Commonwealth Games opening, King Charles emerges from TARDIS in Glasgow
I suspect that the reason the Commonwealth Games isn't being shown live is that Scotland doesn't have its own national broadcaster. The BBC refused to show the Glasgow games but will show London's Diamond League Athletics. A successful games boosts Glasgow & boosts Scotland. They can't screen that!
Frank4BBC showing Scots, they don't care about BRITAIN, never mind Scotland.

It's actually an international celebration of nations that have or are wanting to reclaim their national sovereignty and become Independent countries. They've come to Scotland to support us as we're next on the list.
Does The King coming out of a TARDIS to open the Commonwealth Games imply a British Monarchy canon where he is merely the latest regeneration of The Queen?
Joel Morris12What’s nice about this conceit is that this *is* what is implied by the idea of a monarchy, but we pretend it’s not a fantastical concept that would be a faintly ridiculous but amusing idea in fiction.

I have to explain my jokes3Having a King Charles associated not only with the Commonwealth, but also a long-running institution in limbo for a few years, maybe might want to rethink that one.
Adam Macqueen2No, because he’s clearly Kamelion still working the royal disguises, and the new doctor is actually Camilla.
John Rob1No... like likely it's an attempt to promote the series of Doctor Who, which is currently out for tender, as a potentially profitable project for someone to hopefully take on.
Sylvester McCoy is The Doctor! (Again) Delightful to see the 7th Doctor back in action this evening with the King and a global audience potentially larger than anything from his original run. #DoctorWho #CommonwealthGames
The Dobson Family and Colin the Dalek12And here's the almost full sketch with Sylvester's cameo - it cuts off before we see the other Doctors. (Probably because that's Channel 5's bit) #DoctorWho youtu.be/VsGwZlKuhUM?...

Apparently the Commonwealth Games have just started. This isn't a 'I'm doing a post about how I don't care about something' but I do find it remarkable that I didn't even register that the Games were happening until seeing a couple of mentions today online.
Cosmic Clau4I only found out when my work colleague showed me how they defiled the TARDIS 😄
Sandy Horne3Same. Times sure have changed!
Lucien Ey2Do you live in Victoria? The Age is pumping hard on the We Wuz Robbed pedal.
Matthew Keane1TNT destroy interest in sport. Would prob watch if on the bbc
Rhys Needham1Didn't realise there was so little news coming out of the Southern States... Oh, sorry, Glasgow.
nickycorphello.bsky.social1Coverage is hugely curtailed this time around: just a (late) night highlights package on C5. Without the BBC as broadcast partner there’s no TV/radio promo on their channels. Add in no live competition jeopardy plus dominance of other major sporting tournaments & here we are. Pity tho.
Sorry, SORRY, THEY HAD A GIANT TUNNOCKS TEACAKE IN THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES OPENING CEREMONY www.instagram.com/reel/DbJve0p...
Mint Royale2I would like to put on my swimming shorts and goggles and dive into that from a great height, then swim around its sticky deliciousness eating handful after handful until the biscuit base is revealed. This could be an actual commonwealth games event.
Angus Main2Still a big fan of the Tunnocks dancers they had at the 2014 games.
