I have just binged ‘A Very Peculiar Practice’ and it is a hugely underrated comedy. The Bob Buzzard character in particular is unmatched. Well worth a watch. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

A Very Peculiar Practice
At Lowlands University, Stephen Daker is a brilliant doctor, but a disastrous human being. And then there's the nuns... Andrew Davies' cult 80s comedy drama starring Peter Davison.

How Reuters captured the photo of former Prince Andrew leaving custody
Slumped in the back seat of his Range Rover, a visibly shaken man once referred to as the "Playboy Prince" stares ahead of him as the car leaves Aylsham police station in Norfolk, England.

The photographer’s finger hovers over the red-eye reduction button in the editing software. Just this once, maybe not, he thinks.

I'm not prone to exaggeration but this is probably the biggest scoop I've ever been involved in Mandelson's partner took £10,000 from Epstein to pay for his osteopath course while Mandelson was de facto UK deputy prime minister, according to new files more to follow www.ft.com/content/c950...

Admittedly not his worst crimes but we can now add a lack of punctuation, the absence of capitals and (worst of all!) a tendency for triple spacing to his rap sheet #Epstein
