This story about the botched execution in the USA is barbaric, disgusting and deeply disturbing. #BBCWATO

Chris Dixon posted this on LI and I had to share it here. It’s just too good, the @jonronson.bsky.social twist is superb…

The image shows a film poster “The men who stare at Boats” featuring, Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Danny Tommo, Ruper Lowe and Angry Balaclava man.

We had such fun, making this. It starts tonight on Radio Wales and is available on Sounds, straight after. A sitcom. On the radio. Imagine that.

I had the loveliest email exchange with Dame Esther, just a few weeks ago about a programme I’d made. I know she could be formidable* as a tv exec, but she was nice to me! *other words are available.

Regular readers will know I have a theory about “self loathing” Radio 4. A fresh example, this morning: “Our Friends In The North” is back as a stage show. Good. So it gets covered on Today. When R4 did a major (and excellent) adaptation, a few months ago: nothing.

MrsD and I have been together nearly 30 years, but it was only *last night* that I learned her primary school never incorporated BBC or ITV schools programmes into lessons. This seems unimaginable to me. No Watch, You & Me, Words & Pictures, Picture Box or How We Used To Live. Did yours? Surely!

I just saw a clip positing that Tom Cruise is charismatic. The Tom Cruise of now has negative charisma. He is a human manifestation of the feeling that someone has walked over your grave.

Never felt as old as when, this morning, I referred to “the rag and bone man” to a young neighbour. I might as well have been referring to my involvement with the Boer War.

What an extraordinary project, “7 Up” has been. Undeniably flawed in places, by modern journalistic standards, but a brilliant historical document. A remarkable legacy for the late Michael Apted. Highly recommend the final two instalments on ITV.

The fact that many of the people on UC are also working is not mentioned until way, way down in this Times story. Same for the detail that lots of previous benefits have been phased out and rolled into UC. But above all, the TPA is a pressure group funded by people who avoid and evade tax.

The BBC’s Spencer/Diana/Charles story still running since Wednesday is little short of madness. It’s programme promotion, book PR, gossip and shit stirring. Nothing more. What has been ignored to keep this crap running? It’s shameful.

I actively enjoy laughing. I really want to laugh. I’m easy to make laugh. I’m forgiving and encouraging and acknowledge that jokes come in all shapes and sizes. But, 39 minutes into this week’s SNL UK and I’ve got… nothing. Literally nothing. Royal Blood are funnier than everything so far.
