Duck Amuck from 1953, a cartoon that obsessed me as a child. Unfortunately, impossible to find the complete seven minute version online which has one of the greatest pull back and reveal endings…

Love this. Dance is certainly one of the highest forms of human expression. And, from a humanist perspective, an evolutionary phenomenon. Human beings – from ancestral drums to drum and bass - have, and always will, dance. A wondrous and cathartic activity shared across all nations and all cultures.

A little thing that did raise a smile last night was seeing an interview with Damon Hill, wherein he confirmed that fewer people ask him about his World Championship win than they do Bob Mortimer's scotch egg story.

[Scene is the UK tv show BARGAIN HUNT, at an antiques fair. Presenter NATASHA RASKIN SHARP, expert KATE BLISS and two contestants are shopping for antiques.]

1
NATASHA RS:

Now Derek's spotted a real gem here…

What is it, Kate?

2
KATE BLISS [holding an odd-looking grey item in her hands]:

This, believe it or not...

 ...is the Rules Based International Order.

[We see the item close up. It is a cracked, broken, misshapen lump of grey pottery with two holes, a UN flag daubed on it, and a random wooden handle sticking out the side. 

The contestants both make a face like, “Oooh”

KATE BLISS:

It was made in America 

And it's actually what we used to stop World War 3, before everyone got bored of doing that.

So how it worked is, the Americans would speak a geopolitical issue into this hole here…

Turn the handle….

[Speaking into the object’s hole]:

Should we bomb Iran...?

[Lifting her face up from the object, smiling at the contestants]

…and then they'd just do whatever the f--- they liked.

CONTESTANT 1 [easily impressed face]:

Sounds pretty special, Julie

CONTESTANT 2 [to stall holder]:

We’ll give you £290.

[The seller, incidentally, looks a lot like Tony Blair, but that's just a side note]

[Cut to the AUCTION SCENE at the end of Bargain Hunt. The object is on the podium, the auctioneer closing the bidding].

AUCTIONEER:

Sold! £3.65.

CONTESTANTS:

Oh noooo

[We now pull back to see a wider view of the antiques fair and auction, and see that in the distance there is smoke, a distant mushroom cloud, ruined buildings]

NATASHA RS [To the contestants]:
 
Everything's riding on your mustard pot now!

[Ends]

"How does one hate a country, or love one?" Ursula Le Guin always out there expressing my exact feelings in trying times.
“How does one hate a country, or love one? Tibe talks about it; I lack the trick of it. I know people, I know towns, farms, hills and rivers and rocks, I know how the sun at sunset in autumn falls on the side of a certain plowland in the hills; but what is the sense of giving a boundary to all that, of giving it a name and ceasing to love where the name ceases to apply? What is love of one's country; is it hate of one's uncountry? Then it's not a good thing. Is it simply self-love? That's a good thing, but one mustn't make a virtue of it, or a profession... Insofar as I love life, I love the hills of the Domain of Estre, but that sort of love does not have a boundary-line of hate. And beyond that, I am ignorant, I hope.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness

Reminder that "jaywalking" was literally made up by american car manufacturers to shift the blame for accidents from drivers to pedestrians. "Jay" was a slang term meaning "idiot" or "rube".

[TWO PINTS OF BEER are on a pub bar, one is PERONI and one is a brown Christmas-themed beer]

1
PERONI:
Hello there

CHRISTMAS BEER:
Hello Peroni

2
PERONI:
So nice to have someone new on the lineup!

And you are…?

3
CHRISTMAS BEER:
You know who I am, Peroni. 

4
CHRISTMAS BEER:
I am Brown Christmas Liquid.

I come back each year. 

5
CHRISTMAS BEER:
Every time with a new name, and a new horrible ingredient.

Last year I was Reindeer Stomper. This year I am... Cheeky Elf. 

6
PERONI:
Oh god

You were on the bar for two months and…


CHRISTMAS BEER:
Three pints sold, aye.

7
CHRISTMAS BEER:
I’m a seasonal blend of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, orange peel, nutmeg and this year, for reasons of late-capitalist sadism, vanilla. 

8
CHRISTMAS BEER:
My name is Cheeky Elf,

I taste of jam,

and I want to d*e.

9
PERONI:
Well somebody’s trying you 

CHRISTMAS BEER:
Poor bastard

Christmas at the BBC
Title panel: 

CHRISTMAS… AT THE BBC.

The Traitors Christmas Special:

Who in the BBC Boardroom is trying to bring down the gaff from within?

[Image: The Traitors scene with Claudia Winkleman looking like “ooh-er” while the BBC board sit at a table looking suspiciously at each other]

Apologising To The People Who Want To Destroy Us At Christmas:

A festive extravaganza of self-flagellation before our enemies

[Image: A cozy fireside scene with Donald Trump, Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch standing, while at their feet lots of BBC employees are kneeling before them and begging for forgiveness]. 


Donald's Big Distraction:

Heartwarming Julia Donaldson animation in which a dragon sues the BBC to draw his friends' attention onto something else

[Image: Julia Donaldson’s ‘Zog’ with a Donald Trump wig, holding up a lawyer’s letter to show his dragon friends while trying to block their view of a pile of box files and computer drives some with ‘Epstein’ written on them]. 

The King's Speech:

We let Nigel Farage tell you the BBC is left wing as if that's some kind of fact

[Image: Nigel Farage as the King delivering his Christmas speech to camera].  

A Ghost Story for Christmas:

A venerable British institution is haunted by Boris Johnson's appointees

[Image: A BBC studio with a window, outside in the dark snowy night a spectral apparition in the form of Robbie Gibb taps at the window and wails “I want to destroooy you”]

Christmas Labour Inertia-Time:

Keir Starmer and Lisa Nandy present four hours of total silence from under their desks

[Image: Show them both under their desks holding up glasses of sherry]

Rightward Drift Christmas Special:

A bonanza of trust-corrosion with confected immigration panic and Reform coverage

[Image: A computer and a smartphone in a cute snowy scene, both displaying the BBC News website with multiple headlines and LIVE feeds and and BREAKING NEWS stories headlined: “IMMIGRANTS? IMMIGRANTS? IMMIGRANTS? IMMIGRANTS!”]
