Notably the Series 5 episode 'Quarantine', which postulated the existence of "liquid luck" a concentrated form of virus that makes the infected person incredibly lucky for a period of time depending on the dose.

a lot of stuff in early harry potter seems pretty obviously borrowed from earlier Wheel of Time books, but she will never admit it because JK Rowling is one of those "no one inspires me, my ideas are 100% original!!!!" people which is really aggravating

Clarify, please. I haven't read the HP books since the very early 2000s.
I binged the entire Wheel of Time series about 5 or so years ago in a month and a half; so a big gap between the two and I never noticed anything. I'm curious to hear.

I really doubt JK read WOT, she doesn't seem to care about fantasy literature at all

Crackle's ads were so damn obnoxious that I bought a bluray set of Thunderbirds just for the last ten or twelve episodes.

Thunderbirds is also a fun British sci-fi.

May as well go watch that if you're putting up with Crackle, but it's also on Freevee I think.

My client is not guilty of murder, he is guilty of being Arnold J. Rimmer.
That is his crime, it is also his punishment.

He's never been mistaken for Yul Brynner. He isn't bald and his head doesn't glimmer.

Now that I think about it, Harry Potter is a pretty clean lift of Lunar Magic School.

Could JK have been inspired by some old witchcraft book?

Loose Example from 1986 spellbook describing a lucky incest.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/3/8/AAZsuhAAEJom.jpg

I know this is goodluck incest but probably at least one older book has an actual luck potion described. A lot of these types of books won't be found online tho because of them being niche so no one has uploaded them digitally.

That doesn't look anything like a timehole. That is an interstellar quasar about to go supernova.

I really don't see how they're similar aside from being kid books and having a magic school (which isn't even the main setting in Earthsea)

Lister: Look, they haven't seen each other for ages. They're only going out for a meal. What's the worst thing that could happen?

Rimmer: .....how's this, Listy? A little wine, a little laughter, then it's back to his place for coffee and a game of chess. Before you know it she's sandwiched between two bishops and the queen's exposed to an attack from the rear.

For the longest time I never understood the "he will never need a zimmer" line in this song, and then one day I randomly learned that "Zimmer" is a brand of walker and even though I hadn't thought about the song in years it immediately popped into my head and I got so excited that the line made sense now

British humour just does that.
I'll watch Benny Hill or Monty Python, and just now get a joke.
