Happy birthday Scottish television writer and producer Steven Moffat.

Born in Paisley on November 18th 1961,  Moffat attended Camphill High School before going on to Glasgow University where he was involved with the student television station, GUST (Glasgow University Student Television). He gained an MA in English and became a teacher for over three years at Cowdenknowes High School, Greenock.

During his years teaching Moffat wrote a couple of plays, one of which, War Zones was performed at Glasgow’s Mayfest and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. His big break came when his dad, a primary school headmaster, met TV producers filming the Harry Secombe show Highway at his school, he told them about an idea for a show about a school newspaper, the producers asked for a sample script and he insisted his son Steven write it. Producer Sandra Hastie said that it was “the best ever first script” that she had read. The show, Press Gang ran for 43 episodes over 5 series an gave us the likes of Dexter Fletcher and Julia Sawalha. Steven has never looked back.

He is perhaps best known now for his work with Dr Who, his two-part story The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances for series one of BBC One’s revival of Doctor Who (starring Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper) won him much acclaim, including the award for ‘Television Moment of the Year’ and the first of three HUGO Awards. He has since went on to write numerous episodes and has been showrunner, lead writer and executive producer from 2009 right through until this year.

Mofat still finds time for other work, the feature screenplay for the Golden Globe-nominated Tintin, commissioned by Steven Spielberg via Spielberg’s company Dreamworks, Sherlock, a multi-award-winning, contemporary take on the Arthur Conan Doyle classic, was created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, he also wrote and was an Executive Producer of Jekyll, a six-part comedic thriller starring James Nesbitt.

Steven Maffat’’s latest project teamed him up once more with David Tennant, Inside man is a decent, if far fetched show, it’s entertaining enough, but I just think it could have been better. I much preferred   The Devil's Hour, which he produced  through his production company Hartswood Films, another Doctor, Peter Capaldi, plays a really dark character in this Amazon original, all 6 episodes are on Prime now.

Next up for Steven is a stage play in London's West End At The Criterion Theatre The Unfriend, is described as “A Riotous Dark Comedy” it’s run begins on January 15th

George Michael Dolenz Jr. ( born March 8, 1945) is best known as a vocalist and drummer of the 1960s pop/rock band The Monkees. Dolenz started his career as a child actor on a children's show called Circus Boy, which ran for two seasons. In his mid-20s, he started a band as the lead singer, Micky, and The One-Nighters; they played covers of famous rock and r&b songs. Soon he was hired for the "for" drummer and vocalist role in NBC's The Monkees. He had to take drum lessons even to mimic playing the drums. Dolenz was the "funny wise-cracking member of the band (you know, "TheRingo type). After The Monkees ended, he recorded a few solo albums during the late 60s and early 70s. Dolenz has kept busy directing, making appearances in films and television, and performing The Monkee's classics and his music. I remember watching The Monkees on Nickelodeon during the the'80s and getting a kick out of his jokes and antics. Dolenz is the only living member of The Monkees. He is a part of pop music and pop culture. He will always be known for his sense of humor and charm. His fans will always admire Dolenz.

no ai generated content will ever compare to the absolutely cartoonishly evil plot to cut down trees to prevent workers from striking to get livable wage.

I love how MGG’s audition process for Criminal Minds was so similar to Spencer Reid’s hiring process for the BAU Aka ‘this guy has like no experience and we don’t think he’s right for this job but there’s something about him and he’s oddly skilled so I guess he’s hired’

Black trans lives matter

Circa 1977/early 1978 - Tina Aumont and Frabrizio Lori spent a night out.

The couple was living together and they were very happy but the press published these photos in September 1978 stating that Tina was very poor and had no money at all.

Those September 1978 news were published in Eva Express (along with these photos) and they were refering to her affair with imported opium from Thailand, but the photos had nothing to do with the article.

- Eva Express, 15 Spetember 1978. Very special thanks to @74paris for his invaluable help.

I can’t stop thinking about the fact that Grovers Pearl is inside Cerberus.

What if his digestive system crushes it? Is there suddenly going to be a three headed dog appearing on this Santa Monica pier?

i really love how the first clip they gave us is the new years party

i know it’s to avoid spoilers and i’m also 99% sure what i’ll say here was not the actual intention but to me it serves as a reminder to those who’ve been fixating more on the angsty aspects of the season (of whom there are even more now after the stills have dropped)

like, yes, it’s going to be sad, but this is what it’s all leading to. no matter how dark it gets, they (and we) are going to get here:

and isn’t that just great
