Hahaha good point

great

How you do this all the time is beyond me

I’m a week before submitting a manuscript. Is it normal to want to scream into the abyss continuously?

The sole Iranian athlete is not participating in the Paralympics, as they are not able to make it to Verona, C4 commentators say.

Not sure it was a good idea to do the Paralympic Opening Ceremony in Verona. Hardly any athletes because they're competing hours away, and a lot of athletes boycotting Russia and Belarus participating anyway.

Channel 4 juggling Winter Paralymics coverage and Crufts live coverage in a weekend. An achievement for a commercial public service broadcaster.

Genuinely expecting Clare Balding to be presenting Crufts and the Winter Paralympics at the same time by now.

We honestly need Nadia back on television.

Put her on The Traitors. Get her on Real Housewives Of London. Fling her around the Strictly dancefloor. Let her host BBC News!

A joy. So good to see she remains just as iconic as she was 20 years ago.

I still think about this block probably changed the British broadcasting landscape for the worse. Terrible policy decision.

The BBC today advocating that other PSBs could use iPlayer for their programmes in the future.

How 20 years ago a similar idea was blocked by the regulator, before the streamers came along.

BBC: “The current model cannot maintain the BBC’s public service mission for the future.

"When 94% of people use the BBC each month yet fewer than 80% of households contribute, reform is needed to deliver sufficient funding in a way that is sustainable and fair for all.”

BBC says ‘irreversible’ trends mean it will not survive without major overhaul In opening response to charter review, corporation points to ‘mismatch’ between TV licence rules and viewing habits

Here's a good overview:

BBC asks to end political board appointments:

"The BBC is unique in having a Charter that expires every decade and this fixed end-date which threatens its right to exist should be removed. There should also be changes to board appointments and how funding decisions are made about the BBC."

"The current funding model - designed for a different era - cannot maintain the BBC’s public service mission for the future. In addition, the BBC is calling on the UK Government to recognise the role played by the World Service as a global beacon of media freedom and take back full funding."

BBC Response to Green Paper:

As well as content on YouTube they say:

"We will open up BBC platforms like iPlayer and Sounds to other UK content providers, so the country can retain scaled PSB services capable of competing with global streamers."

Mock the Week has been confirmed for a second series on TLC.

Richard Osman is standing down from Richard Osman's House of Games.

Wow worst photo in the world of me there thanks

Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.

Due to breaking news Must Watch will be a movable feast.
