If you have a passing acquaintance with Doctor Who, pop culture or human society in general it’s possible you’ve heard of the Daleks, the terrifying alien foes of the Doctor (currently Jodie Whittaker) who’ve cropped up in his or her adventures more often than TARDIS parking tickets.

Now, rumour has it that the tinpot terrors (obligatory alliteration there) are about to return for Doctor Who’s next series – but is this too soon after their last invasion in Revolution of the Daleks? Can you have too much of a good (or monstrously evil) thing, or is it time the Daleks were benched? Well, as much as you can bench anything without the ability to sit on one.

BRATTLEBORO â When COVID-19 closed down Epsilon Spires, the venue pivoted to outdoor film screenings in the back parking lot, an area never previously eyed for programming.
âNow, we found a perfect use for it that people seem to really celebrate,â said Jamie Mohr, director of Epsilon Spires.
Mohr said after the pandemic, her group would still like to use the space for events. For now, the plan is to remain creative and flexible.
âWeâll try to innovate as we go along with the CDC guidelines and what the community feels comfortable with,â Mohr said, referring to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, âbecause we donât want to rush too soon and have everyone have to close again.â

Not in the way us Who diehards might discuss it, you understand – which would probably be in the context of, say, the continuity nightmare caused by Peter Davison’s temporally unreliable barnet during season 19, or whether it might be possible to digitally remove David Tennant’s upsetting fringe from future releases of The Day of the Doctor.
No, they were talking about Jodie Whittaker’s smart blonde bob (series 11 model, for those taking notes) and its influential bearing on their own tonsorial makeovers.
Paris, Texas (1984)
Starting today, Laurent Kretzschmar and Srikanth Srinivasan are presenting fresh translations of the more than twenty reports Serge Daney filed from the Cannes Film Festival in 1984, when Dirk Bogarde presided over a jury that included Isabelle Huppert, Stanley Donen, and Ennio Morricone, and Wim Wenders’s
Paris, Texas won the Palme d’Or. Each text will appear on the day it was published in the left-leaning newspaper
Libération thirty-seven years ago. Kretzschmar has been posting translations at his blog Serge Daney in English for more than fifteen years now, and Srinivasan has most recently been concentrating on translating books by critic and filmmaker Luc Moullet.
