My Biology Teacher and her boyfriend replaced Rhett and Link on Good Mythical Morning and turned the show into a Mythbusters ripoff.

I briefly worked at an arcade owned by a friend, and loved the idea of a space theme, so I made this alien fella as a mascot. It's since closed down and we've gone our separate ways, but I still think fondly of the early days when we'd plan to make our own games for the arcade.

The BBC's The Ministry of Time

It's clear that it's a rip-off of the Spanisht TV series "El ministerio del tiempo."

Like what do you mean the premise it's that a secret branch of the government reclutes historical figures to carry out its missions and there is romance between two of its agents?

Like,

You could have made it a little less obvious.

YOU COULD HAVE CHANGED THE BLOODY TITLE.

Did you seriously think nobody was going to notice!?

That the Spaniards don't use the internet or fucking twitter!?

Once again the British doing what they do best: Stealing from another culture.

I'm so mad I can't even type anymore.

And before any of you start, yes I checked the dates.

The book that the BBC is adapting came out or comes out this year 2024.

But the script was finished in 2023

The Spanish series came out in 2015.

Do you know what's funny?

The tweet that announced the BBC series had a community note calling out the plagiarism.

Now it's gone.

I swear to God, everytime I think that the British couldn't be worse they prove me wrong.

EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Edit: To any of you who think that it's possible that the BBC or the author may have already bought the rights of the original TV series:

They didn't.

Edit 2: So apparently the book is in Goodreads and some early readers who read it called out the obvious plagiarism of the Spanish TV series, some even saying that it was 'ridiculous'.

But it seems now that all of those reviews are 'disappearing'. Now the only evidence there is that even readers and people who have a Goodreads account knew about it are the screenshots on Twitter.

Also 'El Ministerio del Tiempo' was available for a while in Netflix UK.
