I agree with every word of this about studio audience sitcoms. www.comedy.co.uk/tv/features/...
comedy.co.uk
The studio sitcom isn't dated - it's been withdrawn from sale - British Comedy Guide
Audiences still love narrative comedy played to a live room, so why have broadcasters stopped making it? The case for bringing the studio audience sitcom back.

What's a Piddington? Is it where the peas live down at the bottom of the garden, among the birds and the bees?

@human007.bsky.social Hi, I still have the Cloppa Castle episodes. Did you want me to try and get them to you another way?

Here are all the archive TV shows I’m looking for. If anyone has them or knows someone who does, please let me know! I've tried YouTube/Internet Archive/various production crew members and found the odd episode here and there but not full series, so any help is greatly appreciated!

Feeling rubbish and like I'm not getting anywhere with finding archive TV shows, old cartoonists or advert information at all. Yes I know, it's niche and unimportant, but I need some positive vibes sent my way if possible.

I still maintain that Earthanasia is the best episode of The Goodies. A great bottle episode and purely character development in a single room in just under half an hour. Also, Bill Oddie shaves off his beard and the audience are more shocked than amused. A sad day today.

The next leader of the Labour Party should be a woman. Pass it on.

Quite aside from anything else, it is just so profoundly depressing that the prospects of a woman Labour leader seem to be falling away. Again.

Maybe Angela Rayner is secretly hoping Andy Burnham will lose the by-election so that she can fight Starmer and Streeting herself? Maybe? I just don’t get the fuss about Burnham. He’s not the saviour everyone thinks he is.

Have all journalists just forgotten the whole "the next leader of the Labour Party should be a woman" thing?

Mark Bungle @markbungle.bsky.social · 11/05/2026
@andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social Why has nobody pointed out that several (including Starmer himself) have said previously that the next Labour leader should ideally be a woman? Also, why isn't Louise Haigh vying for the role instead of/as well as Angela Rayner? www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Next Labour leader ‘ideally’ a woman, says Starmer
The Labour leader spoke of his hope that after he steps down his party could for the first time choose a female leader.

I don’t mind Andy Burnham, but Starmer and others have previously said that the next Labour leader should ideally be a woman. My choice remains Louise Haigh, but Angela Rayner would still be a good choice. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

There are two times of year when you really notice the lack of popular hit sitcoms and sketch shows. Christmas TV and Comic Relief Night.

Does anyone have any sway at BBC Wales? The sitcom High Hopes is not available on iPlayer and all 6 series and specials have never been released on DVD, denying the writers and actors royalties. The live chat I did on iPlayer's website was pointless; no requests allowed and very rude and dismissive.

Having been listening to various remixes of Two Tribes and being reminded of the dreaded Threads, I'm glad the BBC News headline banner has finally reduced in size to normal. Feel like I can calm down a bit now.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social Here's the problem with the BBC. They put the announcement of Hannah Spencer under the Manchester and Local News headings, and that's fine. Except Reform's is under Politics and makes the front page. Why isn't Hannah's candidacy front page news?
