The #WinterOlympics starts February 6th on the BBC #MilanoCortina2026 #Olympics

Christmas Ident Calendar Day 11. A 12 Days Of Christmas theme with a partridge in a BBC1 pear tree in 1988. Day & night versions with the partidge flying in and (the rarely seen) out are here. Plus the BBC's Christmas (W)Rapping trail. Bread topped Christmas Day with 18m.

The Season of Good Television promo is loud and unsubtle as anything. It aired in November as I recall. Bruce and Ronnie in the trail were shunted off to 11pm on Boxing Day as I recall!

There's a Bruce and Ronnie Christmas Special after this. BBC4 is spoiling us this evening.

#throwbackthursday Over 30 years ago, I appeared as a contestant on Bruce Forsyth’s Generation Game with my Nan (1994!). #tbt #throwback #thegenerationgame #bruceforsyth #gameshow #tv #bbc #bbctv

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Dr Ramsdell, whose phone had been on airplane mode, told the BBC's Newshour Programme that his first response when his wife said, "You've won the Nobel prize" was: "I did not." To which Ms O'Neill replied that she had 200 text messages that suggested he had. www.bbc.com/news/article...

#Ratings #TheCelebrityTraitors 6.1 million overnight #TheTraitors That figure will grow as streaming figures add to it

The most watched TV programme at the moment is #GBBO with 8.7 million viewers, but will #TheTraitors knock it off the top spot? #CelebrityTraitors

One big reason linear TV viewing is falling is all new content today has to compete with the widely available archive of all the great content that has already been produced & built itself a great reputation and brand. So it's really hard for new programme brands to break through

I hope Stella realises that if she leaves the farm then there will be no BBC money for her for being heard on #TheArchers and Ruairi will get all the acting money now. Short termism !

This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

1982: Carpets from Littlewoods (+Monte Cristo; Domino; and Tango)

If everyone watched The Hack on ITV right now, we could start to repair our media, our discourse & our country. It is TV drama at its absolute best. I know most of this stuff & I’m reeling.

The World At War, The Jewel in the Crown, Mr Bates vs The Post Office, Spitting Image, World In Action, Rising Damp, Tiswas and Death of a Princess. Good shows, but ultimately absolutely meaningless when compared to Some Shouty Bloke In Braces Interrupting His Colleague Every Minute For Some Reason.
