When I was told about this by an online critic channel, I had to go and check it for myself.

The photos featured are of a campy musical number from the most recent episode of ‘Doctor Who’.

The same episode featured a drag queen as the villain, but I won’t get into that here.

Before anyone gets all upset, I would like to point out that the song itself and the way it was performed was pretty cool – but it proves beyond doubt that the once-loved show is gone!

For those interested, ‘Doctor Who’ is now streaming on Disney Plus – which might explain the photos.

All screenshots are courtesy of Doctor Who/BBC/Disney Plus.

The other day I uploaded a video to YouTube from the 80’s TV show ‘Buck Rogers in the 25th Century’.

The clip is cringe-worthy beyond description, but as expected, I got many hits over the first few days.

But then it completely flat-lined at 895 views.

I should point out that there is a copyright restriction, but have the views been stopped after April 30th?

See how it levels out after that date?

The other stats are interesting too; all male, all aged between 55 and 64, and 13% coming from Russia!

I’ve added a link to the video below, but I must warn you….it’s pretty bad.

The destruction of ‘Doctor Who’ is now complete.

Photos are courtesy of various online sources.

I remember our entire school watching this film back in the early 80s during a special assembly.

I would have been aged eight or nine at the time.

Check out the screenshots below from the James Bond inspired title sequence.

I know this is not age-appropriate for primary school kids, but does it actually cause any harm?

Call me a misogynist, but I’ll take Buck Rogers and the hot chicks any day!

Without giving any spoilers away, the photo below is of a graphic I created to assist me in writing my upcoming book ‘Hobart 1983’.

This particular item, a fictional framed football guernsey, plays an interesting role in the novel and even has an entire chapter dedicated to it.

‘Hobart 1983’ should be out in early May, exclusive to the Amazon Kindle Store.

This is the Tasmania Devils founding member jumper, which went on sale last week.

I note that Aussie Rules footy jumpers are no longer referred to as ‘guernseys’, I’m guessing because they aren’t woollen anymore.

Anyway, it looks good and brings back some fond memories.

Needless to say, I’ve ordered mine already!

The original PS1 trilogy has been remastered and is now available at the PlayStation Store.

Three bonus levels that were previously only on PC have been included.

Now, I smashed these games when I was younger; playing through each of them multiple times.

Almost thirty years later, I have a feeling that my reflexes may not be up to the challenge, but I’ll give it a go anyway!

Tomb Raider I, II & III Remastered will set you back around A$45.

Microsoft Bing is using AI to write blurbs and descriptions for websites and other pages, and I had a little laugh to myself when I saw this today.

The part I have underlined is where the programming has made an assumption, based upon the words and descriptions used in the opening paragraph of the story.

Now here is the actual beginning of ‘Red Widow’…

Maria was a novice when it came to service stations. Never had she been able to top up
her car’s tank without spilling a little fuel over her hands. Even after seven or eight
attempts, it was always the first spurt out of the nozzle that caught her. It could have
been dangerous had she been a smoker like her husband.

I guess the AI has identified that the character is ‘working’ at the service station as she is manually filling up her car with petrol, which I suppose could be argued as being somewhat correct.

By the way, my short story ‘Red Widow’ can be downloaded on this website for free, but it gets a little rough and is not for the faint-hearted.
