Dr Who Series 12 2020

[ExAuxBalloonCorps]

Just a had look at the Dr Who trailer. Black Daleks, really? Oh dear me.

 

[Taffwob]

But they haven't even got to the Daleks converting to Islam yet

Muslim Daleks with Islamic Ray guns wandering the universe shouting "Exterminate inshallah!" on the BBC.

Not likely.

Not likely.

You mean, "Not likely NOT to happen given Chinball's obsessions", don't you?

The Beeb showing Mohammed's finest as cold, killing machines that want to take over the universe?

Nope.

They're more likely to have orange daleks with red lids bearing the phrase:
"Make Daleks Great Again."

ETA: Davros with a Donaldesque toupee would be a giggle though.

Orange Daleks? Would they have a marching season and wear bowler hats?

How do they play the accordion?

How do they play the accordion?

Badly

I thang you

ETA Could play a Lambeg drum though

 

[scoldog]

I thought fat shaming was a big no-no in media at the moment, why do the 2021 Daleks look anorexic?

Davros Walt?

Not likely.

Spike Milligan already did that.

 

[re-stilly]

Haven’t seen many planets or spaceships that are wheelchair accessible and a lot of escaping is involved so unless the wheelchair can levitate and is rocket powered she’s not going to live very long.
Mind you being BAME and wearing a red jacket is a dead give away of survivability (Star Trek).

So basically Davros becomes the Doctor....

The sash my Davros wore...

Nothing good I'm afraid

Amazon cancels TV adaptation of Iain M. Banks’ sci-fi Culture series

Amazon acquired rights to the series in 2018

Bollox.

What a bummer.

If Amazon can't do it I don't suppose anyone else will bother. I was rather hoping they might lavish GOT style budgets on it as it was a pet project of Bezos.

It's a double bummer when you consider how much dosh has been wasted on some really shite SF series.

 

[Unremarkable]

I'm still waiting for the serial based on Old Man's War.

I'd rather they did it to the standard required by the family.

Otherwise you get woke shite like this:

I'd like to see syncopated Daleks playing "Sloop John B", (alternate lyrics used by loyalists, but the tune is still Sloop John B).

Hmmm. The Banks estate certainly seem to have put the mockers on it.

I find that a bit odd as they must surely know the depth of affection Culture fans have for Banks. It can hardly have been for financial reasons given it was a Bezos pet project (and lets face it, there are no more books coming).

The novel is also one of the most straightforward and linear Culture novels so should convert to the big screen fairly easily.

Shame really.

Badly

As opposed to?

From the BOFH
---
"It was a bloke on a piano accordion.”

”The cruel bastards!” I sniff. “How bad was it?”

“As far as piano accordion solos went, it ended quite well.”

“How does a piano accordion solo end well?”

“With a gunshot.”

Could be worse, could be banjos.
