How about, instead of , “I’m glad she’s gone - She was so miserable / boring”, we have more, “I hope she’s okay - She’s been concerning me for some time.”
Grace Dent looked in real trouble last night and I seriously hope she’s okay.
@RSBrad_C
Don’t be a berk, Brad. People were posting all sorts of crap about him being DRUNK. I posted that SOLELY to shoot down those rumours. He was clearly UNWELL.
Romesh Ranganathan to take over Claudia Winkleman’s radio show.
Can you imagine if he and Stephen Mulhern only had one gig each?
There would be employment for another 30 people.
@MattLargeX
Ah, I read it like it was directed at me (as you will understand if you read it back). But turns out he had a medical episode, so yes indeed, let’s wish him all the best.
So there we are. Some stark reminders tonight about why I almost totally dropped this platform a few weeks ago.
From unprovoked aggression to crass stupidity - It’s all alive and well.
Just try being nice, people.
You’ll find others are much nicer to you.
You get what you give.
Really wanting Sam to win

… Worked with him a few years ago and he took part in this wee video for my girls. Genuinely nice guy.

It’s unbelievable that he was made to finish the bulletin. Either the programme should have been cut short or someone - ANYONE should have stepped in.

@TheChrisStreet
I said SOMETHING was amiss. That’s not speculation, Ben. That’s fact. If I’d have mentioned a medical condition or anything else, THAT would have been speculation.
Hope this helps.
Ahhhh, those were the days.
And thanks to occasional online reminders from people such as the lovely Russ, QM is still remembered with a degree of fondness.
Still think that late night TV today would benefit from having a live show on air which connects in the way Quizmania did.
Just the saddest news about Annabel Giles this evening.
Funny, bubbly, naughty, cheeky and warped.
All the characteristics which, for me, make a tip-top individual.
A true shining light has gone out way too early.
#LocalElections2024
Well - I HAD to stay with it for the Blackpool South by-election declaration.
It was worth it… For the result - And to see the night���s OTHER big winner.
Congratulations to this classless no-mark on taking the title of “Childish Arsewipe of the Century”.

Awwww. That’s REALLY adorable. You can feel the love in the room.
It’s unforgivable what’s happening to BBC Local Radio.
So many other areas where savings could be made - This is sacrilegious.
@carausius286
Well there WAS. If I’d have said “Probably X, Y or Z”, THAT would have been speculation.
Dear God in Heaven.
Hope you didn’t shell out too much for those fees…

Just viewed an earlier part of the bulletin - Hell, there was a reporter IN THE STUDIO - Why on earth didn’t they tell her to take the chair?
Nobody will have been listening to the news. Everybody will have been nothing else but massively concerned about Rageh. It’s astonishing.
One more mensh from me for Noel Edmonds on his 75th birthday… Here’s the time in 2016 when, as a result of a single tweet from me to he, he agreed to join me live on the wireless for an impromptu chatterage:
Michael Buble. I’m a fan. I really am.
BUT - These Asda ads. Holy crap.
Surely an ad has to be believable? Buble shops at Asda?! Oh come on.
He clearly caved in under the weight of zeroes in the offer.
Look at his eyes after the awkwardly delivered end line. Like he wants to die.
@censoredanonz
@lewis_goodall
You made an accusative statement, then attached the clip from Lewis’s programme.
So
a) There was more than a fleeting inference that you were speaking exclusively about him / his show.
&
b) As a result, he was absolutely right to defend himself on that very basis.
Just saying.

The sad element of this is that some will say / think, “Oh, it’s only a laugh”.
It’s not. It’s really not. It’s one more step downwards on a moral decline. The world sucks at present. We want and need warmth and thoughtfulness like we haven’t in a very long time.
It’s ALWAYS been the case. The ratings drop after the spinny chairs.
And I stand by a previous post - What is the point of this show? Name ONE WINNER that’s gone on to anything?!
Actually - Just name one winner 😵💫
RATINGS: After 7 weeks of exactly 2.6 million viewers for the blind auditions,
#TheVoiceUK
aired its callback rounds last night and only 1.7 million watched - the shows lowest EVER rating.
BRING BACK THE BATTLES.
They’re missing a trick here.
They could carry advertising right across the wall behind Angela van den Bogerd - And give all the revenue to the victims of the
#PostOffice
scandal.
Happy birthday to Noel Edmonds - 75 today.
I’d like to include the photo of the two of us which the BBC snapper took on the Countdown set, the night that Richard Whiteley was served up the best Gotcha of all time. But I can’t. They never sent it to me.
It would have gone here:
This will be me tonight, watching the local election results coverage - As one by one, the number of Tory councils and councillors tumble like dominoes on a trampoline during a particularly virulent earthquake:
@Charlie628
I have nothing BUT respect for Rageh. Speculation would be MORE rife if people went on what people were saying on social media, rather than seeing the footage for themselves.
I DON’T have respect for those who kept him / the programme on the air. Ludicrous decision.
I don’t want to put the mockers on him… But if Luke Littler wins the whole shooting match - Do we already have our BBC Sports Personality Of The Year for 2024?
Will he be the youngest person to ever receive a Knighthood?
Moreover - Will he open his own chain of Kebab shops?!
20 years ago today, we lost Bob Monkhouse.
He was my hero. The best professionally - The best human being.
It’s no coincidence that the quality of entertainment television plummeted following Bob’s passing.
Nobody will ever come close to him.
I adored him.

An observation from last night - Two of the people who have been receiving the most online hate - They were the FIRST to go across to Grace when they saw that something was clearly wrong.
BTW - Yesterday’s ep was the first I’ve seen this series.
@superTV247
He presented a live, Saturday night series years ago, called Magic Numbers - A variation on the old Phillip Schofield / Emma Forbes format, Talking Telephone Numbers.
When you’re working the New Year’s Eve weather shift on BBC Television and you suddenly remember you have to get your order in from the local pizzeria.

#LondonMayoralElection
There once was a woman called Hall,
Who thought she would go to the ball.
But due to the vote,
She looked like a scrote…
It proved that she’s nothing at all.
So Braverman is saying that the only thing that the Tories can do to reverse their seemingly terminal decline at the polling stations, is to head even further right with their policies?
How about creating a manifesto which… And hear me out here…
WILL ACTUALLY HELP PEOPLE?
Oh, the fun you can have in the world of voiceovers.
I have just recorded a “No Toilets On This Train” announcement for a railway company.
I have also recorded a version NOT for playout on their systems.
Would you like to hear it?
Okay.

Oh, everything I post is “liked” by “Tanya from Los Angeles” who has a link to her webcam in her bio.
Won’t be long before she, or a friend of hers, will like THIS post.

Neither of us are listening to a word being said.
Only the words in our heads - Which were both keeping to ourselves.
But they’ll certainly include “Drool”, “Wow” and “Gosh”.

As I said to someone else:
Perhaps she’s had mental health worries in the past - Felt up to it - Passed tests (She’ll have been tested for sure)… And just lapsed?
Maybe she wanted to challenge herself?
Nothing wrong with that.
Just sad it’s gone wrong.
