The death of multi-camera TV: a thread. I know most of you will know the technical parts of this (and may have read it in the other place) but bear with me. 1/ 🧵

Probably the last time David drew Mr Benn.
It's a treasured souvenir.

Huh - I really was not expecting Haaland's taste in both modern and canonical classical music to be this good.

We got our own version of 'Thursday Murder Club' on NITFLIX, but it called 'THE MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY MURDER CLUB'.
It about a bunch of elderly Ogrons living in a retirement home.
But it less about SOLVING murders and more about PLANNING them!😁

Ooo the newest iPhone has an eye that opens and looks around while you're asleep. The eye is fully organic and if you put your ear near it you can hear it sliming as it swivels in the socket.
It is looking for things you don't need to worry about.

It's so weird how people always say Ghandi instead of Gandhi. Like, why is that 'h' so impatient that it has to jump the queue?

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

Doctor Who script editor has success with new radio series. No idea what colour supplement this was from, or the date - 1978 I guess as the second radio series had not yet been broadcast. #h2g2

This is EXACTLY the era when I was most familiar with all the cars. It took seeing this clip, and knowing all the cars, for me to realise I no longer know all the cars.
Basically, this video from (checks watch) 30 years ago, looks more familiar to me than looking at the cars out of the window does.

Youtube just suggested I watch this old Morrissey song and it's nothing special but I really enjoyed seeing all the cars. If you want to know what the 90s looked like, it looked like the cars in this video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmKd...
