Oh do fuck off.
Good news. The BBC stands a good chance of going bust now Trump has issued a $10billion lawsuit ( £7.4bn) through a Florida court for editing his speech to make it look like he encouraged the Capitol Hill riots. His claim for defamation is twice the BBC’s annual income and I

This place is currently full of right wing Americans congratulating themselves on displaying normal human empathy and decency. Because in the end, this appalling tragedy is definitely really about THEM. Pathetic.
ROB REINER WAS A LEGEND. His work as an actor and director entertained generations and will live on. We strongly disagreed on politics, but when I ran into him at a Brentwood restaurant years ago, we had a respectful conversation—and he agreed on the spot to come in studio the

Charities Week at MGS in the 1980s was absolutely insane. I can’t think of a single thing about it that would be allowed today. Epic.
In 1995, MGS Charities Week featured pillow fights, custard pies & £3.5k raised for good causes. This week, Tonbridge House leads the way with a Staff vs. Students Dodgeball match (Thurs), festive bake sale & jumper day (Fri) all for @imagocommunity. #ThrowbackThursday ✨

I don’t understand why the reporters put up with this. They are entitled to tell Trump that he’s being rude and unreasonable and that he should instead answer the question. Yet they never do. Why?
Trump lashes out at another reporter: Let me just tell you, you are an obnoxious—actually, a terrible reporter.

Hey @GrumpOldRick I bet you don’t remember recording the VO for my first TV documentary, on our friend Claude Nobs and the @MontreuxJazz Festival in 1999? Just found the DVD. Lots of great names in there! RIP Funky Claude.

The report also revealed that the Pope is Catholic and, in a shocking revelation, that bears have been discovered going to the toilet in woods.
UK theatres have increasingly turned to programming shows based on pre-existing intellectual property (IP), with familiar material receiving longer runs, playing to bigger houses and performing better at the box office than before lockdown measures were introduced, according to a

Mighty proud of Leo, 6, who - for his next Show & Tell at school on “inspiring famous people” - has chosen to talk about his hero @TamauPogi. He watches TdF recordings (@itvcycling of course!) every day and loves his bike more than ANYTHING. @nedboulting

Well at least it means we don’t have to listen to Rachel Reeves talking. https://t.co/gQW1iRBMHQ

I need @Bobby_Seagull to confirm this. Because it’s a pretty cool stat if true!
.@ZackPolanski 's explanation of the difference between one million and one billion here is brilliant. '1 million minutes ago was 2023 1 billion minutes ago was the Roman Empire' There are 156 billionaires in Britain, and each one is a policy failure. https://t.co/mZgsf3CTOi

Australians complaining that English cricket fans never forget is my favourite pot/kettle/black moment of the day so far. @bbctms
England fans "should be better" than the "abuse" they direct at Australia batter Steve Smith, says former coach Darren Lehmann.

45 years ago I made a pitch for the Director-General job. Didn’t get it – mind you, I was only 13. But I did get a reply from Ian Trethowan, who was DG at the time. All these years later I’m proud to work for the BBC.

8 guests. 1 hour. Ridiculous. The audience is, as ever, left with nothing from this format. Can’t we just be treated like grown-ups?

Cummings calling people liars and calling for them to be fired is today’s best pot/kettle/black tweet.
The lies and coverups in the Inquiry Report are so extreme that it’s inconceivable it’s the result of pure stupidity and incompetence. It can only be deliberate lying. Baroness Hallet and the lead lawyer Hugo Keith KC should be stripped of all official jobs, all gongs, and

I think my favourite thing about this guy is that he has decided that music which hasn’t been written won’t be suitable for a film that hasn’t yet been made and, worse, won’t suit a text that he doesn’t know will be used. Pretty impressive, don’t you agree?
Re; Nolan’s Odyssey One of the primary reasons you know it will be bad is because the music is being written by an hiphop producer who can’t even play an instrument.

Call me old-fashioned, but I like to wait for a film score to be written before deciding if I like it or not. #filmmusic

Steve Smith responds to Monty Panesar’s call for England fans to target him over the ball-tampering scandal by mocking Panesar’s appearance on Mastermind 🗣️

This is good for a laugh. A classic of the genre “Even though it hasn’t been written yet, the score is going to be crap”. Add astonishing snobbery and total BS pretending to be insight. Hilarious.

It’s a year ago since my dad, who struggles with daily pain and immobility, ventured out in the evening for the first time in a decade to see the wonderful @nedboulting in Canterbury. A very special evening for lots of reasons. Hope to see Ned on the road again soon!
