Samira Ahmed@samiraahmeduk.bsky.social · 2w agoPeter Watkins BFI Southbank season alert. Kicking off with a fine panel event with me+The War Game screening - banned for decades by the BBC.

Watching The Avengers: 'Mission... Highly Improbable' and do you know that Nicholas Courtney and Kevin Stoney worked together on TV in 1965 (Who: Daleks' Master Plan), 1966 (Watch the Birdies, directed by Camfield), 1967 (The Avengers) and 1968 (Who: The Invasion) Anyway, just thought that was neat
So many media campaigns concentrate on London (I remember Paramount+ being everywhere, but no sign elsewhere) cos that's where the execs live/work. But if you'd stuck this in, say, Truro or something you'd have so many more people posting about it cos these weird campaigns never happen there

Why does the BBC Weather logo have those little blue dashes, it makes it seem like there's always rain on the way, which is confusing and depressing

"There ought to be a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Actors.” As I, Claudius is back on BBC Four, here's an investigation I did a few years ago into a notorious review of the show which, as far as I can tell, never actually existed. www.dirtyfeed.org/2023/11/s-p-...
I still don't even know what the ChatGPT interface even looks like (is it an app?! Don't answer, don't care) If you can't trust it, it has no value for me.

I often find myself remembering Cleese talking about how disappointed he was when he met Malcolm Muggeridge for the Life of Brian debate and saw this once-sharply comedic mind he enjoyed growing up reduced to spouting such pitiful, reactionary, conservative nonsense…
Robert Llewellyn@bobbyllew.bsky.social · last wk.I once had the privilege of sitting on a panel with John Cleese. He was delightful in person, but I have to say I’m not overly staggered he’s voicing support for a proper nightmare extremist.

Reached the end of our (deliberately) slow watch of The New Avengers in 4K, and what's this sneaked on to the final disc?! An early trailer featuring the screen tests with sound and unused material from the first title sequence?!? 😍
