Today you get a few diverting and entertaining things. :)

And slightly less ancient (actual) wars (LONG):

Right. Friday history thread!

Let's talk about how not once, but TWICE, in WW2 a 650 year old treaty between Britain and Portugal (that the rest of the world had mostly forgotten about) was invoked to help the Allies win the war. pic.twitter.com/0Gmp20ONWF

And Russel T Davies is trending on Twitter (♥), so have this delightful thing I came across:

Didn't have space for this in my interview (also: bit niche) but here's Russell T Davies' vision of an MCU-style future for #DoctorWho, complete with David Tennant/Matt Smith team-up and – the petition starts here, folks – The Nyssa Adventures. https://t.co/dFJhRrbZMU pic.twitter.com/WFobGiHuj1

Anyway, he's trending because his new show starts tonight! Article here:

Russell T Davies: ‘I looked away for years. Finally, I have put Aids at the centre of a drama’
The acclaimed screenwriter recalls his life during the 1980s Aids crisis, and reveals why it is only now, with his new TV series It’s a Sin, that he feels able to tell a story that has haunted him for decades

It's a Sin starts tonight at 9pm on Channel 4!
