You can't rely too heavily on the computer.


On the contrary, it seems to be normal human activity. They never learn.

Scottish parliament was opened.

That's because there is no obviously Scottish/Welsh crew member.

Regina is too strong. Maybe it is her condition.

Their diversity policy definitely needs looking at

She's a good screamer. Probably what got her the part. Don't remember Jenna, Cally or Dayna screaming much.

She's really rather good at knocking people out.

How many times were they trying to leave the Moon?

It's their ongoing mission to find a planet on which to live.

I read that there were special auditions where the Doctor's companions should have screamed.

Two of everything. Which means two pantos. Better get working on another script, M1. Chop chop. (That's two chops, of course)

Isn't Earth suitable?

Axial tilt? Earth has recently tilted about 30 inches (80cm) but I can't remember in which direction. 'They' claim it's because we've moved so much water about for agriculture etc, but there's probably a much more sinister reason. Bound to be.

Do you want to live on the other planet?

It's tilted due to the sheer dead weight of the Potteries.

If it's got a vaguely Earth-like atmosphere, it'll be very much like Newcastle-under-Lyme

Or the movement of ABBA fans following the 'Final Tour'.

It is rather scary to see one person dead and alive at the same time.

No obvious signs of devolution...

Heading back into future time? Assuming time is linear, of course. It's probably more of a helical structure, like everything else.

Time's not linear in the Lake District, that's for bloomin' sure. Round and round in circles.
