You never hear much about the youngest of the McGann brothers: Renault

For Be Funny Or Die, I stumbled upon the theory that the difference between drama and comedy might simply be down to the pace of data processing. Watch this ad, with the time clock in the corner, and see how fast your brain parses comic data. Set up, development, pay off, often in under a second.

Just had the pleasure of editing the Doctor Who Missing Episodes Wikipedia article so it says "95" where it used to say "97".

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

I've just had an amazing idea

Based on the notifications Google serves up to me, The Independent now only publishes articles about special offers in international fast food chains which appear to apply in the UK but when you look closer are actually only available in somewhere like North Dakota.

The important thing to remember is that The Big Bang Theory, a multi-camera show, spun off Young Sheldon, a single-camera show, which then spun off George and Mandy’s First Marriage, a multi-camera show. This is the first time in tv history that this has happened. We live in unprecedented times!!!!

Can't believe we've found the one batshit culture war nonsense that is actively funny, I hope this fucking nonsense rumbles on for DAYS

When Tudor came in, I couldn't shake off the feeling that he was Cristian Stellini all over again. That felt like the Newcastle game, and hopefully the outcome in the morning will be the same.

It's especially delightful that he couldn't be in court to receive news of yet another legal defeat because he was in custody in connection with an assault for which he has just been charged.

[grinning insanely] no-one wants to see scenes like this!

New 'my hopes and dreams being crushed in the space of single second' meme just dropped.

Said this before, but Arthur Askey's first TV appearance was on Baird's experimental transmissions and his last was on Channel Four

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

Burning the planet with ai bullshit to sell ad space reporting a building on fire. Just stop it.

Bloody hell, giving extensive notes on movies like this when they're nearly finished is an inept way to work. If there's a type of movie where you really need to nail your script down before production starts, it's this. And if you make creative decisions you should stick by them.

Do they think people have literally no memory of past events at all?

If memory serves, the lower case Saturday was on all the way through the trail. I suppose they didn't want to drop it from the standard menu template even though they could have.

Griff hands Mel a large pink pill as the punchline to a sketch about prescription tranquillisers.

Morris in a never-used scene from Brass Eye (which is, however, clipped in the title sequence) brandishing the very same prop.

As someone who never caught the Oxide Ghosts film on tour, I'm enjoying the outtakes now going up on Michael Cummings YouTube channel, especially the revelation that the original Cake prop was repurposed from a 1995 edition of Smith & Jones.

If my kid had the costume already in his wardrobe you bet I'm not coming up with a new one for him

This is entertaining. We are sending someone interesting to Eurovision with an actually fun track. A small ray of sunshine.

They shouldn't be televising this match. It's intruding on private grief.
