== How to Help ==
Polls are still up!So that Ranker poll is still there! It's still taking responses, please feel free to stop in and push OFMD up! (You could even do it on multiple browsers!... not that I'd recommend something like that).
Our friend @patchworkpiratebear was kind enough to make a helpful infographic since it is a bit of a goofy set up.
Link to the Ranking
Step 5: You can actually rank the other shows and they still affect the ranking of OFMD.
== BBC News ==
So this was a cool catch by @queerly-autistic, our friend over here on tumblr and twitter. "A Pirate Comedy with a cult following". Talk about making noise!
I know I've seen several asks lately regarding whether or not the time slot change for OFMD on BBC was a good or a bad thing. @queerly-autistic had some great insight on this.
Please check out their thread here."It's a really great slot to have the show advertised in, and I was so surprised and thrilled to see them giving it that space (and specifically pushing people to watch it on iPlayer)"
