The #traitorsUncloaked really is a rubbish format. Podcasts as BBC One telly is just stupid. There is no life to this - no wit, no swagger, just talking heads. It needs to be more like the Adrian Chiles years of You're Fired, or left to BBC iPlayer Radio #Traitors
This. Exactly this. Gave me nightmares for years. *Shudder* aLT text: Dr Who and Striker remove a panel from a wall to reveal a monster with big green eyes and sharp claws bursting through.

Just finished a rewatch of Life On Mars / Ashes To Ashes. Minor spoilers ahead. The final episode is both satisfying and unsatisfactory. I don't like seeing Gene helpless. A lot happens without full explanation - just implication. Should have been ambiguous? Makes me pine for another series

He doesn't look a day over 45... back in 1969, this is what the Daily Mirror thought Prince Charles would look like when he was middle aged.
Was reflecting last night on the ongoing validity of the #licenceFee and the need for us to pay for #PublicServiceBroadcasting: something struck me ... the BBC is older than television. Auntie started in 1922, the licence fee started in 1923 and is based on the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1904.
I've said this a few times this week - the Beeb needs to adopt an Ally Pally mentality. Find studio space and give people permission to create in it. Low budget, rough around the edges, theatre, comedy, plays, drama, lectures, book at bedtime ... Just make stuff and see what sticks.
Philip Ralph@philralph.bsky.social · 3w agoAnyone who sees this and cannot join the dots between the end of the BBC and the end of the UK’s world renowned TV industry… frankly, I despair… We need change, yes. We need to get good at making low budget risky TV again, absolutely. But axe it and say goodbye to anything but mid Atlantic dross.

Absolutely loving the sheer bonkerness of the #LastNightOfTheProms. It's always a joyous celebration of the Proms concert season - one of the best things the licence fee gives us.

This #Iphone18 launch event: I reckon they'll do a rug pull at the end and say this is all made in AI. It's looking very uncanny valley at times.
In the bizarre world of rail tickets, a friendly train ticketing app gives me a price. Accidentally press wrong button and close the browser. Go back on and the price jumps £20. Do it again and it changes again, but the previous lowest fare has gone forever.

Train travel in the UK: Truly nothing more frustrating that someone refusing to move from the seat you've reserved before it has even left the station at the start of its journey. Now standing in a corridor as a result. Even worse - TrainPal never reserves parent & child seats together.
This jumble sale approach to merchandising of magazines in WHSmith and TGJones infuriates me. News and mags can be impulse purchases, but you need to see the covers to make a snap decision to buy. The stores have a unique proposition on the High Street and they act as if they are ashamed of it.
£1.36 for a bargain bin Mars bar in WHSmith. What was it at full price? Five squillion pounds? How I miss the WHCarpet account.
