“The line I liked best in it was, ‘What do you see when you turn out the light?’ I was imagining turning out the light when you’re in bed, under the covers. You’re talking about your genitals; that’s what it is. Everyone does that: touching themselves when the light goes out. But I couldn’t say, ‘What do you see when you turn out the light? Your dick.’ It just doesn’t scan.” Excerpt From The Lyrics Paul McCartney This material may be protected by copyright.
The BBC is investigating how a hoax message was left on the Points of View answering machine, outraging dozens of callers to the show. The programme, hosted by Anne Robinson, allows BBC viewers and licence-fee payers to have their say on the BBC. But callers were told: "This is the BBC, and quite frankly we are sick to death of your points of view". The message was erased later in the day and replaced by noises of a cow mooing. The BBC has apologised to viewers who called the Points of View programme's answering machine only to be told to "keep your views to yourself". "Our view is you should keep your thoughts to yourself instead of pestering us and keeping busybody Anne Robinson in a job at the licence-payers' expense," the message said. The BBC is looking into the possibility that a hacker may have been able to access the system to alter the message.

“The somewhat non-charismatic in-house junior newsreader, Adrian Brown, was initially touted as the next big thing. “It’s wonderful, and a great challenge for me,” he smiled, on learning that he had inherited Owen’s role. “I’m looking forward to it enormously. Nick is an excellent bloke and both he and Anne have been very helpful and kind while I have been finding my feet.” But the chemistry wasn’t there; nor was there much trace of a screen presence. Brown lasted only eight weeks before being humiliatingly demoted back to the news desk.” — Morning Glory: A History of British Breakfast Television by Ian Jones https://read.amazon.co.uk/kp/kshare?asin=B009Q5O6J6&id=hobfwbxim5dendfw5d4dxruf6e

@catbat06 • 2 yr ago The day the earth stood still. I still remember where I was when my wife called me to tell me the news, lan Lygo has been forced to retire from 100%. Thankfully the place I worked was understanding and gave us all the rest of the week off to be with our families. I doubt everyone had that opportunity, the idea people had to carry on as if nothing had happened, pulling pints or grooming horses or whatever is just frankly insane. Honestly in some ways I think we as a nation never fully recovered.
Last part of the Radio Times preview for Would I Lie to You Christmas special that reads “But they’re outshone by old hands David Mitchell and Lee Mack, whose increasingly irate debate about what would constitute the ‘highlights’ of an Inspector Morse tour of Oxford is itself something of a highlight.”
