Well it certainly wasn't Edison.
That Dr Who show went right down the shitter when the BBC
predictably
decided to politicize it some years ago. So expect the AC/DC bit
to be portrayed gender-neutrally and white, male characters (if
any) to be extremely dumb.

42!

You remind me of people in the 60 and 70s who ranted
about "peverted filth" such as "The Life of Brian"
without having even seen it.

I'm sure that since you are in the mindset to find such
things, that is what you will see.

Having said that, so far Dr Who has morphed into
a committee designed story that attempts to tick
all the inclusivity boxes :(

It just evolved into a show for kids, that's all. BTW the first two
series of this years season were pretty good, the third
one was full of political correctness, I barely managed to watch it to
its end - never mind I never got older than 8...
Not too bad to teach kids to accept diversity to kindness though, not
doing so means a never ending production of CD-like mindsets.

I think a better way to get kids to at least accept those things is to
give the opportunity to check out the alternatives for themselves, a
little field trip down to the local KKK trailer park might do the trick.

Or leave them at the local penitentiary for a bit "Hey kids! This is the
Aryan Brotherhood! These guys are gonna take care of you for a bit and
run the class for a while. You just hang out here and we'll be back
soon. Have fun!"

Check out the lifestyles of the real "best" the master race has to offer.

It has always been a show for kids. you've just grown up.

As a real kid the giant maggots in "The Green Death" gave
me nightmares. As as adult I noticed the environmental
responsibility message. This latest episode is more water from
the same well.

The movie "The Green Slime" 1968 is funny sci fi!

Yes, though without detail. I did download "Quatermass and the Pit" from
the BBC web site last year, but did not manage to watch it right
through...

Well hope you are right and I did grow up eventually.

I started watching the series from 2005 onwards, with Chris Eccleston
then David Tennant being the doctor. While it was obviously a show
for kids it was very watchable by plenty of adults unless most of
the public all over the world got stuck at being 8 like I am...

The best part of the series I have watched is the nice balance the
British manage between telling a story and the humour it contains.
I remember an episode of the first season I watched (with Eclleston)
where a kid wearing a gas mask had been duplicated with the mask as
an integral part of the copy and was roaming the place repeating
"where is my mommy" all the time... A few seasons later, Tennant being
the doctor, he somehow got a gas mask in his hands. What did he do,
he did not disappoint - put the mask on saying "where is my mommy"...

The seasons with Eccleston and Tennant were very watchable indeed,
those which followed were not bad but have been getting more and
more "kids only".

No, if it aired in NZ it was before I could appreciate it.

I wonder if they will explain AC/DC without getting into gender

He stood by with his bank accounts and watched the boxing

As the story goes they sold their souls and swore that you'd never

Bell and Western Electric stole the telephone from Meucci.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Meucci

Wrong, always wrong. Meucci was working on something, but whatever
it was, from his description to the patent office it sure does not sound
like a device that converts sound to an electrical signal and then back
again. It also doesn't sound like he understood the basic principles.
It sounds more like two cans on the end of a string that happens to
be wire. He had years to get it right, to clarify it, to patent it,
yet it was only after Bell received his patent many years later,
that M claimed he was the inventor. And no one "stole" anything from him.

You sound like a little retarded punk that needs his mouth mashed
beyond the ability to use it again.

You are a fucking retard.

You are a goddamned idiot. Meucci was not "working on something".

He had a finished working unit that he let them look at and they
never returned it.

You could not be more stupid if you tried, punk.
