I once worked for a company who had an accountant who used a gaming laptop. They didn't play games, but it was the only decent one they could get with a number pad.

Given the cluster of sacked misogynists at GB News, perhaps they should also have Committee A and Committee B reviewing their shows and presenters.

I really enjoyed The Quarry. Although I killed pretty much everyone.

Ooo. I haven't listened to most of those, might to give them a go. I did enjoy The Doctors Daughter though. Jago & Litefoot probably still my favourite BF spinoff.

I felt the same at first but I think it works because Nicola Walker is brilliant, and it got to the point where those parts were some of my favourite parts of the show.

And not even monetizing it!

Came here to say this! But still - thank you! I have a feeling it will be invaluable, at least in the short term.

Thanks. Yes the startrek.website instance is a good shout. Lots of good stuff on there and "official" communities migrated from the bad place.

Not all of S1 is great, I thought. A few wonky episodes, and some wonky parts to good episodes. But then, that's just classic Trek for you. Like the good old days of Those Old Scientists and TNG.

I know I've been banging on about slogging my way through the Star Treks before cancelling my Paramount+ subscription, but the most recent episode of Strange New Worlds where La'an and Kirk travel back to 21st century Toronto was great.

100 years old... is the wiring underneath also that old? if so I'd recommend a rewire! Also this will have a non standard back box behind it that may not have sufficient space for an LED dimmer. If it's a cast iron back box, that might need to be chiselled out and replaced, so you'll need to replaster around it. Honestly, if this is part of the circuitry in your house I'd get an electrician out to look at it.

Rabbit hole is absolutely right. An expensive one at that. With my PAL GC I use an OSSC which I've had for 4 or 5 years. It's a bit long in the tooth now, as well as being expensive. If you can find a one, a RetroTink 2x is probably the best bang for buck. There is also the GBS Control - very much another rabbit hole. AFAIK anything else is going to be no better than the analogue input of your TV.
