What's the difference between 'thinking a promo picture for a Pokemon game looks like a scene from a '70s cop show', and 'thinking a promo picture for a Pokemon game looks like a scene from a '70s cop show so you'd better knock up a teaser and some titles'?

The answer - GENIUS. )

[The electrification of the Glasgow – Edinburgh line] will also create a new rail and tram interchange station at Gogar. - BBC News
But what if it rouses Gogar from his aeons-long slumber? What good will thirteen services an hour do us if we must once again toil under the yoke of Gogar? The Age of Gogarwas an abomination, and all free men of the central belt should oppose the foul works of the Black Cult of Gogar, or 'Network Rail' to use its new façade.

Oh, apparently it's an Edinburgh commuter town. Well I'd never heard of it.

Blimey it's dusty in here.

Anyway, have a video. In the words of Sean Lock "I can't work out if this is brilliant, or the other thing".

"Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.

These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.

These two men are laying down their lives in mankind's most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.

They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by the nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.

In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man.

In ancient days, men looked at the stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.
Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man's search will not be denied. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.

For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind."

President Richard M. Nixon
Fifty years ago, and one universe across.

So, what do you do if you have a very young actor playing a very old part? You stick him in fogyish clothes to simultaneously highlight and slight defuse the contrast.

You know what? I think the people that make TV's Doctor Who might just know what they're doing.

And I'm sure the hyper-violent shade of blue that the TARDIS has turned is something to with HD. And the St John's ambulance badge is back... because...

Anyway - if you look at the video on the BBC article
  1. Why are the Beeb filming the people who're trying to take pictures of the Beeb filming? And who photos the filmers of filmer photgraphers?
  2. Is that opening shot a Leisure Hive homage or what?

Hang on a minute - shouldn't it technically be 'ballfooters'?

Following the literally hypothetical response to the first five words [info]anthrokeight gave me to talk abut, the second batch has been rushed through production to profit from the frenzy.

I would point out that these would be much more interesting if it wasn't so bloody hot.
