For today’s generation of children, his voice will be instantly familiar as that of Grandpa Pig, in the Peppa Pig series.

Previously, for nearly two decades he created the sound of the evil Daleks in the long-running sci-fi show Doctor Who – adopting a staccato style and then feeding his voice through a synthesiser.

 

Jo Martin and Alice Krige star in a brand-new box set of full-cast audio drama due to be released in January 2025, as the long-awaited Fugitive Doctor lands at Big Finish Productions.

 

The Conservative strategy was clear: attack the New Democrats, whom a significant number of east Winnipeg voters have always liked, by going even harder on the Liberals, who have never enjoyed better than middling support in this corner of the city.

Running against one party by tying them to another was a novel strategy, U of M political studies professor Royce Koop said earlier this month.

"The Liberals are very unpopular. They're certainly not competitive in that seat," and so an attempt to tie the NDP to them "makes some sense," he said.

"But you don't see that all the time."

After what happened on Monday night in Elmwood-Transcona, you may never see it again.

I think the episode implies ethical issues, but stops well short of spelling them out. The fact that Kingsley concealed the childrens' true natures for as long as she did suggests that their research was not on the up-and-up.

My best guess is that the station's research, on paper, fell within Federation regulations, but their actual work did not. But that's stretching pretty far, given that no one explicitly raises the issue.

This is the first I've ever heard of a login required at star trek dot com.

It's mainly a charity thingie - TrekCore has a summary.

Maybe more importantly, it doesn't look like they're doing any panels on Star Trek Day this year.

I'll be seeing you

In all the old familiar places

That this heart of mine embraces

All day through

I think the season really gets cooking with "Boom," and there's a string of pretty solid episodes in there.

All in all, a pretty average season (and I don't mean that in a bad way - it was just pretty typical highs and lows).

Interesting take. Do you have an example?

All right, I'm convinced. Henceforth, every Friday is Bell Riots Day, forever.

I struggle to put my feelings on speculation into words. Obviously, it has its place, and there would be something very wrong with the show if we didn't feel the urge to speculate about where the story is headed.

I think it's runaway speculation that spawns ridiculous conspiracy theories that really irks me, if that makes sense.

It all makes sense when you (don’t) think (too hard) about it!

You need to trademark this and license it to the BBC ASAP.

Happy "Labour" Day to you, too.

I like the cut of this guy's jib.

IIRC he acknowledged it was well-made for what it was.

Honestly, I think he just realized he had no choice.

The conflict between Roddenberry and Meyer is pretty well-known, but I agree it would be...interesting to see the original documents.

And with them, a brand new holographic representation of a Starfleet Bridge Officer who famously busted a ghost of her own!
