Jeremy Brett set the bar so high, who would you cast in straight adaptations?
In 1989, Renault chose to advertise their new Renault 21 with this frankly incredible homage to Scarred for Life Year Zero programme The Prisoner. Enn Reitel stands in for Patrick McGoohan's voice at the end. They tried to get the man himself, and I can imagine how well that conversation went...

Happy International Women's Day!
AI doesn’t have intelligence and isn’t sentient! Stop it!! We can’t even treat living beings (humans or animals) with empathy and respect. Maybe work on that first.
A reminder that we have a new episode out on Wednesday, with @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social and @gkw.bsky.social talking about TV shows from March 1979. That includes...

Just shut up about Churchill.
"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"
No matter where you are, the leopards will find you.

Graeme Garden's birthday today. A man whose uncanny, almost eldritch ability to sit doing seemingly almost nothing in a group of fellow comedians and then walk off with the entire show in his pocket thanks to single killer line is unrivalled. Man's a genuine genius. Happy Birthday, Graybags.
I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

A job is just a job. Something you do to get paid.
its not your identity. or your life.
