The YouTube algorithm is radicalising me again. It just showed me this and I badly need a time machine to go back to 1972 to watch the rest. Maggie Smith and Robert Stephens in Private Lives, bloody hell youtu.be/tZOnfIJ0LvA?...

Imagine a fringe so bad it could make Myrna Loy look a bit off

I was a Junior in Wooster High School in Ohio. I was in a class where we were taught to create Crystal Radio sets, requiring an antenna and earphones. I plugged my set in and the first thing I heard was “Kennedy has been shot.” I dropped the earphones; afraid I had made the radio incorrectly.

Poirot texting like: "Miss 🍋 Lemon ... pls bring my moustache wax ... Tkx ... Miss 🍋...🍐O" And Miss Lemon just handing in her notice

Hello! I'm looking for somewhere to record an upcoming @beefanddairy.bsky.social episode. It's basically an audio drama but I am wondering if it's possible for me not to hire a £££ studio for the day and instead hire a room somewhere in London where I can use my own kit. Any ideas?

Couples who have met on celeb quiz shows on which one is the host and the other is a contestant. A list: Richard Osman and Ingrid Oliver Allen Ludden and Betty White

Those are his bare legs, it's not tights, you can see the veins. What is. Is this cheesecake?

Slug it Slay! Language, eh

It’s early morning and I’ve just begun my most ambitious challenge yet: to travel on all Train Operating Companies in Great Britain within 33 hours. Is it even possible? We’ll find out! Updates as and when I can make them. First up: Eurostar 9007 from Paris to London! #TOCMarathon #Railway200

Up the step through, internal geared, sturdy, comfortable bike. It's no coincidence that all city hire bikes are shaped like that.

Period dramas lull us into a false sense of knowing what the past looked like. I've been looking hard at this presumably normal for 1906 students jacket and ...scarf? combo for far too long and still can't work out what's going on

I was in France recently and noticed on a carton of Oatly that all the text was in French apart from the unhinged ‘this carton is your friend’ bit, and I had to admire the French going ‘nah you’re ok, don’t worry about translating that bit, we’re good’

Lads lads lads talking pictures is repeating eurotrash MY GOD

Modern Family, Brooklyn 99 and The Big Bang Theory are on E4 basically every day on a loop, so if they really are the names that Gen Z spontaneously volunteered, then reports of the death of broadcast, scheduled TV may have been happily greatly exaggerated

Just spent far too long looking into whether the Donalds Sinclair might conceivably have met in real life during the war or something. Probably not

Basil Fawlty and Siegfried Farnon were both based on real people, BOTH CALLED DONALD SINCLAIR

Everyone in Frasier is good looking by real world standards. Roz and Daphne are more beautiful than any woman in an average town. If Martin lived down your street in London the local kids would call him "Gorgeous George" because they heard their mum say it

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky

Has it always been spelt like that, with no "e" after the "g"?! If so I'm currently feeling v anxious about some history homework I did age 12, and the many glaring errors within

I can’t see that and not post this:

BUY THIS FILM IT IS WONDERFUL

Me walking around a field, tapping my thighs, looking at the ground and saying "arms, arms... arms. ... Arms"

I have always secretly felt that if I went to Milos and had a dig around, I could probably find the Venus de Milo's arms

A chat with a Cambridge professor about why tube strikes are likely to cause lasting *improvements* in Londoners' commutes. www.londoncentric.media/p/london-und...

Knighthood when

Just learned this the hard way: never try to catch a falling grater

If these strikes had happened in the spring, I wonder if the cycling might have stuck. We've got more infrastructure than ever before - just a few days to form a habit and we could've been Amsterdam

Arthur Askey appeared on both John Logie Baird's experimental broadcasts, and the last series of Swap Shop

It’s only “untitled” because the title is too funny to tell people. Anyway… this is what we’ve been doing. It’s really stupid. Can’t wait.

Rewatching Rivals S1 in preparation for whenever S2 comes out, and it's so great. There's a kind of innocent, non-cynical excitement that shines through - like the entire team knew they had something good and took pleasure in making it really well

Not a new observation but: In work meetings, men are allowed more rhetorical pauses and thinking time before answering than women. I would love to be able to use pauses more. But I often feel in a rush to make my point because my right to speak is constantly being challenged.

I loved Sinners - Jesus at a group therapy session for unhealthy relationships

I'd make a haggis but I just don't have the stomach for it.

Oo, if you're going to be in France on the 10th Sept, definitely bring cash! Looks like you might even get a discount at some restaurants with it

Evil twin (Maigret brings light with his match, the other has light thrown upon him - v similar music and lighting)

I need these.

These are the greatest closing credits ever aren't they. Just when you think they can't get any better, the BBC logo zooms at you from the TVC doughnut

Talking Pictures merch is moving into a slightly surreal area and I'm DEFINITELY into it. Excited to see what they bring out next

Pubs mean so much to local communities. Thank god this isn't a Sam Smith's

Hey does anyone know if that phone alarm thing will play through your headphones/earbuds if you're wearing them? I've just had a sudden fear that I'll be walking along listening to Pappy's Flatshare Slamdown and get deafened

For context, this incident happened at Niagara in 1850, the year before Moby Dick was published. It would have been pretty dramatic for onlookers right enough. Apparently the bloke was ok, and he'd been "washing his carriage"
