanses of all the oppression, violence and evil and - and enjoy it to the full."

'David Tennant hosted the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards and, during his opening monologue, took a jab at Donald Trump as he makes a presidential run in the U.S.

As Tennant looked around the room to acknowledge the different films nominated at the gala, he talked about Poor Things, the Yorgos Lanthimos-directed film starring Emma Stone.

“Poor Things, where a child’s brain is put in an adult’s body,” Tennant said. “And later this year, one of those may be reelected president.”

Tennant also gave a shoutout to Wonka, calling it “an absolute delight,” as it was “a film all about chocolate.”

“I think Wonka gave us all a Boost,” Tennant quipped, receiving a delayed laughter from the audience. “And a Twix, and a Crunchy and an Aero.”

He added, “You might need to explain that to some of our American friends. It’s about the name of chocolate bars, like Hershey’s but they taste nicer.”

The Doctor Who alum also mentioned Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, alleging that the “script went through a lot of rewrites.”

“I believe in the first draft, right in the last minute, Liam Neeson comes in and diffuses it,” he joked.

The ceremony couldn’t have missed acknowledging Barbie, who Tennant called “fantastic.”

“I keep thinking about poor-maligned Ken — brought to life by Ryan Gosling,” he said. “In the course of that film, Ken becomes a progressive, a champion of the marginalized, a voice for the oppressed. And if you squint at the end credits, you’ll even see Ken’s surname is actually Roache.”

Tennant was making reference to Coronation Street actor William Roache who plays Ken Barlow in the English soap...'

The one non-rodent of the Super Rodent Squad, give it up for Bita!

Bio under the cut.

Bita (Hopston) Merrimouser is the oldest of the Squad at 16, and is quite the sassy and confident girl. A lot of this is displayed when she is rocking out with her band, when throwing villains around with her super strength, or when dealing with peers at school. Sometimes it breaks when she's babbling to a boy she has a crush on, or getting annoyed with one of her siblings poking fun at her. One might think that having pink fur would be an insecurity, but it's something she holds with pride as something that makes her stand out.

Now while her siblings get under her skin and she often resents having to look after them because she's the oldest, she has a major protective streak in regards to said siblings. After losing her biological family to mobsters (an event she survived thanks to being empowered by the Great Comet earlier), she doesn't want anything horrible to happen to her new adoptive family, so you bet she's the one always taking the hardest hits meant for her siblings. Thanks to having extreme durability to the point of near invulnerability, she can take a lot of hits. Still, she is susceptible to poison, magic, drowning, and even electrical shocks, so she's not completely invincible.

Often, her strength is also displayed with a super leap and a super bite. The latter can be a problem, as she has to gnaw on some seriously tough rock and metal to keep her teeth in check (as rabbits do have that continuously growing teeth thing that rodents do).

She is considered one of the co-leaders of the Squad, alongside the oldest boy of the family, Iceham. Bita is more hotheaded in comparison to Iceham's more cool and composed personality, but she does have enough sense to not just randomly spring into action without a plan when it comes to more complicated missions. Still, Iceham does often hold her back when she's close to losing her temper and just pounding someone's face in. She's at least easier to reason with than the other hotheads in the family, and often is more of the enforcer while Iceham is the strategist. Though, her methods of enforcement depend on the age and personality of who she's dealing with (she's more likely to be harsher on Fireball or Electrex and gentler towards Apple or Destiny, with a middle point towards Lucia and Katie).

Bita's social life is a mixed bag of chillness and teenage drama. She has her band, The Lucky Feet, that consist of her and her two best friends Gina and Chilla, as well as a friend in a sweet cheerleader that helps her indulge in her more girly side. She does deal a lot with rival band the Incisors, headed by her neighbor Barlow Hutch, and many of the other cheerleaders and fashionistas are always trying to bring her down a peg--even though Bita is a known superhero and has bigger things to worry about than whatever the mean girls are doing. And, of course, there's her huge crush on the school track star Ken Usagi.

If nothing else, she's considered the cool big sister of the Squad, whether by her actual siblings or the city of Gnawpolis. She actually has a pretty good sense of humor about being the lagomorph in the Super Rodent Squad.

~~~

While her original inspiration was Blossom from The Powerpuff Girls (this is why she's pink), as you can see, she's moved pretty far from that, only having a token leadership role (that she ends up sharing anyway). As for her name, it was initially meant to allude to her super bite, which I had as one of only two powers (other being super leap) before I decided to just put those under a general "super strength" umbrella.
