Good to see "whoever takes over Doctor Who should simply stop making bad episodes, how hard can it be?" takes continue.
Way too tall for the role, though, De Quincey was about five foot nothing.
The ending of Tip Toe hits hard today after what's been happening in Belfast.
Watching Tip Toe and looking up Paul Rhys trying to remember someone he was in. Discovered he once played Thomas de Quincey and thinking how great his intonation would be for the tone of Confessions of an English Opium-Eater.
Fascinating watching ITV trying to do iconic World Cup moments when for most of them the audience were watching on the BBC.
And anyone mentioning the Valeyard in story ideas is an instant rejection.
The BBC should be asking anyone pitching for the series "do you want to tell stories, or do you want to spend your time appeasing fans who will never be happy because you can't make any them eight years old again?"
"Whoever takes over Who will annoy fans if they don't explain Billie's appearance" and "we're having problems writing a Bond script becauae we have to deal with him dying in the last film" are prime exhibits in the case for why "canon" must die.
