A 50th anniversary repeat of Nuts In May on BBC Four, newly restored and broadcast in HD for the very first time. This is what I pay my licence fee for. Now get it out on fucking Blu-ray.

I was 13 when I taped this off the telly. Still brilliant. #TOTP

There's a guy at the office going round showing everyone the "hilarious" AI slop he's been making.

Badly sprained my knee whilst taking my jeans off. I was completely sober at the time, so I didn't even have that.

Ruben Amorim sacked by Man Utd after fourteen desperate months in charge

I turned on my tv and Destiny of the Daleks was on it. The next thing I did was check to see what @pipmadeley.bsky.social was up to.

BBC Four are showing Nuts In May next Saturday night at 9.50pm, introduced by Mike Leigh. Praying it's in HD. This shitty world needs HD Nuts in May.

After over a year of exhaustive research, struggles with anxiety and negative thoughts at the prospect of spending money purely on myself, and ultimately frustration at my procrastination in the face of rocketing prices, this week I finally pulled the trigger on building my dream PC. And breathe.

Happy New Year to you all. 2025 wasn't a classic: had a few health issues, struggled with motivation, anxiety and self-esteem at times, then cruelly capped off by a death in a family over Christmas. So I'm keen to make the most of 2026 and begin a positive new chapter in my life. Starting now. x

A few very nice additions to the shelves behind me this Christmas

"The Time Monster" being screened not once, not twice but three times on Boxing Day 2025, with the first two episodes of "The Three Doctors" thrown in twice for good measure. What a time to be alive.

The UK TV Christmas Day 2025 overnights are in... The King - 4.6m The Scarecrows' Wedding - 4.4m Strictly Come Dancing- 4.3m Michael McIntyre's The Wheel - 3.7m Call The Midwife - 3.4m Gladiators - 3.2m Amandaland - 3.1m EastEnders (Part 1) - 2.8m The 1% Club - 2.7m The Weakest Link - 2.6m

This might be the most random thing I've seen all year

Food coma incoming

Wishing you all a pleasant and peaceful Christmas, especially those of you who are alone, find this time of year a struggle or are going through a difficult time. Love to you.

BBC Four showed episode 1 of The Ice Warriors last night. If you watched and curious about such things, my latest video looks at some little mysteries in the missing two episodes youtu.be/48tTvRLQ9gA?...

This Innes Lloyd documentary on BBC Four is drier than most people's leftover turkey on Boxing Day. Some lovely rare footage though.

"...and the Ice Warriors part one is on BBC Four tonight at 8pm." Thanks Roy.

We may not get to sleep in our own bed tonight but every cloud has a silver lining... in this case Chinese Pork Fried Rice, Salt and Pepper Chips, Prawn Crackers and a bottle of Lucozade. Absolute smash.

The missus and I have just arrived at the station with all our bags, Christmas presents etc after a weekend away seeing family. All trains home tonight have been cancelled. Deep fucking joy. Merry Christmas, Northern.

If it was going to happen to him at any time of year it had to be now, I guess. RIP Chris Rea.

Is it 1991 again? Cos I'm down with it

I mean, if they've suddenly had to pull Mandy at short notice then surely there'll be a WILTY-shaped hole in BBC One's prime time Boxing Day schedule...

BBC2's Mandy Christmas special has been pulled, was originally scheduled for 10.25pm on Monday. The thing I was most looking forward to watching FFS

Your annual reminder that Phil Collins didn't have to go that hard on Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and yet he did, he did that for us

Now this looks right up my Hooky Street! A two-part Only Fools And Horses U&GOLD documentary featuring previously unseen rushes and deleted scenes "digitally scanned and restored from original 16mm negatives" - with Richard Latto involved, it's guaranteed to be pukka! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZN0...

Not to mention all those mince pies and cookies he's contractually obliged to eat - add to that all the milk and sherry, let's face it he's gonna be shitting and vomming every which way but loose for weeks #TheMagicOfChristmas

"Bluesky is an echo chamber." "Bluesky doesn't have enough reach" "Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right" I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

Breakfast DJ on Greatest Hits Radio just played "Easy Lover" by Phil Bailey & Phil Collins, back announcing it with the trivia that the song triggered a lawsuit from Prince in the mid-80s cos it sounded like "1999". Which of course it didn't cos that was Sussudio, and there was no lawsuit anyway.

No, don't worry, you haven't got tinnitus... Was hoping they might have taken the time to finally fix the audio of this Kate Bush edition of Ask Aspel but sadly not. Still, nice to see it on telly.

Thought I'd check out 'Christmas Hits: The Videos That Sleighed' (Touchdown Films) which aired on BBC2 last night. You'd think they'd just use straight clips from the videos, wouldn't you? Look how they massacred my boy Last Christmas... imgsli.com/NDM0NDM0 imgsli.com/NDM0NDMx imgsli.com/NDM0NDMy

"I’ve been a lifelong fan ever since discovering Genesis as a young teenager, and their Wembley gig in ’87 is still one of the best nights of my life." -- Zoe Ball Zoe, will you marry me? In other news, today the missus and I are celebrating 17 years together. But don't let that put you off, Zoe.

Haven't watched The War Between The Land And The Sea yet, but we're coming up to nearly a decade since I failed to make it past episode one of Class so there's time yet.

Watching a visibiy knackered Alex Horne sat on an open-top bus, fighting sleep, clearly desperate for a piss and still singing the same bloody song after 24 hours - if that's not worth a tenner for Cancer Research UK I don't know what is #SU2C #StandUpToCancer

Good old Sylv on BBC Breakfast discussing Jackanory on its 60th anniversary this morning.

A man holds a pen, his hand hovering over the cheapest Christmas TV guide he could find. (£1.80. Take that, Radio Times chancers). This is of course the beloved annual mid-December tradition of circling all of the shit festive telly you intend to watch/record/dutifully archive for posterity.

Peter Stephens fans / people who couldn't be arsed buying them will be delighted to hear the animated versions of The Celestial Toymaker and The Underwater Menace are now up on BBC iPlayer. #DoctorWho

"My entire television career has quite literally been an elaborate plan to get to write Doctor Who" - Pete McTighe "I’ve literally had the best couple of years of my career, working with Russell" - Pete McTighe "Literally, since I was five, I’ve been imagining Doctor Who TV stories" - Pete McTighe

If a tree falls in a forest and nobody is around to see it, does it make a sound?

"Look who's in the White House with Trump" "Who?" "Michael Crawford, he's far right" "Is he? That's a shame"

I feed the geese I sometimes feed the squirrels too It gives me a sense of enormous wellbeing #CanalLife

If they're paying the prices asked, what's the problem? The onus is on the shop to research the items and price them accordingly - I know plenty that do and successfully use places like eBay to sell higher value items. Also a bit creepy to take photos of someone and post them on social media.

I thought that photo of Rio Ferdinand at the World Cup Draw reminded me of something #RedDwarf

2025's Christmas Radio Times costs £6.50, that's 55p up from last year

Meanwhile at the Guardian: "When's that Dr Who thing on?" "What Dr Who thing?" "You know, that Russell T Davies spin-off without Dr Who in it" "What, Torchwood? I thought he got cancelled" "No you prat, the other one" "Noel Clarke's got a spin-off?!" "Fuck it, I'll just put tonight"
