The show bounced back in seasons six and seven, but I think all West Wing fans agreed we'll never speak of the 'Leo in Nam' flashback episode along with most of season five, didn't we?

Pretty sure Britannia Shield is a character in a Jilly Cooper novel. If memory serves, she was the formidable wife of a tory cabinet member, an impeccable shagger and loved nothing more than running to hounds.

As well as a Britannia Magic Dome, Tories will build a Halo Array, a Stargate, a Dark Tower, and a Death Star - named respectively Spirit of the Blitz, Maggie's Opening, Boris-Dûr, and Churchill's Clacker - funded by sales of a new wellness smoothie made with carrot, ginger, and poor people's tears.

At some point in the last six months, for reasons none of us understand, our 4 year-old dog has become scared of the sound of rain. Given that we live in north devon, where it shits it down ferociously approx. every 7 minutes, this is sub-optimal.

I love the fact journalists think up pun headlines and sit on them, often for years, until they are appropriate. For example, when Madonna appeared drunk on stage in 2016, the Sun headline 'Like a third gin' must have been in some hack's head since 1984.

It’s the delivery. There’s a wonderful, nervous authenticity to it, at the same time as the setting of the trap. A breath of a pause - he can’t believe Farage is walking into the snare so confidently - and you share his excitement. Blissful.

It's called film "footage" because camera operators initially held the cameras with their feet. That changed after a film shoot in 1931, when an operator got a foot cramp and was forced to hold the camera in his hands. The "footage" he got that day was extraordinary. That man's name? Hans Cameraman.

Replacing television and film with Whatever All This Is has gone so well. The bright future that the disrupters came up with (a version of having a very big hard drive of indifferent content you can’t navigate and don’t value) has worked about as well as it did for music. We’re all so much poorer.
