Only Murders in the Building is back on Disney+, and still excellent.

I’m also a fan of the “Just One Cornetto” song returning during ad breaks

So glad it’s back. This week’s episode was brilliant.

 

Season 3 confirmed. Yas!

Boys from the Blackstuff Episode 4. Yosser's Story.

I'm old enough to have seen this first time around and 40 years later it's still very disturbing and upsetting.

Not without some humour (the "you're Graeme Souness" scene, "I'm desperate, Dan" and "I could do that" as his front door is boarded up) but the relentless emotional and physical boots in the balls endured by Yosser were all too symptomatic for many during the Thatcher years.

The kids were played by the actors own kids

Is the whole series streaming anywhere?  Watched GBH a few years ago and it was quality so fancy this.

Aye, Alan Bleasdale's three weans.

Quite a few well known faces in it; Jean Boht and Gilly Coman from Bread, Michael Angelis (the 2nd voice of "Thomas the Tank Engine") and Ricky Tomlinson.

Did anyone else see Maryland on BBC 2 earlier?

 

I caught the last 5 minutes and it was fucking amazing.  It was a kind of performed poem about domestic abuse (which doesn't sound particularly special but f**k me it was powerful).

Story on GMB this morning about Kate Beckinsale feeding foxes. 

2 things pleased me. Kate, obvs. And she was wearing a t shirt in the clip that said "f**k the f**k off" that they didn't blur out. Nice for 8.30 am.
