Surprised Channel 4 let it go, unless it wasn't their decision?

Celebrity MasterChef Christmas special was fun because the judges had to be glowingly positive about even the most inept or half-hearted meals.

15 Storeys High, one of the most criminally underwatched sitcoms of the early 2000s, is on iPlayer and very much worth your time. The same applies to Catterick, which is all up on YouTube.

Channel 4 has a new Jimmy Carr game show called "I Literally Just Told You," where half of the questions are written on the fly based on what has already happened in the show. In the final head-to-head, the contestants write questions for their opponent. It's just silly and logistically impressive enough to be a fun watch.

Watched a bit of this, and I can't believe that people are as thick as poo poo not to remember stuff said to them just moments ago. 50 years ago you had people memorizing sports stats from the last century before for questions with no clues. 30 years ago you had people selecting the answer from four possible ones. Now you have to remember what was said 10 minutes ago. Like wtf. Edit: Actually if they were intentionally drunk, it would be the funniest program ever.

Just have to think about it differently: game shows are meant to entertain the viewers, not the people playing them. People answering questions that 1% of the audience knows isn’t very fun to watch. But answering questions that 100% of the audience knows… now there an idea.

Gee I just thought of a couple more: I remain fond of Monty Python and Fawlty Towers and I think John Cleese is a massive dickhead, and I remain fond of Blackadder and I think Stephen Fry is a bit of a titHYPOCRITE WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suppose the sensible thing to do is to make a list of things I should ban myself from enjoying due to people being involved in their production whose views and behaviour it turns out I find objectionable

"The Mezzotint" I can't believe it. Twenty years after The League of Gentlemen, Mark Gatiss has finally been involved in something good?? Made me wish wish BBC would do a whole series of 30 min long adaptations of old timey ghost stories.

It's cute that Jimmy Carr has put out his own cancelled/silenced special on Netflix despite having never actually upset anyone other than gammons who only knew him as the cheeky chappy from 8OO10C. Also it's nice that he managed to have identical conversations with audience members sitting in the same seats as when I saw him two months ago, including the one he's currently enjoying headlines for.

I don’t think this is fair. Jimmy hasn’t complained at all about being silenced or cancelled, and the title is a reference to the dark humour and the obvious Pullman title gag. The second charge though is much more interesting… Edit: my wife informs me Carr was in that Bacon doc, in which case I’m perhaps slightly wrong…

I don't know if he's publicly said anything about it but the show is definitely angling for that sort of thing. This is the Netflix banner image (which I appreciate may not have been chosen by him):  It just comes across as sort of desperate.
