Have seen only a handful. But of the ones I’ve seen, only two would make *my* top 100. They are Planet Earth and The Thick of It

I’ve seen 64 of the NYT’s best 100 TV shows of the 21st century. And don’t really disagree with the inclusion of any of those. That’s a good hit rate.

Lots of research shows that people *really* want to see leaders stepping up on climate change. We call this "appetite for leadership"

Well, this is extraordinary. Median disposable income *a week* is £600? A week! I don’t have £600 of disposable income a month, let alone a week.

Perhaps some of you are thinking, “It’s a house boat, so limited décor choices. Let them off.” Nah. Whether on land or water, a bad bathroom is still #badbathrooms 🏆😉

This year’s El Niño is on course to be the largest in at least *1,000* years. That’s going to drive excess heat into the atmosphere and combined with man-made heating will make 2027 the hottest year ever recorded. #climatecrisis

What will be done about the bats in Carol’s cottage, once her things are cleared out and Anna has terminated the tenancy agreement? Presumably, if the house is to be re-let, the hole in the roof where they’re going to and fro can’t just be left as the house wouldn’t be watertight? 🤔 #Thearchers

Still cross about the racist man from Dawlish on R4 ‘Any Answers’ this aft who was allowed to deliver the complete lie, live on air, that ‘only 1% of small boat passengers are genuine asylum seekers.’ That should have been challenged *immediately* by the presenter. But wasn’t. 😬
