Older bloke from Nottingham. Politically closer to the left than the right. Likes (in no particular order) cats; roots reggae; woodworking; dad jokes. I'm very sociable unless you're a fascist. Proud MDant.

I wonder how many people will actually watch it. I haven't got Disney plus and I certainly wouldn't pay to watch it.

Got lost in a couple of old BBC publications - "Broadcasting House" from 1932, and a Picture Book from 1950, both of which are catnip for the likes of me. Something fascinating on every page, pretty much. For a start - Dimbleby Senior in pensive mode.

They ran with it for at least a quarter of an hour. I switched off in disgust then.

Fucks sake Sky News covering the Baldwin trial and the judges instructions to the jury before the process begins while in the UK three women have been murdered by a killer still on the loose.

One of the great products of the collective lockdown spin-out was the BBC making available an archive of HD photos of TV sets for people to use as Zoom backgrounds.

Four years ago we were in the middle of a huge fiasco about whether to wear masks in public or not.
Within a couple of weeks, Tory MP Desmond Swayne described mask wearing as a "monstrous imposition" that would make him less likely to go shopping.
Never forget, eh. #covid

Labour needs to scrap photo ID during elections, no real need for this as voter fraud is minuscule proportion of population - Rules requiring voters to show ID may have stopped 445,000 casting ballot, study finds 👇
