Then some bright spark suggests community groups, but they don't have the in house expertise to do delivery cost effectively or arrange the rights (I'm assuming the BBC are not paying the CDN costs here, and they definitely aren't and couldn't clear the music licenses).
This idea comes around every three years or so, and it never happens because a commercial broadcaster needs things that iPlayer has not fully developed the infrastructure to handle (like advanced ad tech) and they understandably need to be in control of their own tech stack to afford future changes
Mine too, for supposedly fox proof bins the foxes seem remarkably able to smash them to pieces.
Me standing in front of a Bridgerton themed fountain and garden.
Nice little Bridgerton installation at Battersea Power Station, seems like a really good activation. Lovely string quartet doing the theme tune.
FWIW the rumour on this was that this rebrand is going to involve an extra "premium" range of paints that come with dropper bottle tops this summer... Of course premium does not suggest those will be the same price.
Get up, find the boy has changed his mind about his World Book Day costume, I make a new costume from scratch. He changes his mind back.
It's like living in a Great British Sewing Bee escape room and finding out the code to get out was printed on the door.
I would argue that Banijay and All3Media merging is almost as big a Television news story as Warner/Paramount but I expect it will get a hundredth of the column inches...
The consultation questionnaire is broken and loses your responses at the end which shows the sort of technically illiterate people working on this at the government.
I don't want to suggest this survey is a disaster, but if you try and submit the parents version the site breaks because it's been misconfigured and doesn't record the results.
The first one they gave as a prize from at Games Day was won by a guy on the coach from my local store. It was *absolutely horrendous* to build.
This is terribly sad to hear. RIP and condolences to his family.
Lot of nasty bugs going around at the minute, people are dropping like flies.
London’s “worst mass eviction in recent history” is underway; hundreds of households across London told to get out of their homes this week by the same landlord, ahead of the renters rights act. The landlord? Billionaire Asif Aziz’s Criterion Capital. www.londoncentric.media/p/asif-aziz-...
At the risk of losing my centrist Dad card, I feel like people who oppose the building of other towers next to Britannia Point (where bits of glass keep falling off onto the pavement and Criterion had to sued by the council) because it's Criterion trying to build them might have a point.
This is also the building where the glass fell off the 12th floor on to the pavement below and the council had to put up scaffolding as Criterion denied any responsibility and didn't fix it for nearly two years.
(But Collier's Wood is actually quite nice nowadays!)
... But it's so bad that unrevealing it might not be the worst idea.
HBO Max is to launch in the UK on Thursday 26th March.
The Pitt S1 will be on there with S2 episodes out weekly.
It will be the home of TNT Sports (£30.99 a month). Four different other packages available from £4.99 a month.
When a computer stops responding to your instructions, you start mashing the buttons instead. For the last few years, the British electorate has repeatedly voted for change – yet change has consistently failed to come. Little wonder a fair chunk of them now seem ready to kick everything over in frustration. When I used that metaphor before, it was in a quick think piece about the effects of government stasis, not an in-depth investigation into what had caused it in the first place. For that, you need to turn Power Failure: a deeply researched report written by Phil Tinline and published by the Future Governance Forum. Here’s the opening line: To restore voters’ trust in mainstream liberal democracy, Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s administration has to deliver the change it promised in opposition. To do that, the government needs a new approach to power. That approach can be summed up as “use it”. The report identifies a couple of ways in which the British government has disempowered itself. One is the way an ostensibly neutral reliance on fixed rules and objective numbers instead of political judgement has worked to bolster the status quo. The big one, though, is it’s no longer clear where power actually is. Over half a century or more, it’s been pulled out of local government and other autonomous institutions to the centre, only to be dispersed again to agencies, quangos, outsourcing firms – partly because of ideological motives concerning private sector efficiency, partly due to political ones about reducing the chance a minister would have to take the blame. The result is that, today, “responsibility sits in so many places, it sits nowhere”.

The little train here is a great day out for younger kids.
Should have finished that off really. Bah.
C'mon #Everton, all this pressure at home has to get a winner here.
No, age verification technologies are not, and cannot ever be made safe. They need to be banned, not encouraged.
peak UK to spend 5 years debating the Online Safety Act, 3 years enacting it, 1 month rendering it largely irrelevant before it's taken effect by banning the problem it was supposed to solve
Or indeed does it mean that age verification systems - which are not safe and never could be on a basic principle of data minimisation - would be banned?
Bit like how the 2nd floor of Television Centre went to the 3rd floor of the Drama Building with no stairs or ramp involved. We used to joke the interview process was anyone who could navigate to the 2nd floor of DB successfully...
What supposed evidence is this? How do we know that the behavioural problems aren't, for instance, any number of other changes such as the pressures of the cost of living, junk food, stress, living through a pandemic or anything? Teachers ought to know better www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...
Is this evidence in the room with us now? www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...
You deserve to go out after missing three penalties in a shootout tbh.
