Weird how the only show taking place in an actual war zone isn’t part of the War Games tour.

Sky will stop broadcasting The Simpsons from November. A true end of an era. Since September 1990 its been on the schedule, and was a major selling point for the subscription service. WWF, Premier League football and The Simpsons were basically what you were paying for.

Look at the beauty of that Sky promo from 1995. Royal Rumble 95, Manchester United vs Newcastle and a new Simpsons episode. £16.99 a month for the full package. Only place to see Jeff Jarrett, Eric Cantona and Krusty the Clown.

I can’t stop watching this. A jet-lagged Kurt Angle watching Johnny Vaughan cluck like a chicken in a TV studio that was more like a student house party at 7.46 am. It used to be better.

I could be wrong, but I’m not sure a wrestling show with two confirmed matches that could take place anywhere else on the planet qualifies as an essential reason to travel into a war zone.

#OnThisDay 1992: Chris Evans and Gaby Roslin were fronting one of the most talked-about new shows on television. Sarah Greene visited the presenters of The Big Breakfast, Channel 4’s bold new morning programme, which was produced from three lock-keeper’s cottages.

Scott Hall being asked if he’s a fan of Irish pop group B*Witched while sat next to Mel C, Nick Tilsley, and Sonia Fowler. I can’t cope with this.

Did nobody think to smarten up Scott that this was a kid’s show? He was such a rascal.

I’m absolutely howling at Scott Hall delivering a shoot interview to a room full of 11-year-olds in the Live & Kicking studio.
