There's a funny trope in SF stories in which androids and robots are said to be vastly more durable than living beings, and even effectively immortal.
But in actual practice, machines generally get decommissioned, obsoleted, destroyed, or worn out in far less than a human lifetime.
Watching Doctor Who serials one 30-minute episode per week must've been really tedious. I've never tried actually watching it that way. When I first saw them on PBS, they were edited into the "omnibus" format.
Well. This is intriguing. I'm not sure why I'm only hearing about this today, almost a year and half after publication, but if it pans out, it would be the first detection of a 9th major planet at about 500-700 AU.
Either a very large ice-ball or a smallish gas giant similar to Neptune -- but WAY out in the dark.

Well. I checked that my parents have a voting plan. Looks like they've got this.

A Cop As Bat!
Lot of fire in this story.
The room is airtight? That's kind of extreme.
Perhaps this was a source for the "Murder She Wrote" formula.
Intriguing pattern on that book.
Honestly, a bat not having rabies is the norm. Wouldn't call that a "narrow" escape.
Yes. In general, mammals do have brains...
Oh. That one is a real bat.
Well. On the plus side, no live bats harmed to film that.🤷♂️
Nice shadow shot there.

Um. Is this murderer a furry..?

Yes, in a book. Are you not clear on "mystery writer" !
I guess I was not wrong to worry about the smoke!
Look at that car. It sure is 1959.
