It\u2019s just you and me here so I\u2019m going to confess something and you are not going to tell, okay? I used to have a profoundly deep crush on Darcey Bussell. Then during an episode of Strictly Come Dancing, she told some dancer that they \u201cshould of\u201d done something.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t hear what they should\u2019ve done because I was twitching too much. I don\u2019t remember the dancer or the dance or even when this was. Yet that phrase switched my crush off like a light switch.<\/p>\n
And yet this month when the Doctor said it in Doctor Who, well, I still twitched. But I didn\u2019t switch off, I didn\u2019t think much more than a pixel less of actor Jodie Whittaker and a fathom less of writer Chris Chibnall.<\/p>\n
Maybe I\u2019ve become inured to it. Maybe I accept that we\u2019re on our inevitable way to having this nonsensical pair of words become a legitimate part of the language.<\/p>\n
Or maybe I\u2019m just not letting it switch off Doctor Who for me. It\u2019s possible that I\u2019m maturing, though I see no other evidence of this.<\/p>\n
Also, it has been on my mind for six days straight and I needed you to help get it out. <\/p>\n
But you have done and I thank you.<\/p>\n
Just don\u2019t tell Darcey. You pinky-promised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
