Very good stuff from Sadiq Khan at the Labour Irish society event. He said there are two reasons he loves coming to Labour Conference. “One is the reception at the Labour Party Irish Society reception. “The second is to get away from all the Sharia Law in London”

A sign that Autumn is well and truly here. Grand Designs returns this week.

I’m doing the paper review on Radio 4’s Broadcasting House at 9.40am.

Strictly tonight is 2 hours 26 minutes long.

Watching #DragRaceUK with my Dad. 20 mins in. My Dad: “Who is RuPaul?”

It’s your job?

The Morning Show completely unhinged this week. Absolutely no idea why I keep watching, but I do. And I will next week.

Paul Robinson (Steffan Dennis) dancing to the Neighbours theme tune on Strictly on Saturday. Of course he is.

Newfound enthusiasm about Jimmy Kimmel’s show is not evaporating after just one night. His Wednesday night follow-up monologue has topped 5 million views so far today, enough to rank as one of his most-watched videos of the year...

Well, that's one way to open a programme.

no idea what this is about.

Full Jimmy Kimmel opening monologue from last night here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Never understand anyone who slags off London. Have you been here? It’s fucking amazing.

The thing I can’t stop thinking about during Michael Palin in Venezuela (Channel 5) is that he’s 81. Just the best broadcaster there is.

ITV doing a nice branding to recognise its 70th birthday but no celebratory programmes scheduled is very ITV

when the violin kicks in during robyn's "every heartbeat" jesus

Perfect two part story here

The Celebrity Traitors will launch on Wednesday 8th October at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

I reckon it’ll be on HBO Max next year, when it launches in 2026 in the UK.

Committee To Protect Journalists says preliminary investigations show at least 201 journalists/media workers were among the those killed in Gaza, the West Bank, Israel & Lebanon since October 2023, making it the deadliest period for journalists since CPJ began gathering data in 1992.

Hugh Skinner is to return alongside Hugh Bonneville in the BBC’s Twenty Twenty Six, which follows preparations for the next World Cup.

Btw very important to say that the FCC has not at all said what Kimmel said that was so objectionable! This is classic chilling effect - there are no rules so everyone stops talking www.theverge.com/news/780471/...

NEW: Broadcasters now in no doubt about the all consuming power of YouTube - they join forces for govt/regulators to step in for fairer revenue and prominence… YouTube take a big slice of ad revenue. All a sign of the power YouTube now wields… www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

The WGA’s statement on ABC’s decision to pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

KEY to the story about ABC suspending Kimmel's show: Nexstar and Sinclair, two big owners of ABC-affiliated stations, both need FCC approval for pending deals. With a lot of $$ on the line, both have reason to curry favor with the Trump admin. Both decided to yank Kimmel's show.

Now that a UN commission of inquiry has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, will Eurovision even consider its position on including Israel?

Spain’s broadcaster RTVE has confirmed that it will not participate in Eurovision next year if Israel is allowed to take part. This is big. Spain is one of the Big 5 countries that contribute the most financially to the contest.

The irony of some of the most awarded shows at the Emmys not being available to watch on British TV screens for two consecutive years

"Eurovision has never been about politics, it should be a celebration of music and culture that brings people together. We need to see what the broadcast union decides.” www.bbc.com/news/article...

Hollywood Reporter says reports that Israel will participate under a neutral flag are false. “The EBU has not made any proposals to [Israeli broadcaster] Kan regarding participation in next year’s Eurovision Song Contest.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/music-...

Thank god Adolescence did so well at the Emmys. I reckon it’ll be judged as one of the most important shows this decade.

I’m not saying UK trains are expensive… … but in Spain and I accidentally booked business class which comes with a full meal and several glasses of wine it was still cheaper than an Avanti off peak single standard fare.

Letter in The Observer today. “I am a refugee. The UK made me a surgeon.”

All weddings should have at least four single gays invited so we all have someone to talk to whilst looking fit.

Who keeps crashing cars at speed into the front of a specific Tesco Express in east London? It’s happened four times in the last three weeks. It looks like a robbery - but London Centric has learned nothing is stolen and it appears to be the same driver. www.londoncentric.media/p/tesco-expr...

The Netherlands and Ireland have publicly said they won’t participate in Eurovision if Israel participates next year. We’re supposed to know by December whether Israel will next year, but my prediction is that we’ll know a lot sooner than that.

🚨🇳🇱 Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS has issued a statement on their #Eurovision 2026 participation. "Participation by AVROTROS in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 will not be possible as long as Israel is admitted by the EBU."

Bit wet, out.
