Last night was just lovely. Manchester (and looking how far some people had travelled, the North West) is so lucky to have XS Malarkey. You can see big names, rising stars and absolute freaks for insanely low prices every Tuesday night. The comedy fan's comedy club. Very precious.

Happy Birthday XS Malarkey. 28 years of Tuesday night comedy. Last night’s line-up (@jainedwards.bsky.social @nottomburgess.bsky.social Josh Glanc & Chloe Petts) was a testament to the night’s ability to allow all sorts of brilliant comedians to thrive! Thanks to our gang, our venue & our audience.

Happy 60th anniversary to Thunderbirds! Let's take a deep dive into the series' remarkably epic production history and inspiring nature of its optimistic spirit of techno-driven adventure. gerryanderson.com/blogs/blog/c...

Thank you for going to the trouble of making a show especially for me. Seriously though - if you miss the days when TV Cream used to make podcasts and also want to listen to two eloquent, knowledgeable people who really value television, then this is definitely one to subscribe to.

Danny Thompson RIP He's played with The Pentangle, Kate Bush, Everything But The Girl, ABC, Nick Drake, Talk Talk, Rod Stewart, John Martyn, David Sylvian, T.Rex, teh Thunderbirds theme, Peter Gabriel oh god all sorts

Story here of one of my nicest experiences at the Edinburgh Fringe, at the end of an incredibly demoralising month!

The Sun Makers

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

So a quick reminder to everyone on the right of politics: please don't take medicine, ever.

Amazing to think, if my mum hadn't had a headache over Christmas 1990, I wouldn't even know what a Dalek is.

Bearing your cross is a lot easier with wheels.

"Ed Davey should do more to be taken seriously, like fold his arms and look almost at ease."

Hearty congratulations to Cambridge.

Call me a patrician elitist all you like, but I do believe we should place less import on the thoughts of cretins.

BBC News captures Doctor Who himself Sylvester McCoy at the Trump protest seemingly unaware of who they're interviewing.

I wouldn't say standards are slipping at BBC News, no.

Say what you like about Tommy Robinson's fans, but they scrubbed up in record time for the Last Night of the Proms.

We’re pleased to announce that Richard Marson’s long-awaited history of BBC Children’s TV will be published on November 17 in trade paperback and a collector’s hardback, limited to 300 copies. Order Box of Delights: The Story of BBC Children’s Television now from tenacrefilms.bigcartel.com

2025 Netflix: *boring tudum noise* 1980s BBC Video: *epic psychedelic stargate disco space laser show*

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has finally confirmed that his party would cut support for many claimants of disability benefits if it won power at the next general election, with the cuts focusing on those he claims do not “genuinely deserve help”. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/farage-final...

News Presenter: 'We are of course aware of the hideous beliefs of Bluesky users through our own thorough use and reporting of social media sites owned by a South African Nazi and a paedophile's best friend...'

Again, I really do have concerns about exactly how Justin Webb is acquiring his knowledge of US politics or what prompted him to make this exact point.

🎵 Lots of news and opinions, Topical and witty, All from Piccadilly Gardens In the heart of the city 🎵

Hello! Through the Square Window is a new podcast all about what we used to watch on British TV. Hosted by @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social and @gkw.bsky.social, the first ep launches Wednesday next week. A two-minute preview is available now. Just search for us, wherever you get your podcasts.

One of my happiest memories performing anything. To think that this exact moment two years ago, we were nearly four pages into Episode 1.

Writing a birthday card in 2003

This entire book is a nightmare

Yes, Peter Mandelson did write in the Epstein book, a multi-page letter with photos. Screenshots in thread. page 1

credit to Holly Allen on our art team (not on Bsky I don't think) I did not realize you could actually check the signature against _a different friendly note he wrote to Jeffrey Epstein_

This detail from the WSJ’s new Trump-Epstein reporting also seems pretty bad www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Sure everyone on the right of Western politics concerned about protecting women and girls will be all over this.

A good test case for whether journalistic standards are slipping at the BBC, where an article veers between the authoritative, factual voice of one author and the irritating, faux-folksy gossip of the other.

On the same day in the Telegraph:

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Nadine Dorries failed Maths cos she thought a polygon was a bird that's flown away

Nadine Dorries doesn't like the cinema because there's no motion smoothing

Nadine Dorries thinks the puppy runs Andrex

Nadine Dorries' favourite Bond film is the ads on ITV4

Excited finally to be doing the full quiz in Manchester. Come along down to @xsmalarkey.com on Sunday and join in, telly fans! Some seriously undesirable prizes on offer.

If you’re near Manchester and you like what I like (archive TV, comedy), you’d have to be daft to miss this opportunity to be in the presence of Peter Fleming aka @nottomburgess.bsky.social on Sunday night. wegottickets.com/event/673651

Labour's next biggest losses are to left-liberal parties (Liberal Democrats and Greens). Reform's growth in support has mostly come from the Conservatives and non-voting (much less from Labour). These reflect patterns of party-bloc voting that we saw in the 2024 UK GE: tinyurl.com/y5pv7thw

Let Down by Radiohead has taught me the valuable lesson that it's worse for a song to get big on TikTok than it is to be used in an advert.

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)
