Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same.

Google nails it:

TLC and who?

he is macho, and he is a man. he loves slim jims. oh yeah, and the other person is gorgeous george, who was apparently macho man's manager at the time.

I'm assuming he's a wrestler.

a wrestler, yes, but that was more of a launching pad for his music career imo

Real heads know that there was only one Gorgeous George:

Yes, that's the only Gorgeous George I know about. Apart from Gorgeous George Galloway *vomit*

"OnThisDay 1980: Toyah Willcox introduced Steve Strange, Vivian Stanshall, Derek Jarman and Christopher Biggins to Space Invaders. Nothing about this clip makes any sense..."

Fabulous.

Would love a photo of Emo Phillips next to Rowland S Howard.
Or RSh next to Jerry McGeorge of the Shadows of Knight

is that an official BBC account transferring copyright in perpetuity to Facebook?

no, copyright doesn't work like that. anything that gets sent to facebook or twitter (or sky or youtube) remains copyright bbc. they get to stream it, which actually saves the bbc bandwidth, but they don't get copyright.

(streaming rights for programmes are typically a month, but clips are different)

when I looked at Facebook in 2007, the boilerplate for an account was that anything you post becomes (c) facebook

did this change for individuals too?

https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms

this is all pretty standard - without this only you would ever be able to see anything you posted...

3. The permissions you give us
We need certain permissions from you to provide our services:

Permission to use content that you create and share: You own the content that you create and share on Facebook and the other Facebook Products you use, and nothing in these Terms takes away the rights that you have to your own content. You are free to share your content with anyone else, wherever you want. To provide our services, however, we need you to give us some legal permissions to use this content.
Specifically, when you share, post or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights (e.g. photos or videos) on or in connection with our Products, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free and worldwide licence to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate and create derivative works of your content (consistent with your privacy and application settings). This means, for example, that if you share a photo on Facebook, you give us permission to store, copy and share it with others (again, consistent with your settings) such as service providers that support our service or other Facebook Products that you use.

but that's not copyright.

I'm pretty sure that language is more limited than eleven years ago but

without this only you would ever be able to see anything you posted...

"transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free and worldwide licence" has three of four conditions granting them rights that are not necessary for them to show your photos to other people. Since I could see that BBC clip, their privacy settings mean that while the BBC can still show the material themselves, Facebook can also sell it to anyone else, or sell a permanent licence to another party.

it still isn't the "transferring of copyright" you suggested it was. and nowhere does it say permanent licence. if the copyright holder (which remains the bbc) takes it down then it'll be taken down.

I'll be careful to use "surrendering" or "handing over" in the future! (my recollection is that the old language had in perpetuity, in media not yet discovered, through the universe and so on. but that current language doesn't say it's not permanent.)

Damo Suzuki and Daevid Allen (not that unusual that they'd be together, but a nice pic nonetheless).
