Again, please, I'm begging you.

"We're just normal men."

"...and that's the real quiz."

My new Doctor Who Blu-ray set arrived! (Except it's Season 25 because I sat on the fence when it came out, regretted it and leapt on new stock appearing. Season 7 also on its way!)

FUN FACT: the audition process for Blue Peter presenters (make a Christmas card on camera, demonstrate a new toy, interview someone on a trampoline) was copied wholesale from how they select the new Pope.

I wonder if we'll hear more about young female voters or young male voters.

Sent various submissions to DMs Are Open last month, and I'm currently hopeful that in a few weeks I'll get an email saying, "We thought that sketch was great, but then the Pope died so we couldn't use it."

Just been watching #CPAC. Think that's Liz Truss in the corner?

Blue Peter (22nd February 1973). Captain Mainwaring and Sergeant Wilson pay a visit to the BP studio.

Brosnan and Dalton exchanging catty putdowns as a deepfake Connery flies past in Little Nellie.

I am excited for all of the James Bonds to team up and stop all of the Blofelds. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Strangely enough the Telegraph looks less ridiculous with Sunday Sport stories.

Good luck to everyone for the live EastEnders tonight. I was in NC1 for the last one in 2015. One of the most terrifying moments of my professional career up to that point. (I’d be far less scared now, but I was still new and relatively inexperienced then.)

Desperate for Bluesky to set up draft folders. I'm thinking something about Donald Trump that I can't legally post online but want to feel as if I have.

Tours of the TV studios at Alexandra Palace sold out faster than Eras tickets, and I am sad.

The dream scenario is he goes in to investigate and gets handcuffed to a small nuclear device which immediately detonates.

Look, I have my disagreements with the guy, but this is a disgrace

And of course, who could forget this news being broken live on BBC1? As featured on Into the Archives with Peter Fleming! shows.acast.com/into-the-arc...

SHOESHINE BOY: [Getting on one knee] Can I shine yer shoes, guv… [Taking out ring] for the rest of me life? FACTORY FOREMAN: [Tearing up] oh my god oh my GOD

A job that simply shouldn't exist, and a waste of people's money.

"this lives in my head rent free" i swear to god what are you contrasting this against? a system in which you charge rent to things you've seen or remember??
