I hadn’t really thought about Boris Johnson for a long time before he popped up again today. It was bliss.

Welcome to Our Village, Please Invade Carefully - Pilot - BBC Sounds Sitcom about an alien invasion of a small English village. Starring Katherine Parkinson.

BBC Sounds is starting a repeat today of Welcome to Our Village, Please Invade Carefully, one of my absolute favourite radio sitcoms (written by @eddierobson.bsky.social btw) You should listen to it, it is *funny*.

If I ever became a wrestler, I think my walk on music would be Keepy Uppy from the Bluey album.

Remember in the Twitter age when Pizza Express was threatened with 'folding' and 5,176 people made the joke about 'so now it's a calzone'. Let's learn from history. Just nominate one person who gets to do the gag and move on.

Look. Don't shame me like this. (I missed the Pizza Express one, honestly!)

I honestly never saw it. I did try searching for it but saw nothing in the past few months under 'calzone hut', didn't think to go back further,

Just saw that Pizza Hut in the UK could be folding. I think that officially makes it Calzone Hut. Eyethangewe. I’m here all week. Try the veal.

This is sad news. FTS was a great read.

What a dirty little fucking piece of shit carrier bag this is. Should be ashamed of itself.

For years I’ve been bemoaning the fact you couldn’t stream Moonlighting anywhere in the UK and the DVDs were out of print and stupidly expensive. Well, @christhebarker.bsky.social has made me aware it’s ALL now on the STV app. Have at it.

I bet you'd have given anything for a glass of cool spring mountain water while watching.

My favourite is: Jimmy McGovern refreshed the police procedural by focusing on criminal psychologist Fitz (Robbie Coltrane’s career-best role) who gets results despite or because of his own personality disorders. No notes. Perfect. Despite or because of the way that it is written.

You can tell it’s early when I read that as domestic terrorist streamers.

This is well worth backing. I missed the first few issues as I was skint at the time, but if you want to read brilliant articles on pop culture and beyond then give it a shot. Check out the digital β€˜Best Of’ for free as well!
