That doesn't sound very "between".
In a statement, Archer's publisher HarperCollins said the author died "suddenly and peacefully at home" on Monday between writing sessions.

this is just pathetic, all around; the joke theft, the choice of avatar, the butchering of the punchline…

Bergerac was one of the greatest theme tunes of all time. He did Newsnight and lots of the early 90s BBC News themes as well. And Telly Addicts!

Well, this is lovely. I'm glad this show is around so my kids get to still experience proper Saturday morning telly. Just a shame it's not on BBC One where it should be.

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.

miss piggy: But of course, darling. I am an open book, a tell-all memoir. Emma Frost reads Miss Piggy's mind, a phantasmagoria of Miss Piggy's greatest hits in the Muppet-verse.Wolverine: Forst? She legit?

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
