Gordon Ramsay doing radio ads for Burger King. Not got enough money Gordon?

It’s that time of year when I ponder why BBC One is showing repeats of Escape to the Country and Garden Rescue when they could be showing live coverage of Radio 2 in the Park.

On the same day in the Telegraph:

I’ve been waiting all year for a 30th anniversary issue of this, one of my favourite albums, and they go and put this horrible new cover on it. Oh well, that’s 35 quid saved.

This is probably a long shot, but is there any video available showing the old Ceefax newsflash service on page 150 during an actual broadcast?

Alan, what's your favourite Business TV training video?

Last night’s dream: trying to get a DVD player to work to show my friend the Blackcurrant Tango advert and the Tango Strange Soda pronunciation advert.

Well, that clears that up.

Please share: if you have a Nectar account and value your points, you need to turn on “Spend Lock” in your account to avoid your points being stolen. This has happened to me today because the cards are so easy to clone (I don’t even have a physical card) www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2025/02...

Remembering when Daniel O’Donnell used to surprise his elderly fans by turning up at their houses and farting against their doors and windows.

The Great Escape is a brilliant album and deserved all the plaudits. Not looking like there’s going to be a 30th anniversary release though…

The Beatles get their A Level results. Aug 1964.

I’m reading a new biography of the Everly Brothers, and have just discovered that after doing six continuous months of national service in 1962, they had to do one month of army training every year until 1970. This was somehow fitted into their usual schedule of touring and recording. That’s nuts.

Can’t get over the photo the BBC chose to use of George Harrison when he died. One of the most photographed humans on Earth and they use THIS:

I can't remember anything else about Life's Too Short but still think about this every so often and obviously all the Naked Gun stuff has made me think about it a lot recently. "Let's do some improvisational comedy. Now." www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqA5...

I can understand not showing all 12 minutes but too bad we didn’t even get a clip of “This Is What She’s Like” #dexysatthebbc

Asda 12 vegetable spring rolls - “serves 12”. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

As serious as this news about some collapsed buildings is, the talking dog is surely the real story here

A little Saturday bonus... Here's what happened when Live & Kicking moved from BBC ONE to BBC TWO on 11 November 2000 to make way for coverage of The Lord Mayor's Show... #saturdaymornings

A thread. A few years ago my parents had their luggage stolen on a train journey coming back from Edinburgh. They reported it to the police but weren't expecting to see it again...

Hate to be a killjoy but I think that CEO statement is a fake. Admittedly I didn’t realise until I got to the bit where it’s quoting song lyrics…

when there's a mangled body in a ditch

[2/2] How do I know? Because I’ve now acquired that very paintbox and here it is. It’s very big and very lovely. Now I just need to work out what I’m going to do with it! @transdiffusion.org @tvark.bsky.social

"Just like that...."

Just tried to find a Nespresso pod called “Pike Place Roast” by googling “Pontop Pike Roast”. Now I want coffee roasts named after transmitters.

Not mine, but makes me laugh every time I see it.

40 YEARS AGO TODAY: it's twelve noon in London, 7am in Philadelphia, and around the world it's time for Live Aid. Uploaded this very morning, everything except the music from the BBC2 (and BBC1 after the late news) marathon. www.youtube.com/watc...

There's an interesting part in the ITN Story (1977) about the fact that this piece of jaunty music was deliberately chosen to make ITN bulletins feel less pompous than the BBC's: youtu.be/OUyvdgRqGoU?...

Another day, another revelation…

Not sure if sharing an Instagram link works on here but this is brilliant www.instagram.com/p/DLal2SesM5...

The biggest shock is the end credits flagrantly breaking ITV's rule that all end credits must have the same generic background.

Venn diagram Further explanation in the alt text in case you're struggling. When I posted this on twitter it was described as most middle class venn diagram ever. Which is incredibly patronising and classist. No middle class person knows who the bloke on the right is.

It is impossible to get Siri to play Song 2 by Blur.

Just read someone on here complaining that a service station is now “full of tourists”

Still confused why BBC Four now seems to be the additional TV channel used for Glastonbury coverage instead of BBC Three, who will instead be showing *checks notes* 20 year old repeats of MTV reality show My Super Sweet 16.

I ended up watching repeats of Partridge on U&Yesterday one night last month and still laughed like a drain at this gag. Some jokes are timeless.

I saw this on the EPG and at first thought it was a spin-off I hadn’t heard of. Nice idea - episode theme nights.

I Don’t Understand Why This TV Programme Is Being Recorded In 25p (Also Known As ‘Film Look’) #1: Sky’s Isle of Wight festival coverage.

Ooh. I always enjoy spending time with this pair, so bring it on (gently).

This is what Morrisons call a “garden centre”. I’m pretty sure it’s a trolley park.

If This Morning was being made on a shoestring budget in 1990, what would we class its budget as now?

One of my favourites. youtu.be/R8KXFHm6nS0?...

I didn’t know “Steve McQueen” and “Cupid & Psyche 85” came out on the same day (40 years ago yesterday). What a month that must have been.

True story! www.comedy.co.uk/features/com...

Listening to the ten minute long “Secret Friend” by Paul McCartney to help me get through this windy Sunday.

“Those memes were something to behold, weren’t they” - a line you don’t expect to hear on the News at Ten.

If you've got a history book at home, take it out, throw it in the bin, it's worthless. The history books now will have to be rewritten. They'll quite simply say Noel Edmonds's Kiwi Adventure dropped on ITV on 20 June 2025. Everything else will be a footnote. www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertain...
