One of the most successful Sci-fi series was Gene Roddenberry, Star-Trek, pure Sci-fi, easy watching with good story lines, although it looks a little dated today some of the gadgets and technology depicted in the series were just the writers imagination but some of that imagination is now common place today. Give me Sci-fi not woke issues. Ah but the bbc is all about trying to educate us? For a fee of course.

Mostly because they were more interested in gags and story telling than 'messaging'. How very true but I have heard that some of the Wokerati have their knives out for it and want to stop the repeats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

udderlyoffroad Posted December 19, 2023 Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 I know this is rather Mandy Rice-Davies ("Well they would say that, wouldn't they"), but I thought this video covered it rather elegantly re the Beeb's output.

I tend to not watch the news anymore - I did see a little bit on Welsh News which was on about the trail bikes damaging grass - with the wording "now unable to collect CO2" or suchlike...Luckily I missed the telly with the remote - that could have been expensive Yep. Physical media is the future, get it while you still can. Dont throw things at your screen. Gary at Nerdrotic did that and broke a $500 screen on a stream. It was funny to watch when he lost it over something to do with Disneys Galactic Starcruiser hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
