The sole Iranian athlete is not participating in the Paralympics, as they are not able to make it to Verona, C4 commentators say.

Not sure it was a good idea to do the Paralympic Opening Ceremony in Verona. Hardly any athletes because they're competing hours away, and a lot of athletes boycotting Russia and Belarus participating anyway.

Channel 4 juggling Winter Paralymics coverage and Crufts live coverage in a weekend. An achievement for a commercial public service broadcaster.

Genuinely expecting Clare Balding to be presenting Crufts and the Winter Paralympics at the same time by now.

We honestly need Nadia back on television. Put her on The Traitors. Get her on Real Housewives Of London. Fling her around the Strictly dancefloor. Let her host BBC News! A joy. So good to see she remains just as iconic as she was 20 years ago.

The BBC today advocating that other PSBs could use iPlayer for their programmes in the future. How 20 years ago a similar idea was blocked by the regulator, before the streamers came along.

BBC Response to Green Paper: As well as content on YouTube they say: "We will open up BBC platforms like iPlayer and Sounds to other UK content providers, so the country can retain scaled PSB services capable of competing with global streamers."

Mock the Week has been confirmed for a second series on TLC.

Remember Me?, my new podcast with Maisie Adam featuring stars from the past, is back with Nadia from Big Brother www.youtube.com/watch?v=loTg...

BBC Four is repeating This Life to coincide with its 30th anniversary, beginning with a double bill on Wed 18 March with a new filmed intro from Daniela Nardini. #ThisLife

no PR email with capslock words in the subject are worth reading

I HATE MICROSOFT CO PILOT SO MUCH WHY WON'T YOU JUST GO AWAY

I have a degree

Richard Osman is standing down from Richard Osman's House of Games.

Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.

Due to breaking news Must Watch will be a movable feast.

So far there have been just as many bleeps as awards #BRITs

Ok Bobby thank you

“I just want to say, Free Palestine, Fuck ICE, go Geese!” — Geese’s Max Bassin during the group’s International Group of the Year acceptance speech at the #BRITs

The BRITs have descended into chaos.

Looks as if “Free Palestine” has just been bleeped at the Brit Awards.

The plastic straw ban clearly has not made it to Iceland

WHAT WAS THE LABOUR PARTY JOKE THEY CUT #Brits

why were k-pop demon hunters playing in the carpark

Remember Me? – with Maisie Adams and I are back for episode two, with an illuminating, fascinating chat with Hunter from Gladiators www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y76t...

Industry is to finish with its fifth season.

BBC: "The BBC has been reviewing what happened at BAFTA on Sunday evening. This was a serious mistake and the Director-General has instructed the Executive Complaints Unit (ECU) to complete a fast-tracked investigation and provide a full response to complainants."

no i don't want to rewrite with copilot i never want to use copilot i will never use copilot

FYI: Sky One is back from today, replacing Sky Max.

Well, that was a closing ceremony.

WHY ARE THEY PLAYING BLUE DA BA DEE DA BA DIE

This closing ceremony is completely baffling.

Someone in a meeting somewhere: let's put techno in the Verona colosseum

all the faff of moving the flame to Verona really makes me wonder why it is in Verona in the first place

a lot of people pretending to play the violin and pretending to light a candle #winterolympics

The BBC Sport Winter Olympics montage does not disappoint.

Considering that BBC can only air two events at a time, felt their Winter Olympics coverage was faultless.

NO DONT SAY IT IS SPRING YOU’LL JINX IT

Not taking lectures from America about when the hockey finals should be on considering so many Olympic events, regardless of the location, are usually pitched around American audiences.

The Winter Olympics are ending but at least we will have a BBC Sports montage.

Lovely

There were more viewers of the curling last night than Britain’s Got Talent.

Thank you for the lovely review @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social. Remember Me? with Maisie Adam and I is out today. “This is a timely, sympathetic show that will no doubt have a lot of celebrities to choose from.” observer.co.uk/culture/audi...

Wish Have I Got News For You was on this week.
