Good choice. First came across them on The Crow’s soundtrack with After the Flesh - think they ended up in the film too but I might be getting all mixed up!

I spoke to my folks (avid linear watchers) about ITV. Aside from the News at Ten, they’d no idea of what was on; ‘It’s all Reality TV and Talent Shows’. Think the last drama they watched was Mr Bates & before that was Endeavour. Had to think; the first thing I’ve watched all year was Trigger Point.

I liked her too.

And as footnote, liking Pulaski and Crusher isn’t mutually exclusive, though my old flatmate might disagree.

This is reminding me of Dunlop whose brand has been scattered to the four winds.

Was my thought when I saw SNW on in a graveyard slot. People *will* still watch, you just have to put it in at the right time.

But I assume “I’m a Celebrity” makes more money. I assume people still phone a premium line to vote for someone off a soap eat kangaroo wotsits in their thousands.

I’d love to see their Xmas offering for 2025 after the abysmal 2024. Days when linear is still big - like Xmas day - broadcasters need to take advantage. I can’t help but get the sense that ITV is done. Until Trigger Point returned, I don’t think I watched anything on there. Not even sport.

And the trailer - there’s a bit of flashing light in there, just so you know.

I would like to point out that the she identified that the plant needed to be made safe and did it for you *without being asked* so should therefore be compensated with treats & most certainly, chicken.

That’s what I have been reliably informed by my cat when he’s performed similar acts of heroism.

Why do I suddenly feel likeI’m about to embark on an Interocitor build? All I’m missing is Robert Nicols holding up a component, looking at me in confusion and saying “It’s not like an EPROM I’ve ever seen Cal, but it checks out.”

Never understood why Berkeley didn’t support the NEOS mouse that was bundled with the C64 for a while. To me it was a no-brainer, but to Berkeley it might have be impossible!

Unless it’s Anaglyph 3D and requires a pair of specs that are only available with the Xmas 2026 Radio Times, I’m out.

Recall a guy in an ICPUG magazine talking about it for use with GEOS. Seemed to be quite taken with it. But let’s face it - you’d take a mouse over it any day!

Exactly. Then and only then can the showrunner start to right the wrongs of the last 20 years.

• Canonising David Burton as the “My agent accidentally told a Proton dealer I was the New Doctor” Doctor for future montages.
• All regenerations to be performed by Sylvester McCoy in a Harpo Marx wig.

“WAKING UP” for the love of Tom Baker not walking up.

You mean that Tim Cook is going to sneak it on my iPod in the dead of night whether I want it or not?

Genuinely surprised EastEnders is still being made, as I thought it had been cancelled.

Then I realised it was Doctors that got the chop last year around this time.

I’m keen for the franchise to break new ground and not fall back on cliche (“If it bleeds, we can kill it!”)

But like the Xenomorph, the Predator only really works when used sparingly. Predator isn’t about him, but the psychological impact on the humans he’s hunting. Something most sequels forgot.

I know LLMs churn out rubbish, but if one is prepared to compromise on writers, I’m sure that editors and quality checkers will not be far behind.

There’s already plenty of AI slop padding out websites and YouTube videos already.
