If you missed this from me a couple of days ago, it's some fun nonsense for a Sunday morning.

Here's an article from the TV Times from the week I was born.

Must be a French thing. Can I interest you in 'L'Agence Tous Risque'? youtu.be/_-tUoCjOjk4?...

This afternoon's viewing is The Armando Iannucci Shows.

Brand new on Dirty Feed: today is the 50th anniversary of the studio recording of Fawlty Towers, "Gourmet Night". That episode's famous ending is pictured here. But it wasn't the originally intended finale. Instead, things were going to get rather more peculiar... www.dirtyfeed.org/2025/09/luck...

On this day in 1995, BBC One began a new series (which I have no memory of whatsoever) called Backup. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backup_...

Re-watching Brian Pern. So good.

My mind has blown! An unaired pilot for Every Second Counts has surfaced. In a parallel universe, instead of Paul Daniels and the classic theme they had this version with Russell Grant!
