Terry-Thomas is largely remembered for his suave womanising persona in a raft of cinema hits, but long before that he was instrumental in defining what comedy could be and do on television. It didn't mean a happy relationship with the BBC though... comedy.co.uk/features/comedy…

Look at the character in that studio set. Studio sitcom is often maligned now but they do a much better job of looking and feeling different to each other than single camera sitcoms.
BBC Television Centre, 26 Oct 1974: Harry H Corbett, Wilfrid Brambell record the last STEPTOE AND SON, a Christmas Special (fittingly with an upbeat ending for Harold). Corbett was 49; Brambell 62. They continued to work together on radio adaptations, variety tours, TV ads.

We're so close to inventing TV
Netflix is considering adding always-on TV channels, like ones that play shows or movies from the same genre, similar to what Tubi and Peacock does. vulture.com/article/netflix-…

🚨 NEW: A Labour source says Keir Starmer feels "betrayed" "He gave everything to Labour, including sacrificing much of his children's teenage years to help make the party electable. He feels deeply betrayed, especially by those he believed were loyal to him"

I sense that political obituarists are preparing to run with the line that @Keir_Starmer was a decent fellow, but ill-suited to politics. Honest but naïve. Well, have a look at this and then try to tell me he was honest. The signs were there from the start.

Hey Observer Just to remind you of the actual results of your polling over the last 18 months. As you seem to be trying to spin it to say something else. You're welcome.

Starmer to Burnham is a frying pan to fire job for the country, but the knowledge that Starmer's huge, but fragile ego will forever be tormented by the fact that he couldn't last as long as and will be remembered even less fondly than Johnson offers some small consolation. – at Ware, East

Victory '45 in all good bookshops
JD Vance: If you go back to WW2 or every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
World War II ended with unconditional surrenders by Germany on May 8, 1945, and Japan on September 2, 1945, rather than negotiation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconditi… archives.gov/milestone-docu… nationalww2museum.org/war/topics/end…

I still don’t understand why the News Of The World had to shut down but the Labour Party can just carry on.
Britain has had a generation of politicians who chose elite respectability over the tens of thousands of young British girls groomed and raped by Pakistani gangs. Andy Burnham is the epitome of that generation. He is not fit to be in public office. Must watch 👇

Beggar My Neighbour, one of those wonderfully rich 1960s sitcoms mixing class, family and a changing society, marks its 60th anniversary today. Mostly wiped and largely forgotten, it ran for three series on BBC 1 with a fantastic star cast. comedy.co.uk/tv/beggar_my_ne…
