Offically Lovely Stuff, here.
Agreed. His stuff for kids’ comics was Tiswas, his Viz strips are OTT.
A must read. Calamity James - and all the Tom Paterson chaos going on around him - seemed excitedly out-of-place in the Beano when I was a kid, so it's nice to see he's still going in there to this very day.
Another "Giles' Jolly Jumpers", but this time the jumper is adorned with a threat of legal action from Brandreth's solicitors.
Followed a couple of months later by:
Magazine page with a heading "Giles' Jolly Jumpers" purportedly showing off Giles' funny knitwear but in actual fact him wearing a jumper with "I'm a Wanker" on the front.
God bless Zero magazine.
You're definitely right there, a step up from the Hallmark Channel, which served as the unlikely home to first-run Breaking Bad and (I seem to recall) House.
Iran should say they've chosen JD Vance as their next supreme leader, for a laugh.
The ever brilliant Mark McMillan (of APFS) has launched a website that should be catnip to TV presentation fans. 182 reconstructed TV clocks!!!

Ooh, that's handy. Thanks for that!
"Ooh, that channel seems to have loads of good programmes. What else is on there?"
"Not telling you. How about a full listing for UKTV Style?"
FX289 trailer caption for Penn & Teller: Bullshit.
Trying to research some airdates on something yesterday, it's remarkable that Sky's FX289 channel (later 'FX', even later 'Fox') was all over broadsheet "Must Watch" columns (The Wire, The Shield, Carnivale et al), but no papers ever ran the channel's listings. Which seems an odd decision.
See, at first glance I just assumed that video was the station ident for a South American cable TV channel. It definitely has that 'vibe'.
I didn't, but I remember them at Glastonbury doing Golden Retriever dressed basically as yetis. Fair dues for commitment to the bit.
Yay! Super Furries! Also: Wizbit's let himself go. #TOTP
Shirley you can't be Bassey, more like #TOTP
Has the Geri Haliwell song ONLY JUST been released, or is there Gallup-riggin' shenanigans going on to get it up the charts again? They played it *weeks* ago. #TOTP

The only number 1 song about positioning a painting #totp
Why can't we just have five minutes of the good BSB instead? #TOTP

Not a single 80s #TOTP tonight, lads.
Q. How often will this one be shown on #TOTP?
A.
Aim for looking like Liam Gallagher, land on looking like Joey Barton. #TOTP
Ha!
Actually, is *this* the shield?
"Here, play this arcade game."
"What does the flashing "INSERT COIN" mean?"
"Don't worry about that. Your character is the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. Look, you're doing really well!"
