For a while I had my wife convinced that Rob Brydon was a Steve Coogan character, and any scene with them both in was filmed twice and superimposed with him talking to himself.

They only pay the salaries of world service I think, but there's still probably some grants and such and they do control the license fee.

The bigger issue is appointing management.

Seems they've been told they can't meet with Forde. From the tone of the Jessica's reply to Dawn Butler it appears that it is the Labour Party that are preventing the meeting not Forde.

Starmer argues SNP has seen “lurch to the right” during leadership election

quote:

The Labour leader argued that the SNP is “showing that they’re not truly a progressive party” or a “party of change”, adding: “They’re actually the party that’s run out of ideas, run out of hope.”

He said: “I do think there’s a real lurch to the right. I think it exposes the SNP as a party that hasn’t got a common thread running through it. Some of the stuff that’s been coming out in these debates is very much to the right.

“People would recoil from it, when it comes to discussions about family rights, abortion rights. It shows a party that’s completely disorientated without any core progressive value.”

While he's obviously a massive hypocritical arse, he's technically not wrong about the SNP. it's not far-fetched to say Forbes might win the leadership race, and as I said earlier, the indy die-hards seem quite happy to throw progressive politics under the bus if they think it will advance the cause.

SNP chairman resigned today over misleading SNP membership numbers as well. Just a shambles all round.

the polling of the actual membership so far seems to still put Humza as the favourite, though that does come with some caveats as this sort of thing is hard to measure precisely. Forbes being anything other than a complete joke candidate is in itself pretty damning. the upside is that forbes and regan have burned so many bridges it's hard to imagine them and their supporters having much sway at all in the party if Yousaf does win. providing he does, of course

It's always kinda weird how Australia produces more nazis and more virulent communists than we do. I guess Murdoch owning 70% of the print media there contributes. There's a good youtuber to pay attention to who recently got firebombed for his anti-right-wing journalism

You can also be either a woman and a feminist, or anti-fascist. There are just no women in antifa.

Or if there are some, it's peachy for them. They only have to deal with nazis, not violent trans rights activists. Nazis are junior varsity stuff.

The Young Ones got a Blu-ray release remastered with a 1080p picture recently and while it's still a little grainy in places it's night and day from the old fuzzy dvds or even vhs you might have watched before.

Never bothered with blu-ray, more than happy with my dvd collection as far as viewing quality goes and i'm not buying them all over again for a new format.

edit: got the Young Ones box set years ago, much fun. :)

Blu Ray was weird because it kind of appeared, then never really took off, and then the average person just moved straight on to streaming video.

I used to collect physical copies of movies and I went back to DVD because I like lending people films they might not have seen* and literally nobody I know has a bluray player.

* and then complaining that it was a limited edition release when I don't get it back

Christ, how small is your TV?

Blu-ray is like night and day vs DVD, especially on most modern 4K TVs

Edit: I've got a fairly big DVD collection too, but I've been pretty content buying new stuff on blu ray and gradually replacing absolute classic stuff too (usually when I get an urge to watch it)

I'm old - I watched them on 'live' tv. I even went to see them (well not as The Young Ones) live at Raymond's Revue Bar in Soho.

For some reason the doormen were able to identify who was there for the striptease club and who was there for the comedy theatre.

All those 'alternative' comedians were there including the now disgraced Chris Langham who was hilarious and I loved & still remember his owl impression.
French & Saunders wittering on about an orb - I didn't find them very funny and never have since.


Re VHS boxed sets - I spent over £350 on 6 series of Xena Warrior Princess on VHS back in the 90s . I spent hours playing them on a vhs player and recording them on to my computer before I moved abroad and ended up giving them away on Freecycle about 15 years ago. I swore never again to buy a boxed set of anything. I don't even have a DVD player anymore let alone a VHS.

Oh and The Water Margin. Had all those on VHS too - '1000 years ago in Ancient China the souls of 9 dozen heroes were reborn' etc. I tried torrenting them again about 15 years ago and it kept getting stuck at 99.8%.

Come to think of it so much of my teens / twenties were spent watching rebels fight dodgy governments LOL maybe it informed my politics. Even at primary school I was addicted to The Flashing Blade. (It's right to fight for what you want and all that you believe).
