I’ve not seen the episode, but I’m sure it’s one that my dad mentioned to me recently. He’s very much a no-nonsense person, content for people to live however they want but with no interest in understanding lifestyles outside his own immediate experience. And yet he told me about this episode he’d ...

Wow... I know The Orville, and Seth Macfarlane in particular, isn't to everyone's taste, but I've just watched the S3 episode 'A Tale Of Two Topas', and it was simply outstanding. I'd liken it to the very best of ST:TNG, using the medium of science-fiction to address real-world issues without beatin...

Could we say half 7? I've told my other half I'd be free from half 8 now. We can try, good chance I'll be still eating/having to answer the door to collect food. Been trying to order something for me and the kids for over an hour, every time I put an order in 10 minutes later I get told there's no ...

Think I'm going to struggle to make it for 7. Late notice, I know, but any chance we can push it back to 8?

Oh man... we really need one of us to get this and then we can play a game this xmas...

Kung-po chicken-man will be reporting for duty

Not me, I won't be watching or following a minute of it, personally. A bunch of people I know through following football are doing the same too.
