I no longer live in the UK, but I care about what is going on there.

I am deeply worried that GB News is beginning to do to the UK what Fox has done to the USA.

This evening at 7:30 on BBC Two: Mastermind.

One of the specialist subjects is Depeche Mode. I will be very disappointed if there is not a question "how many syllables in the band's name".

The first episode did not promise spectacle. It simply asked viewers to pay attention to a single street and the people who lived on it. That invitation has lasted for more than six decades.

Alan Partridge is back at rock bottom – and it’s the funniest he’s been in years
After stadium tour success, the delusional broadcaster is back where he belongs: self-funding a series about the nation’s mental health. As comedy goes, it couldn’t be more pleasurable

Love Island UK 2026 winners announced after dramatic finale
The 13th series of Love Island UK concluded with Julia Majchrzak and Lorenzo Alessi emerging as winners, defeating runners-up Jasmine Muller and Kavan Murphy, as well as third-place finishers Angelista Gunda and Simba Kudyiwa. The duo received a £50,000 prize, with Julia expressing surprise at their victory and revealing plans for Lorenzo to move in with her post-villa. Lorenzo described their relationship as 'seriously unserious,' while Jasmine admitted being drawn to Kavan's 'aura,' despite his brother Aidan Murphy being a contestant. The final featured three couples due to earlier twists, including the elimination of Mica Harris and Samraj Toor after voting. The series, known for its dramatic twists, also saw conflicts such as Priya Jaswal's controversial comments about dumped contestant Elicia Bailey, which led to a public apology. The show's blend of romance, drama, and unexpected plot developments has kept viewers engaged throughout the season.

When I heard Channel 4 (UK)was airing a special called "Dumpf vs The Truth" (www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/c...)
I fell out laughing. "The special will likely be the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods, and distortions ever broadcast on television." Gotta love the UK. #politics
A very large screenprint of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein with Trump's hand on Epstein's shoulder is spread out across the lawn of Windsor Castle, where everyone can see it before Donald Trump's visit.
