I'm a recent discoverer of Rev Richard Coles, and the show he co-hosts on BBC4: Saturday Live.

I've rarely so willingly got up for 9am Saturday.

Charming, warm, funny, gentle. So refreshing.

Very thoughtful, painful article, courtesy of my Twitter feed:

The Women I Pretend to Be: Feel free to join the tech industry, but remember: being yourself is not an option

I gave Matt Smith a chance. Talked too fast.

Still giving Peter Capaldi a chance.

But he and the rest are being let down by lazy scripts.

I'm really tired of characters telling each other to shut up, shut up, SHUT UP.

It's happened in every episode so far, several times. It's like the writers can't think of any other way to change the dialogue from one person to another.

I was shocked when it happened in the last Dr Who. Not just shut up, but calling each other stupid.

It's not hip, it's not clever, it's not charming. It's just crass.

They spend so much time being really clever and funny in throwaway lines about eyebrows, and then can't be bothered to use better language to interact when it's important to change the direction of the conversation.

Anyone else finding this?
