That's a shame. He was one of the last few good TV personalities left.

Yeah, the Simon Mayo tactic. They do that when they wanted to get rid of you but don't have a reason to fire you.

Reply to What is going on at the BBC? by Kagedeah
No idea. I stopped paying my licence fee years ago. It got to the point where I would only watch Top Gear, Robot Wars (the return), Doctor Who, and a few BBC4 docs. It wasn't worth it after they went down hill.

Oh no. It's got one of those things that every kids mom has a box of in the bathroom. How will they ever cope?!
It's not an animated character, and is on screen for all of five seconds as part of a crowd scene.

For a long time the only profitable Sony group was SCE/Playstation. They wouldn't want to add another money pit to their portfolio as they would have to start pumping out content to fill it.
I think it could be a good thing (especially for ourselves), if they just let their content rotate around the streaming platforms.

Reply to comment by Knowlesdinho in Why did the 90's offer a larger variety of broadcast kids shows than the 2000's-present? by sgavary
Oh the end of Saturday morning TV hit me hard even as an adult. Born in 78 with older siblings, Saturday morning TV (in the UK) was a staple TV viewing before I could understand what it was. And as I grew older, I was their prime target audience as an 80s kid.
Then into the 90s it was just what we did. Even later, waking up still hung over from the night before it became something to sober up to. Come in to my 30s, it was background TV as we did the chores.
Then one day it was all gone, replaced with some shitty cooking magazine shows. For years after, I would still find myself waking up, head still clouded with sleep and putting on the TV out of pure muscle memory and being disappointed that the piece of my childhood was gone.

Reply to Genuinely wondering why some people still buy bottled water in 2023? Why not buy a water filter and pour it into a reusable bottle? by gabfvckingmartel
Apparently in the US the tap water is that bad. Every where else (in the western world) it is just a convenience at the time.

Reply to I've been watching Midsomer Murders on and off and two episodes so far have been top notch. by Any-Satisfaction-770
It's a shame that some of these shows don't have a bigger audience outside of the UK. There really is some good TV in our detective shows.

Worst pick for a host. The guy has zero personality and is as inoffensive as you can get. There won't be any of the banter that you got with Noel Edmunds.

They're still in the casting stage for this? Seems like forever ago that they announced the show.

Yes, but for the worse. Now we get mini/split series with half the run length and a years break in between and up to 3 years for the next full series(season).
The season breaks are so long that the cast members & crew go get other roles in between runs, which delays further filming when the TV networks decide start production again.

Given the way that the media likes to throw these headlines around without any further research into the respective fields, I'm not surprised.

This might sound daft but hear me out? That room doesn't have its own circuit breaker does it?
Looking at that ceiling makes me think that you live in a rather old house(?). Before modern standardisation was introduced, a lot of old wiring was a hodgepodge of random wires going to some individual rooms, and later on when it came to "modernisation", it was easier to just re-trace old wiring paths for particular rooms rather that ripping the walls out for a complete job.
