Doctor Who to go back in time and kill wokeness before it kills him

DOCTOR Who is to travel back in time back to 2017 and destroy his woke era in its cradle before it overwhelms and destroys him.  

After learning of his impending cancellation from the Master, the 14th Doctor realises the only way to ensure the survival of himself and his universe is to change his own history and become solidly right-wing.

Showrunner Russell T Davies said: “The nightmare dystopia of 2025 has come to pass, and the Doctor has no choice but to go along with it or lose US funding.

“He travels back to Christmas 2017, when he first became a woman, in a desperate attempt to stop his entire universe collapsing into only existing on Big Finish audio adventures for total nerds or ‘a fate so, so much worse than death,’ as he calls it.

“But it’s a stark moral dilemma, holding two wires, hands trembling, knowing that touching them together will ensure he regenerates as a staunch establishment Tory played by Martin Clunes in an M&S suit.

“Eventually he plucks up the courage, rewrites time itself and eight years of fancying Isaac Newton and meeting Rosa Parks is wiped away in favour of more sensible adventures getting Brexit done and helping white men achieve historic military victories.”

22-year-old Tom Logan said: “It’ll have me hiding behind the sofa shaking with fear like classic Who. I’m mortally terrified of anything not woke.”

'Actually cassettes have a higher range of frequency response': a guide to shutting down vinyl wankers

IS there a vinyl wanker in your office? Leaves at lunchtime and comes back with a square bag and a smug expression? Extol these musical formats over his: 

Brown wax cylinder

You simply haven’t heard Meet The Beatles until you’ve heard it in mono on brown wax cylinder. The soft wax means it deteriorates after a dozen listens which focuses the listener on absorbing fleeting moments of artistic connection. It’s the antithesis of that most heinous of crimes: putting music on in the background.

Cassette

Cassettes have a higher range of frequency response which means their replication of beautiful tinny sounds is unmatched by other formats. The hissing noise is because life was so much more hissy in the 80s. Winding mangled tape back in with a pencil is a tactile experience that lets us almost taste the blood, sweat and tears of the studio.

Compact disc

Vinyl wanker still not getting it? Shut him down with two little words: dynamic range. CDs have the best sound quality, you don’t have to keep switching disc and they are going for a quid a dozen in charity shops right now. Especially if you like Snow Patrol.

MiniDisc

With ATRAC digital compression, read-write functionality, durability and mystique, MiniDiscs are the sexy format. Try handing his office crush a mix-disc in front of him, filled with her favourite songs in pristine digital clarity, and you will see a man schooled.

A ancient hard drive filled with three million illegally downloaded mp3s 

Lossless file formats are shit. Mp3s use adjustable bit rates to dispense with nonessential elements of the recording can be dispensed with, saving your hearing for important things like television. And an old hard drive with a sweep of indiscriminately downloaded shite will provide all the pre-2014 music you could ever wish to hear.

Your phone

You can listen to whatever album you like on the bus. F**king beat that.
