Who you are awful

Two things I have learnt about gay Dr Who fans. They're a much bigger interest group than I had previously thought, and they don't have videos.

Apparently the final episode of the present series, "The Last of the Time Lords", overlaps with the London Gay Pride Festival. The festival organisers are sparing their members the agony of choice by broadcasting the episode, live, on a big screen in Trafalgar Square. How sweet.

Just in case the event's gay credentials are still in doubt, it will be co-hosted by John Barrowman and Graham Norton. As Mr Pratchett once put it, gayer than a treeload of monkeys on nitrous oxide.

For some reason, probably quite reprehensible and indicative of my need for fundamental social reconstruction, the title "The Last of the Time Lords" is putting me in mind of Joey from Friends: "so, if homo sapiens were homo sapiens, is that why they're extinct?"
