Love this article. I’ve always loved Texas.
It is a complete rarity for shows to be increasing linear television viewers during a series (and before the finale) but that is what #TheTraitors is doing. 8 million last night.
Wasn’t sure what to make of all the #HeatedRivalry hype, but it really is THAT good. Binged the entire series in a couple of days and already desperate for series two. Amazing writing, soundtrack, plot, cinematography, and acting performances. Wow. Also can’t get #AllTheThingsSheSaid out of my head.
RTD knows what's up #heatedrivalry
7.9 million people watched #TheTraitors last night, rising to 8.1 million peak. It is the highest for a regular series on linear TV yet.
I’ll be so annoyed if they murder Jessie, she’s fast become my favourite faithful. And I really hope that at least one of the two remaining traitors are banished before the final - I don’t want either of them to win the show. #TeamFaithful #TheTraitors
Yes, Kylie! Finally a brand new festive song for Christmas Number One! And Kylie’s first number one in over 20 years! So pleased. #ChristmasNumberOne #XMAS @officialcharts.bsky.social @kylieminogue.music-social.com
I knew very little about Joe Marler before this, but he’s fast become one of my favourite contestants. The best Faithful and probably the person I’d most like to see win the entire series. I can see big things for him after this - and deservedly so. #CelebrityTraitors
Loved the #Brookside #Hollyoaks crossover so much. Such a clever way to celebrate #Hollyoaks30, and having #PhilRedmond, the creator of both, make a cameo was such a lovely touch. Great to see such a buzz around both shows. Can’t wait to see how it carries on later in #HollyoaksLater
Getting rid of the early release so everyone had to watch at the same time; 2006 flashbacks; Zoe and Max returns; the best Doof Doof of the year so far: tonight’s ep was absolute peak EastEnders - it was as good as some Christmas Day episodes. What a time to be an #EastEnders fan
Used its arrival on Netflix as an excuse to binge #NormalPeople for a 3rd time this weekend & it just gets better with every watch. No wonder Paul Mescal won a BAFTA for it. An absolutely faultless, sublime drama. Perfect soundtrack. Impeccable casting. All the emotions. TV gold.
Really enjoying #Outrageous on U&Drama. The story of the Mitford sisters is a fascinating one that makes a compelling TV drama.
Aside from killing off Martin (which I still think was a big mistake), the Chris Clenshaw era of #EastEnders has been truly phenomenal. His final ep really has the feel of a series finale, after 3 brilliant years. The Six, the 40th + nostalgic build-up, Yolande, Phil, and so much more - what an era.
I remember reading Brian Wilson’s biography in my late teens and being blown away by his brilliance. I’ve been a fan ever since. A true musical genius. Sad to hear of his passing, but he leaves behind God Only Knows - one of the most perfect pop songs ever recorded.
So excited for the final of #RaceAcrossTheWorld. It’s been such a brilliant series. I really like all of the finalists and wouldn’t mind any of them winning, but my favourites from the start have been Caroline and Tom.
Where are the #BritishSoapAwards, ITV? Is this because #EastEnders won everything?!
Watching the hour-long, Christmas 1997/Review of the Year episode of #TopOfThePops on BBC Four (I was 13 when it originally aired). So far I’ve known every single word of every song. What a great year of music - and amazing how much the music of your youth stays with you. #TOTP
Binged #Overcompensating, the new show on Prime, in two nights and it’s absolutely brilliant. So many great characters. Keeping everything crossed for a second series.
2/2 Estonia becomes a viral hit. Austria don’t do as well as everyone’s predicting they will (personally I really don’t get the hype). I’ve got a prediction for the UK too but don’t want to jinx it by saying it out loud.
Happy #Eurovision to all who celebrate! Ahead of the final, here’s my current top choices (couldn’t get it down to just 10!) - but the order could well change tonight.
My predictions? Sweden win the Public Vote, France win the Jury Vote, Portugal get a surprise Top 10 place. 1/2
Strange! My vote for Aus got straight through
How on earth did Australia not get through? One of the best performances of the night. That’s crazy - especially as a few really dull songs got through. Shocked Ireland didn’t make it through either. #Eurovision #MilkshakeMan #Eurovision2025
Votes cast for Denmark, Australia and Ireland. #Eurovision #Eurovision2025
Here’s my top ten from #EurovisionSemiFinal2 #Eurovision2025
This is already shaping up to be a strong #EurovisionSemiFinal - loving Australia and Ireland.
My top five all made it through to the final - Sweden, San Marino, Netherlands, Iceland and Estonia. #Eurovision2025
My top ten tonight. #Eurovision2025 #EurovisionSemiFinal1
Back in the days when TV’s had Teletext, I remember everyone used to put subtitles on for the whole show. It makes sense being able to translate the songs so I agree others could well follow Italy!
I was too distracted by the extreme voice to notice…
I think it’s unlikely we’ll hear it again on Saturday…
