The new Charli XCX/John Cale one ("House") sounds like it should have a co-writing credit for Hans Zimmer

Manson kindly repeating "talk of the town" at the end of that track in case you were struggling to work out that it sounded like Pretenders #TOTP

That movie left me with a lot of nagging questions. Are we ever going to get to see these protagonists get old and pass the torch to a new generation of heroes?

Incidentally if you were disappointed by the lack of dance music in those 1998 Popses then the boy Autobahn has you covered (from several weeks ago) youtu.be/xE7geYxr6F0?... #TOTP

Oh, we can't have James Bond star in this one? Here comes Jiddy Bond with his new girlfriend, Jixie, to take on Bucanneer "Blowfish" Blofeld on his pirate hideaway.
In fact, why stop there? Bring back Pierce Brosnan as an aged former James Bond who sits in a rocking chair and talks about FPS games.

Fire Emblem support conversations like "I hate you and I'm looking forward to killing you, you despicable worm" "The feeling's mutual, toerag" and then *ping* you're now official best friends!

I have heard and enjoyed it a large number of times but because I am A Bit Dim it's taken me noticing that Yazz has a badge with a rainbow pattern on it to realise what "Stand Up For Your Love Rights" is, presumably very obviously, getting at #TOTP

"Crush" by Jennifer Paige feels like it _should_ be a 10cc-style "it's not like I like you or anything baka!", but I think she genuinely actually doesn't really like him #TOTP

I had just finished watching "The Anniversary" (thanks to @dirtyfeed.org making me think I ought to watch all of Fawlty Towers at some point) when someone messaged me with the news that Prunella Scales had died, which seemed oddly apt as an episode choice.

It's a week of second-place finishers being touted as the real winners by a sympathetic BBC News, so I expect the day to end with the news that Heather Humphreys has won "the moral Presidency"
