Friday!!

If anyone in the US is curious about what May is doing with Brexit, #newsnight’s Political Editor quoted a cabinet minister on the BBC, saying: “Fuck knows. I’m past caring. It’s like the living dead in here.”

SO. Instead of dwelling on that, I bring you one of the single most delightful things in existence. The sort of thing you don't know you need until you come across it - the Fifth Doctor & companions to Last Friday Night. Enjoy:

Ha, yes, that one is great! I mean, Turlough so would anyway. :-D (For reasons I cannot remember I once disappeared down a rabbit hole of trying to see how many different TARDIS teams I could find vids for that song, and while there were a few and some of them were maybe technically better, that one was still the best. LOL, Team Five shenanigans.)

His FACE on 'Ah well' is just... beyond perfect.

Well it seems a very good use of time! I think my favourite will always be the Ponds, but this one is very very very close.

Oh . . . and it is Friday. I see what you did there.

Yeah, I just woke up . . .

ETA: is that tweet legit? No, maybe I don't want to know . . .

LOL. You're welcome. (Also it's was 7.30 am and I needed to think of a subject line that'd encompass both.)

Oh yes! (It's 2019, OF COURSE IT'S LEGIT.) If you follow it, the next tweet in the thread has a video.

I've lost all ability to tell reality from satire. I'm going to wake up to a news alert one day that North Korea has nuked Los Angeles and I'm going to laugh.

Err on the side of stuff being real. Like, always.

Alas . . . true.

The number of times I have seen a link with 'Not an Onion article' in brackets next to it is... far too many.

That sounds like an insult to zombies to me. At least the living dead crave brains.

+1 well played

... Hadn't even thought that far. But yeah, you're right.

vid is fun

[elisi]

Isn't it adorable? I love them all SO MUCH!

the Fifth Doctor & companions to Last Friday Night.

Oh, that is just DELIGHTFUL!!!

[elisi]

They are literally the most adorable thing. I call Five's companions (well, the ones he start off with) his 'ducklings' because they are all tiny and cute.

I know it's bad but I was helpless with laughter when he said that. Truly amazing.

That video was hilarious! I had no idea there were so many shots of people getting undressed in Five's era! Those crazy, messed up kids!

Laughing is better than crying, definitely!

And then there's Tegan in The King's Demons in, like, three blankets and a large bit of fur because she's COLD! (I have never related to a companion more.)

OMG, I love that vid, lol!

I saw that tweet. And then I laughed. Then I felt bad for laughing. O_o
