There's something very funny about Peter Capaldi meeting fans at Liverpool Comic Con while wearing a Kevin Bridges "Did Ye, Aye" t-shirt. "I loved your era of Doctor Who so much that I named our daughter after Clara..."

Took myself over to MIMA to see this year's Turner Prize nominees and pondered life and death, nature, human power strucrures and the M62 motorway. Now I'm in a pub sat a few tables away from a lad who just called Shark Tale "an animated movie that's actually good, like a really great film."

Very much looking forward to seeing Bob Picardo and Bill Nighy in Starfleet Academy season 2! The guest stars on this show! They clearly know something the dolts that cancelled it don't.

*sniff It does go on, Bill.

An image from the 2013 docudrama, An Adventure In Space and Time. David Bradley as William Hartnell. He is dressed as the First Doctor before shooting his last scenes in his final story, The Tenth Planet.

In this poignant scene, Hartnell looks across the TARDIS console and sees a future Doctor, a symbolic scene ensuring that what Hartnell created lasts and goes on. In the original broadcast on November 21, 2013 as part of the show's 50th anniversary, Hartnell sees Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, the Doctor at the time. When it was rebroadcast during the 60th anniversary on November 23, 2023, Smith was replaced by Ncuti Gatwa, who was about to become the 15th Doctor.

In this image, Hartnell looks across and sees the Doctor from the upcoming CBeebies program, Doctor Who: TARDIS Crew.

"There is a risk of people being over-diagnosed with ADHD and autism, an official review in England says" is the main headline, but then you get this. It feels like one of those stories where the narrative "desire path" that ADHD is over-diagnosed is going to eclipse the detail.

Wes Streeting 'completely wrong' about over-diagnosis, says review author

The author of today's report, Prof Peter Fonagy, has been speaking to Radio 4's Today programme.

He starts by saying that former Health Secretary Wes Streeting - who first commissioned the review - was "with respect, completely wrong" when he talked about an over-diagnosis of mental health disorders.

His findings show that "there has been a rise in distress and mental ill health amongst young people which is very, very real," he
