The state of higher education in the UK, in a photo
Have been advised that I might want to head home earlier today because there's a Farage riot planned for central Portsmouth. But these are the guys who want to make the streets safe, right?
Hey! Some of us like our Portsmouth graduates!

I'm not convinced that Russell T Davies revived *Doctor Who* in the first place. In early nuWho you'd get a run of mediocre RTD episodes and wonder if it was really worth it, and then a Gatiss or Shearman or Moffat would turn up to bring you back in.
Look at these! Also, I didn't realise that Dover had their own edition of *The Mystery of a Hansom Cab* (I used the Hogarth edition for *Purity and Contamination*) but it's not at all surprising.
Anyway, my manifesto for bringing back *Doctor Who*:
- Go back to horror and the uncanny.
- No wisecracking. It's not a sitcom.
- Get rid of the grinding orchestral schmaltz and bring in more avant-garde soundtracks. The show should sound weird.
- Cliffhangers.
Cardiff was once a great university, and U of Wales once a visionary university system. This is grim, the senior management and bosses at Cardiff are (rich) vandals, and the Cardiff uni in Kazakhstan stuff is like a David Lodge novel
