I have no problem with reality falsifying my beliefs but I really don’t like my fiction rotation cache being invalidated by new historical moods. I don’t think I can enjoy Yes, Prime Minister or The Simpsons ever again. Even Hitchhiker’s Guide is under threat now.

In real life in the US and UK, Humphrey Appleby has been murdered and replaced with a closet neo-Nazi, Bernard Woolley has been fired and replaced with a Fox News hack, and Jim Hacker has been defeated by Tony Soprano’s stooge. Hard to laugh at a vanished political milieu.
