What, pray tell Yorkshire Live, are these 15 highly desirable UK DVD titles that have significantly appreciated in value over the years?
You might want to make a cup of tea, mainly because it's a better use of your time than reading this thread.

Surprise surprise, turns out Caroline is even more unnecessarily hateful and delusional on the outside of the Big Brother house. No doubt GB News will be lining her up for a show before Christmas. #BBUK

Just grabbed the new DWM on my way to work. Looks like some great stuff in there, but I was most eager to read their review of the Season 13 Blu-ray...
...but there isn't one?
There is, however, a brief, generic mention of AI ("creative people are using it as a powerful tool") in the letters page.

Watching BBC2's Girlbands Forever. I was a lowkey fan of girl groups in the late '90s - not something a teenage lad at a rough North Manchester school would readily admit to - so plenty of nostalgia for me here.
The descriptive captions whenever Easther Bennett sings are a bit weird though.

I like how Peter Serafinowicz even keeps the "extremely incompetent failing business" joke going right down to the sole choice of delivery company

Nothing on this planet can make me belly laugh quite as hard as Beavis And Butt-Head... huh huh, I said hard.

I haven't seen The Wild Geese at the cinema. This may have to change.

Not saying anticipation is low, but today I discovered an official trailer for the catchily-titled* THE WAR BETWEEN THE LAND AND THE SEA dropped on 31st May.
152 days ago, and I had no idea. And I'm a massive #DoctorWho nerd.
*come on guys, "The Lives And Loves Of A Sea Devil" was *right there*

I know barely anyone cares about Big Brother anymore but I'm amazed how ITV, a channel supposedly committed to encouraging mental wellness, are hell bent on enabling this wretched, immature 56 year old woman in her relentless bullying of a 60 year old man in the name of supposed entertainment

Bidding a fond farewell to Prunella Scales today.
Recently watched her in Mr Big, the rarely seen 1977 BBC sitcom about a family of incompetent criminals, made between series of Fawlty Towers. She was by far the best thing about it, often the case where Prunella Scales was concerned. RIP

Just caught up with the latest posts in the temporarily unlocked Gallifrey Base thread. Suggestions that picture settings may be to blame for people seeing artefacts of AI processing.
"Might also be worth checking [HDMI] cables are up to date."
Jesus wept.

BBC Video to John Nathan-Turner in late 1992

I actually said it's probably fairest not to judge still frames taken from moments of rapid movement, as that is where AI would likely struggle the most.
Here's the specific shot that set alarm bells ringing when the YouTube trailer dropped. To my eyes, it just looks unnatural.

I don't know about you lot, but I might spend my extra hour tonight replying to weary YouTube comments from people who seem to think I don't understand how to use my own fucking 4K OLED television and feel the need to point out to me that Blu-ray is superior to DVD.

Shit. I should have called the video "New teeth. That's weird".
Ah well, too late now.

Since yesterday's AI chat I've had a few requests/questions about what happened to all my old YouTube videos - God knows why - so I've just made (most of) them public again to avoid repeating myself. I'll probably take some back down again once I've settled on my long term plans.
So yeah, go nuts.
