The cliches of the 60's keep mentioning their musicians' countercultural acumen or so the story goes. However, how can we understand Tom Jones' success then? Before you protest, I agree he has many qualities, yet he doesn't fit the prevailing narrative of the 60's despite being one of the biggest popstars at the time. He felt like a member of the old guard in the vein of Sinatra. Strangely enough, the latter actually told him to ditch the rock stuff, while Elvis, another model of his, advised him to stay there. Yes, Tom Jones is one of those peculiar types that belonged to a different era than the one they were in. Still, this might have given him a surprising longevity that found him working with everyone – from Trevor Horn to Chicane.

That's Cillian Murphy, Graham Norton, Alan Cumming, and Russel Brand at the 2006 GQ Men Of The Year Awards. Always love a photo with a random mix of some favorite celebs. This one scores 3/4—care to guess which one didn't make the cut?

Imagine if Sam Fortner (the patient) and Will Graham (Hannibal) would have switched terapists
Will: *talking about his problems*
Alan: *actual therapy and help*
Sam: I have a compulsion to kill people
Hannibal *excited*: Really?

Honestly my biggest complaint about s11 is the lack of Historical costumes for the fam. There's just something about the Doctor's friends in full 'accurate' dress while they just prance around looking like a gay fever dream.
