Tom Scott's new England series is an absolute delight. Joyous fascinating dives into little corners of the country and the things people do there. There's tradition, but it's not backwards or patronising, and there's the modern day too. Available on YouTube and Nebula, really nice lengths as well.

Labour MPs calling for an orderly transition but unfortunately their government needs to be at least 18 years old with four doctors to sign off first

Can't stay up all night to watch the election coverage? Don't worry, I can catch you up every detail of it before it happens. "Well it's too early to read anything into this" "Well it's too early to read into this but I'm going to be definitive about it anyway"

As the Shamen nearly once sung, Yize is good, Yize is good, Wu Yize is good

Is SNL UK British enough? Well they just did a sketch about the making of the pork board advert, so

Lovely development in the snooker as the crowd has become sarcastic

Transphobia is always gender policing and the gender policing never stops with trans people

Went to Hampton Court Palace back in January to recreate Joel Dommett awkwardly saying 'wank' from tonight's Taskmaster

It's been very hard over the last four days to keep walking past this display and not just fill in some missing signatures

If we've learnt anything from Canada it's that the BBC should be immediately commissioning a gay snooker drama to save the organisation Joe Perry can't describe someone as "the original grinder" on commentary and nothing comes of it

The difference between the snooker at Ally Pally and Sheffield, is that in Ally Pally you can have a hot dog at your seat but today I saw someone asked to empty their chocolate buttons into a paper cup so there'd be no rustling from the packet

Any guesses on Oink Ball?

Take me down to the Hammersmith and City where the line is pink and the train is busy

BREAKING

What does Lisa Nandy believe her job is, and why is she actually in politics?

"propulsion: hybrid"

We're not giving him a platform, just a stage, which is a literal platform

Have I spent the past 24 hours thinking about Fouracres saying "nobody looking at the pork!" on SNL last night? I couldn't possibly comment.

Went to a comedy gig last night and afterwards met the agent of one of the acts, and when she saw her client she went "DARLING!!!" and in for a hug in the way you'd absolutely hope for and it's nice to see some of the better stereotypes come true

"We're in the Economist?"

Channel 5 has put a POV camera on the ref in the snooker and it's really, really, really, really weird and unnecessary

Waitrose now offering sex tips

When you're asked what your company does for the van but can't quite remember

Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-Ting was demonized and harassed because JK Rowling claimed she was male. Her boxing career was disrupted for over a year. Now, she's been cleared to compete as female after further "sex eligibility reviews." This is going to happen again. www.reuters.com/sports/olymp...

jk rowling spends money she makes from harry potter on stripping rights away from me personally. this is not a hypothetical scenario. that's where it goes if you buy wizard crap.

this is what it looks like when you book flights from your phone

Thank you Lucy Mangan for your service

Anyhoo, SNLUK was really good. It's live, event TV, and it's comedy and it's funny! George Fouracres is my breakout star (no surprise if you saw him in Flo and Joan's Musical show), howled at the lime bike sound, lots of fun bits.

Congratulations to the Mirror which waited until 5 minutes into a live show to post a post pretending to be a negative review consisting of social media posts saying 'why is there canned laughter' and we wonder why we have a culture of wanting things to fail

Night out to see @samnicoresti.bsky.social and her current show is a big big recommendation from me. Really funny, joke filled, great storytelling, skirt suits, finding yourself, Gollum, polycules, names for pets and surprise Katamari Damacy.

don't look up how long it's been since series 1, it'll only depress you (excellent news though)

Alas BAFTA have got this wrong, the most memorable TV moments of the year were - Bob Mortimer picking up the wrong dog in Gone Fishing - James Acaster smashing up Saturday Kitchen - Only Connect slagging off NYT Connections - Boris Johnson's weird pronouncing of AI and ChatGPT

I mean I don't think it's like ombudsman worthy but weird to decide the personality of your brand should be "that catty bitchy person who thinks insulting is the highest form of wit but is actually insufferable and rude who would get slapped in the face if they said it to a stranger"

just off to tesco to pick up some bits for the brits anyone want anything? xx

Well done for ITV deciding to bleep Free Palestine, but also, doing it so late that it was pointless to

Everyone wondering what politics joke ITV just muted at the Brits, but the real surprise was is that Lisa Nandy briefly remembered she's responsible for culture and showed up

Pleasure to be the person handing out the certificates for the @audioacademyuk.bsky.social @aiir.com 30 Under 30. I'm like Princess Anne at the Olympics, where you go "sure, they're there to hand it the honours apparently"

And we go again, the homosexuals have been given some more cocaine

Between regular, celebrity, professionals and junior I didn't think there were any spinoffs left in the franchise but the BBC has made a bold call

I've clearly been misinformed as I had the ice hockey final on and none of them were fucking?

Tim and Ed on the Winter Olympics commentary have lines that in any other world would be pure Partridge, but it's delivered with such genuine joy and enthusiasm that you cannot help but love it

Good and clear on what the Supreme Court's judgement, and the High Court's, means for trans people. As much as we shoud send back the EHRCs guidance, the only real solution here is to change the law and that's what we should be driving towards.

Let's mash up some daytime television with 90s hip hop! It's Homes Under The Hammer Time.

One Guardian interview where they read out to her the satirical piece that suggests she has no interest in her brief and she suddenly remembers she's culture secretary

The summer Olympics should also have more sports where you get to wear glittery costumes and choose music to go along with it, maybe 800m artistic hurdles or rhythmic tennis

Excellent nonsense that thanks to the BBC no longer requires you to know which YouTube channel is the one that links to the relevant Dailymotion page www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

I now have a plush Natural History Museum* *with plush Pikachu attached
