I'm 17 episodes into a Twilight Zone (1959) watch and I'm quite convinced it's the greatest show ever. Each one is a small jewel of a complete movie that fucks off in 25 minutes and then Rod Serling smokes at you and tells you to come back next week.

Looking at the details of all this, what Man City did is so much worse than I thought. And their defence case seems to turn out to be "the Abu Dhabi government didn't pay for the sponsorships, the sponsors did and got massive grants from the Abu Dhabi government to help pay for them".

I recently visited a brilliant ARP for secondary pupils with autism which teaches a Life Skills class amongst normal lessons. How to cook, how to do the laundry, how to make the bed, how to get the bus, how to deal with money etc. etc. Really good but did make me think all kids should get this.

I think it's absolutely mad that today there's a *national news story* about 400 oil platform workers losing their jobs, and the government being blamed. 25% of the UK TV industry lost their jobs in the last 4 years and we never hear a peep about it! Some jobs are 'real jobs' I guess.

Would be fascinated to know what happened behind the scenes here, it was on the shelf for ages, shown in a slot they had never used for comedy before or since, in a weird forty minute duration and clearly very heavily edited to the extent they didn't say hello at the start or goodbye at the end

Someone on NOTBBC used to tell the story about writing for short-lived C4 panel show This Week Only which was recording on 9/11 itself, and they had no idea what they should do so just completely ignored it and this topical comedy show went out two days later with no reference to it at all

It's easy (and fun!) to criticise Edmonds, but the way he handles the studio audience here once the cameras are officially off, and how he facilitates the studio guest being well served, are a masterclass in how to deal with these disasters. But as Jon hints: the meetings after can only be imagined.
