that's a new series of Money For Nothing, started Monday. Sarah still sharing duties with 2 other presenters and a lot of the good craftsmen are no longer on the rosta but... I've seen every episode.
Caught 5 minutes of Claimed and Shamed and that's fascinating in its way, people making bogus insurance claims so ineptly. today one bloke had a car scrape but him and a ghost passenger both claimed whiplash injuries. their car was a mess, the car that hit them wasn't. then the investigators got their hands on cctv footage of the guy backing his car into concrete bollard at high speed...

a rosta is a cross between a roster and a rota, fact

Didn’t some smug fake judge type show take over the Jeremy Kyle hatred of poor people spot?

Voted Bargain Hunt because the contestants do find humour in losing hundreds of BBC pounds on hideous bric a brac.
Can't stand Alexander Armstrong - the singing career, the useless travelogs on C5, his adverts for Pimm's, his documentaries sucking up to the royals, his support for hunting. Fuck him.

Threads like this and this twitter discussion really bring home (though you forget bcz you aren't around to watch it) how corrosive a lot of the items have been.
He's such a figure of fun - from his 90s fury at This Morning phone-in callers mentioning his shoplifting to being such a dithering old fool he gets compared to Alan Partridge - it's easy to miss the fact Madeley plays a not insignificant role in setting a right wing news agenda. https://t.co/xqhpf8QzMv— Europe's Leading Soccer Futurologist (@TreborRhurbarb) October 25, 2021

Last time I saw Doctors, it started with a woman in a campervan listening to This Is The Day by The The, and then the whole thing spun into some bizarro Alice in Wonderland trip starring Helen Lederer and Harriet Thorpe as the March Hare and the Dormouse or something. It was fucking bonkers.

I watched quite a lot of Pointless with my sister, while we were shielding her at our place for 10 months. She wasn't the easiest of house guests, but I discovered that it brought us together, as we competed to guess the numbers. So I'm grateful to Pointless for that. Haven't watched it since!

yesterday's Money For Nothing. first two dumpers said the usual "we'll give this unexpected windfall to charity / our grandchildren". the third one, a bloke, just said "I'm saving up for a ps5".
also, Josh and Ollie are back.
