The guy running the “Personal Transformation Session” in ep1 of Adam Curtis’ Shifty is so similar to Lester Beck from The Day Today. I wonder if @aiannucci.bsky.social et al had seen that footage back in the day.

Footie fan or a stranger to the terraces. Doesn’t matter - download Crowd Legends. It’s an excellent daily play game from new Dundee-based mobile games studio 532 Design. I’ve had lots of fun supporting them for the past couple of years. Find their debut title on the App and Play stores today.

Marina Hyde on @trientertainment.bsky.social breaking the first rule of BBC Redux club. Don’t think I’ve heard it discussed in a mainstream forum before.
