Steph's Packed Lunch

Weekdays at 12.30

My other half seems to like it. Whether that’s due to the presence of John Whaite, I’m not sure...

Murray Walker has died.

Believe if you get knighted and become a Sir, you retain it in name when you go. Obvious example here is Jimmy Savile, which is still technically a sir, as it was never rescinded before he died so...

"Channel of the Year"

BBC1 and BBC2

As much as I don't like the tags, at least Channel 5 did them well - nice simple fades and off at the end. BBC Two just looks pants, but sadly that's what we've come to expect these days.

Loose Women Wins RTS Award

Well deserved. Seems that some of the recent changes to the format may have made a difference.

The Circle

Civilian cast revealed

Interesting twist to kick things off, although quite a confusing one to work out how it is going to be executed without looking far too obvious to the other players

The BBC Coat of Arms

Why don't we see it on TV anymore?

Did he keep pausing the lecture to tell you what was coming up after the next song?

ITV SD regions are closing

Split from ITV Programming Thread

I suspect those who have a SD only box, and have not bothered to upgrade their box to HD probably can't receive a decent freeview signal. The ITV news articles suggest such households with just...

Big Brother UK - Nikki Grahame

I found this out on social media and I am pretty worried for her. I just checked out the page and the target, thankfully, has been reached and exceeded. The original target, I discovered, was reached...

And that's the same documentary with clips in a different order, and with "NEW" in the title.

Gordon Ramsay's gameshow in the tardis

That's not how it works. Even productions made by BBC Studios are paid for by the licence fee if they are commissioned by licence fee funded channels.

1980 film Rubbish Tips with The Two Ronnies

Thanks for the link. I had read Ronnie Barker and Eric Morecambe were good friends. I watched The Two Ronnies in the late 80s, although it's the 22 years of The Two Ronnies compilations I remember...

BBC One promo DOG returns

Split from Oneness on lockdown - new idents for BBC One

I was watching Bloodlands last night. They showed the promo for new Line Of Duty last before the programme, and then that bloody promo DOG still showed up after the recap for a few seconds. I said...

The Big Breakfast is back!

One-off special in 2021 / Split from The Big Breakfast

Reduced to £4.95m now, so £800k off the original £5.75m. Sadly suspect it's more likely to feature on Location, Location, Location than the revival. Indeed the interior probably isn't quite...

Trevor Peacock (Vicar of Dibley) Dies

No no no no no no no no no no, yes.

I wonder if there'll be any mention of him in the Comic Relief sketch. With the synopsis simply being Dawn French lip-synching to Lizzo, I don't think we'd miss much if it was replaced with a full...

I’d agree, but at the same time they’d probably be keen to get the South Africa base back up and running. Also from ITV Studios point of view, it’s a month or so without any of new clients not...
