In silhouette like they’re on Through the Keyhole. ‘And now for you at home but not for our panel, here’s… whose hibernaculum… it is.’
Terrible reporting, doesn’t even say which hedgehog has been chosen for the stamp.
Dylan Moran on the Buckles podcast. I'm going to try and remember his anti-machines rant every time I panic about the future. Worth a listen. Though yes I'm aware I was able to listen to it and type these words bc machines.
And none of this will make the programmes better.
Josh Luke Davis 🏳️🌈@joshlukedavis.com · 2d agoI'm sorry but this is just indicative of why the BBC is fucked, that phrase is seventeen (17!) years old! just really strong how do you do fellow kids vibes from the guy being paid to try and attract the younger audiences

My point here being: I don’t know loads about Rachel, and the bigging up from others (esp in comedy) are convincing me I should go. It was pro, not anti.
Justin Lewis@whenisbirths.bsky.social · yesterdayBeen thinking about that Rachel Parris post and while it’s true I have an aversion to massive crowds anyway, I would rather these days go see something or someone that I don’t know loads about. Also, I can’t spend £100+ on an arena gig, that’s another factor.

i don’t want to worry anyone but i’m seeing more and more comedians who could tour decent-sized rooms just a few years ago now pulling dates and, in some cases, entire tours it feels like something’s broken in the ecosystem
The obsession in media with being immediate. Just wait a bit. National radio, though. How hard can it be to just check?
RadioToday - UK & Ireland@handle.invalid · 2d agoBBC Radio 2 has apologised after mistakenly paying tribute to George Benson following a news report announcing the death of composer George Fenton.
You can always tell the customers who’ve never worked in a service industry role.

You should go and see Rachel. She's very good, but also, the balls it takes to do a post like this - in a climate where comedians are encouraged to post nothing but wins, forever - merits your attendance on its own.
Rachel Parris@rachelparris.bsky.social · 2d agoHey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶
The back stories of all the people who built the hospital.
Matt Fallaize@mattfallaize.bsky.social · yesterdayI am now dreading the idea of a Netflix Casualty, in which the bloke who has failed to properly secure his ladder, the distracted mum on her phone on the school run and the lovable nanna with dementia who's gone to the shops all get four episode character arcs.

As ever, and for the last time in connection with lying shit Jeffrey Archer, we remember Monica Coghlan, whose life he destroyed.
Extraordinary quite how many homes this found its way into. My father became seriously ill the same month this came out, and so Everybody Hurts and Sweetness Follows are inextricably tangled up with that. The last three songs are about as good a final lap on any LP. Also: the fury of Ignoreland.

My greatest #jeffreyarcher story. I was a lobby correspondent Archer was selected as the Tory London mayoral candidate in 1999...
Anyway. RIP George Fenton. Others have shared Bergerac and Newsnight and Films but there’s this one also. m.youtube.com/watch?v=99BC...

I sort of hold Jeffrey A partially responsible for Boris J. Not least the way they lost their tempers at interviewers who were any less than fawning.
i went on to follow you and it showed me a video of someone filming themselves going to a supermarket and taking individual eggs out of the box and taking them to the counter to try and pay for them. #content
Going to experiment with TikTok in the weeks ahead. My handle there is @justin.lewis.when if you want to follow me. I currently have almost no idea what I'm doing but intend to give it a go.
