The new Muppet Show is perfect. No reinvention of the wheel; just a decent episode in the finest tradition of the series.

The old guy always has a scythe, too. The baby never does. What month do you suppose he picks that up in?
Every New Year's we see the cartoon of the old guy with a beard and the young baby, representing the outgoing and incoming year.
We never see a cartoon of a middle-aged dude around July or August.

I'm confused about one thing, Ms. Bondi. Maybe you can help me clear it up, then I'll leave you to your work... If the Democrats added Trump's name to all those files, why didn't they release them *before* the election?

Channel 4 have been doing their Big Fat Quiz of the Year for decades. But the kids from Mitchelbrook Primary school never seem to get older. They should be in their 30s by now.

After four days with my parents, watching the TV they watch, I can tell you two things.
1. I could absolutely beat the Chasers.
2. I'd lose everything at Tipping Point. There's too much high-level strategy involved.
