In a world of lies, we need the BBC more than ever. This week could be our last chance to save it | Polly Toynbee As the public consultation on the BBC nears its end, the right will be out in force to undermine it. But its supporters can do their bit – with this guidance, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

‘All those who care about the BBC’s future should hurry and send in their response before 10 March.

Despite strong public support for the national broadcaster, you can bet battalions of enemies driven by the right will be out in force to undermine it.’

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

Both cracking books 📚 ♥️

Offering up both my books for #WorldBookDay - one a LGBTQIA academic book and the other a fun #DoctorWho book! Both still available! Lifetime ambition right there ❤️ 📚 I’ll do a third at some point…

Was this the best photo to use for a tribute?

It’s uncanny

This explains so much, darling. 😘

Happy #WorldBookDay! 📚

To celebrate here is a thread of our recent Trap One episodes about #DoctorWho

Aww, how lovely. Got their autobiography on order and look forward to reading it asap. 🥰

If anyone in London is hiring in PR or comms, I'd love to talk to you.

Hitting the point where LinkedIn and recruiters can only go so far and just want to work again, doing what I do best - writing

You know them? Amazing! They sound such a hoot. 😊

HT&P BONUS INTERVIEW - John Halstead Podcast Episode · Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels · S1 E406 · 1h 23m

A terrific chat. If snorting with laughter in public isn’t your thing, wait until you get home.
It’s candid, funny, and covers way more than DW.👍🏿

John Halstead has a way with a tale and lots to tell. A lovely romp through theatrical & television anecdotes.👏🏿

Good man. I salute you 🫡

What an amazing accomplishment. Keep up the good work.

Honestly, he could’ve talked for hours more and I would never get bored. Even throwaway remarks like, “poor dear, she’s waiting on her leg to arrive” had me going. Anyone walking by me would be wondering why I was sniggering and smirking.
