You need to watch Claudia Winckleman on 8 Out of Ten Cats Does Countdown. She's useless at the game, but so genuinely delighted to be on the show it's sort of adorable; it's like watching a panda cub try to do calculus.

Plus, she appears to be scaring Jon Richardson to the point where he's now visibly twitching every time she squeals in his ear.

This episode? And I assume this is okay to link since it's Youtube? I'm just trying to find it because that's the most adorable phrasing I've ever heard. Kind of in the area of "It looks like she's trying to divide 212 by 32."

I am wounded about Rolf, really, really wounded. I was a massive fan of his all through my childhood in the 70s / 80s a nd always had a soft spot for that guy whenever he was on tv. I really was hoping beyond hope that he was innocent. It seems nothing is sacred from my childhood anymore when these role models you once looked up too are nothing but predators that preyed on exactly the same kind of people who looked up to him as yourself once did.

It needed to gently caress off and die ever since that Paloma Faith cover of "Never Tear Us Apart".

I mean, come on to gently caress, that was an absolute CLASSIC, and she tears the arse out of it by making it into every other Paloma Faith song.

Has anyone else been watching Badults? It's a really underrated little show. A bit injokey, with a few jokes from their podcasts, but very enjoyable.

I think the world cup episode with the prolonged Weekend at Bernie's bit was a particular standout.

SFB is frantically getting on IRC sending the signal for them with a demented hate of Badults to show up.
Did any of you watch An Honourable Woman by the way? I thought it was pretty, well acted, maybe a bit boring. I've got to give Blicks credit for wading into the middle east though.

Badults is a fun little show. It's not the next Comedy Vehicle but it's enjoyable enough.

Dear Channel 4 or 5,

For the love of all that is holy, sell everything that isn't nailed down and on fire and take all the sporting events that ITV currently has away from them. I don't want to live in a world where Adrian Chiles is one of the few people presenting football on free to air tv
