My pledges as Director General:
* New channel - BBC Brooker to feature Charlie Brooker doing whatever he wants
* Cricket will be mandatory
* I will be provided with all the answers to Only Connect in advance of transmission so I can look clever

My pledges as next DG:
• Shows where famous wankers glance at clips of old shows on iPads and say ‘that’s great, isn’t it’ punishable by death
• Every accusation of imbalance to be met by a statement from me, the Director General, as follows: ‘up your arse sideways’
• Job retitled King of Telly

Imagine if Zuck resigned and the Facebook spokesperson read Zuck's statement live on Instagram, outside their San Fran HQ.
It would be proper meta.

The subgenre deep dive for this week’s @realmsunknown.bsky.social is Villain-as-hero.

@tpneenan.bsky.social is our guest and he just watched the new Predator movie where one of the ruthless murder-monsters is Our Cool Protagonist.

15 or so years ago, I went out to narrow the angle and slide to pick up the ball in a 5 a side and as I did the idiot who was about to take the shot pulled out of the challenge. I yelled in pain and grabbed my wrist. The referee sent him to the sin bin for the challenge.
