No one is piling on. I thought it was clear that I was simply making the point that the tiger shouldn't be demonised by the media, nor should it suffer the consequences of someone's decision to enter its enclosure. Far too many times this has happened before in zoos and the animal has been put down.

UPDATE: Police have confirmed the man has died, and Altai is uninjured. I'm not going to speculate about the man, I'm just thankful his actions weren't fatal for the tiger which was in its enclosure and acting totally normally and instinctively. Horrible situation all round, really.

It's always about the human when this happens, and always the animals that end up paying the price. Hoping and praying the tiger is unharmed.

Headline should be: Man endangers life of endangered Amur tiger by deliberately entering its enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park

And that's to see SIX of the original cast. The same seats for Harry Enfield's solo show, at the same venue, during the same week? Double the price, with tickets very much still available.

As expected, a significantly shorter edition of Harry Hill's TV Burp on Rewind TV last night, omitting over three minutes of material at the expense of participants in The Real Mrs Robinson, a 2004 Sky Mix dating show. Never to be aired again! (pg 86-90) www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/r...

As we knew it would be. I'm no expert but I'm guessing the last wholly B&W repeat on ITV1 must be the first edition of Corrie for the 50th anniversary in December 2010. That almost feels an impossibility now.

This was honestly one of the best decisions I've ever made. Not just cos it looks nice and I enjoy using it, but an equivalent system from the same company now costs well over a GRAND more and they don't even offer 96GB RAM anymore. And we all know why, don't we?

He would be paid the same regardless of how long he stayed in the game, so maybe he thought "fuck it, that'll be good money for two days work".

This is fun: at 07:54 you'll hear John Witty, the voice of T-Mat, testing out mid-range tape recorders that Dr Who fans were very likely using to audio record the programme off-air in the mid-1960s. youtu.be/k01-lnUe2WU?...

I think you've just answered your own question! It exists to introduce pre-schoolers to Dr Who. Hook 'em when they're young!

And before any boring bastards starts moaning about "woke" (don't follow me!), I think it's perfectly valid to provide content warnings for old shows - especially if it helps keeps them on air - but it does seem to be increasingly applied across-the-board now, to even the mildest of vintage shows.

U&Eden: "Frank Spencer's heart's always in the right place, even when everything else goes wrong: with outdated humour that some may find offensive, here's Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em." I'm old enough to remember when they reserved content warnings for the likes of Alf Garnett and Love Thy Neighbour.

Celebrity Juice - at first it genuinely tried to be topical and could be very funny at times, especially with the right guests. The truly execrable Keith Lemon film signalled the character was wearing thin but the arse was well and truly dragged out by the time Fearne left. Haven't gone back since.

I'm told the original is on YouTube but I've not had a chance to compare. My only thought was perhaps there was language which would be deemed untransmittable today, but it doesn't excuse the presentation! Perhaps it's just a sign of the times.

I would say the same of suggesting the incoming production team can either "seize hold" or "explain the event away", rather than simply ignoring it outright. The new folks shouldn't feel obliged to find their way out of that particular cul-de-sac if they don't want to.
