HIGNFY got a bit of a nerve laughing at Ed Vaizey for falling for the Archbishop of Canterbury/Bernard Manning hoax because he read it on the internet, given what happened last week

"We've got this idea for the staging. We all start off sat on thrones and..."
"Forget it, your single's going down. You can borrow some chairs from the canteen, but you can fetch them yourselves" #totp

"Yeah, Billie, you might as well record a performance of your next single while you're here, it's bound to be an equally big hit" #TotP

The keyboardist from The Supernaturals surely the least famous panellist on Never Mind The Buzzcocks, though you can see what a card he was

It's real! Woof!

People slag off Des'Ree's ghost toast, it wasn't even the worst lyric of 1998

Howling #totp

Excellent work director. All the other Spice Girls doing sad doe eyes at the camera, then there’s Emma grinning like she’s off her face on eccies. #totp

Watched that this morning, it was a really hard round I thought (although about the only one I got was the pointless Leslie Jones)

Fawlty Towers, "Basil the Rat": the Major spots the offending creature in the bar.

Brand new on Dirty Feed: what was special about the Fawlty Towers episode "Basil the Rat"?

Short version: it had two days in the studio, while every other episode only had one.

Long version: www.dirtyfeed.org/2025/10/tc8-...

More messy fun from Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow - This is from the Forfeit Auction, a regular fixture of the Sunday show where various messy tasks would be auctioned to the highest bidder. Here, the task is The Dictation Kid - sadly, the winner doesn't seem to take well to being drenched in mushy pe Dick and Dom in da Bungalow - Forfeit Auction, Dictation Kid

20 YEARS AGO TODAY: the winner of Dick & Dom's Forfeit Auction has to take dictation, a vehicle for Ian Kirkby to show off his tremendous Eric Morecambe impression to an audience that for the majority will likely have no idea who Morecambe is.

Happy memories of the Mitchell and Webb sketch Coverage Of People Deciding Whether To Live In The Bahamas Or Dorking

Although my mum learned in her mid-thirties and she is the biggest worrier on the planet, and I went through the lessons thinking if she could, anyone could

I didn't learn until I was 24 and now I haven't driven for ten years I really don't think I could do it again

Only for this week, due to inconvenient 55 minute drama later

After my flatmates frogmarched me to the hairdressers in 1998, I had gone from the Oldest Hanson to the lead singer from Ultra

Very much enjoying Angela Rippon reading out pop culture stuff on Pointless, her delivery of "True Steppers with Dane Bowers" today was a delight

Saturday Morning Fever As Multi-Coloured Swap Shop turns 40, guest blogger Steve Williams remembers those Saturday mornings spent watching telly until lunchtime.

Happy Saturday Mornings Day! This was a pleasure to do to mark the fortieth anniversary. Let's hope there's something special to mark the fiftieth www.bbc.co.uk/webarchive/h...

A few years ago I almost got to use a Simpsons quote in real life as someone had referred to the composer Jerome Kern in a billing as Jerome Kerns, and if it had been the other way round I could have said "It's Kerns, stupid!". But it wasn't

"I don't see why not!"

Love the phrase "on the phone"

My other half amazed just now when I said my gran wasn't on the phone until the late nineties, but that was quite common in those days, wasn't it?

This is great fun, especially Ant confirming the crossbows are in place ("Hmm, it'll do, Dec!")

"BRAAAA-ZIIIIL!"

Yoghurt lid had a hole in it this morning

Used to be the comedy discourse used to repeatedly alternate between "the sitcom is dead/the sketch show is dead" ad nauseum
