I think you'll find its true, the poor guy got so much stick for parking his car in camera shot it was vandalised, I thought he'd changed it to a more subtle colour

Being one of the main three European state owned media outlets (along with RT and Sputnik) that live for and largely  purvey fake news, the safe bet is to always assume it is fake until proven otherwise. :o :o :o :o Their #Brexit and climate change propaganda makes North Korean DPRK news outlet look positively believable and plausible in comparison. ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D

Still, I see the BBC with Dr Who in the next series really are aiming to conquer that final space frontier. Buggering in space. :o :o :o :o

C'mon Rods, lighten up a bit.

Please, at least try, just a teeny weeny lighty uppey attempt . . . . .

You may be correct I don't know, but it's all beyond any capability that I have to affect things.

Said character is apparently called Bill, and looks, to all intents and purposes to be a Thespian... which might make the buggery interesting to watch ::)

From the clip in the Fail, I would say that the Beeb have left no token box unticked in that episode :-X

On a lighter note, David Suchet is in an episode too... if you like that sort of thing ;)

There was an article yesterday in The Telegraph saying that once we are an independent sovereign nation again we must bring back imperial units.  :)
