Ian @ian262.com · 19/09/2026Imagine the naysayers will vastly outnumber me, but I am loving these three. Trusting in the #Strictly producers who cast them and hope that the "no lead roles" seen tonight continues. (Pleasing to see Emma - at least this week - continuing the tradition of Tess's horrible frocks, though.) 1114
Ian @ian262.com · 16/09/2026We'll never know, but I fear we've missed a once in a lifetime chance to see how fabulous Liza Tarbuck would have been in the Clauditorium.* #Strictly (*To be clear, she would have been VERY fabulous. And beautifully unfiltered. And just the right amount of rude.) 030
Ian @ian262.com · 04/09/2026We went to see Betty Boo at Aylesbury Town Hall. She never showed up. But one of my friends threw up in the disabled toilet and another nearly fell in the Grand Union Canal on the walk home. #TOTP 150
Ian @ian262.com · 04/09/2026Look who's on #TOTP It's your disreputable "Auntie" Jean from next door who's only just got up at midday, likes a drink and is doing karaoke. 120
Ian @ian262.com · 04/09/2026This is glorious. I don't care what you say. Welcome to the Netherlands. #TOTP 091
Ian @ian262.com · 01/09/2026Joyously, #TheSmokingRoom is back on BBC iPlayer. Which means I have about 8 hours between "No, that's the Waltons..." and Clint sawing his rat tail off... Settle in... 372
Ian @ian262.com · 01/09/2026But, of course, you can read it online at no additional cost - and virtually all other magazines and newspapers - as part of the council tax you pay for your local library... 020
Ian @ian262.com · 15/08/2026"What am I doing again in Hollywood? I've been in movies and I'm not that good...." #Madonna #TOTP 000
Ian @ian262.com · 14/08/2026"And of course the best-selling single of the theme music is available..." #TOTP 092
Ian @ian262.com · 07/08/2026But "They want a Crunchie and a mug" is still my favourite... ("Naz..." 😂😂😂😂) 0271
Ian @ian262.com · 04/08/2026Oh, nice try, (Only) Connections. I'm not falling for that... HIGH FIVE! 100
Ian @ian262.com · 31/07/2026March 1991 The studios also has a House of Commons set, and a Number 10. (There was also some immersive indoor ride thing, where the seats moved, convincing you that you were, I think, in space, or in a car, or on a horse, or all of those...) 040
Ian @ian262.com · 27/07/2026This is probably the very best "Presenter considers whether to correct a guest and embarrass them, or just leave it" pause I have ever heard... 131
Ian @ian262.com · 08/07/2026Do you not do the daylists? Even if you don't listen to them, they have the best names. 010
Ian @ian262.com · 25/06/2026Excellent work from HIVE engineers who have designed a thermostat incapable of displaying the whole word "Thermostat"... #Heatwave 210
Ian @ian262.com · 19/06/2026"Fer feckssake, stop dancing, Shane, dey'll tink we're a boyband" "Sorry, Mr Ronan, Sir...." #TOTP 010
Ian @ian262.com · 31/05/2026Just watching TV over a cuppa, and the couple on Escape to the Cuntry with the £0.9million budget say this garden is on the small side... #EscapeToTheCountry 030
Ian @ian262.com · 31/05/2026Bloody love Guy Martin on #DesertIslandDiscs. Nice to have somebody unpretentious and honest and who chooses music he likes and listens to, rather than music he thinks he ought to choose. 041
Ian @ian262.com · 29/05/2026Spirit in the Sky is a massive guilty pleasure. Loved the two Wyrd Sisters... #totp 070
Ian @ian262.com · 25/05/2026I like Victoria Wood relating when she was filming with him on the London Eye. There was a group of children in the capsule below. "If I were not a UNICEF ambassador, I would flash those kids..." 010
