Called it - Romesh filmed "What has the BBC ever done for me?" straight after filming #CelebrityTraitors on May 23.
It's a remake of this classic 1985 @JohnCleese advert
David Jason appeared in both. Attenborough appeared in picture in the original but only in voice in this time

It’s not like 3.5 million applied for the ballot that closed on 4th September to get tickets for this series, that told you the date for the Strictly final…. 😒🙄

The incredibly right Joe Lycett is still the only good guest to go on Laura Kuenssberg's show.
He nearly got her fired, and she hates being reminded of it, so don't RT.

This 25 second map shows how fast the Germans were retreating after the Falaise Gap was closed.
It gives you an idea why the Allies thought that Operation Market Garden might just be worth the risk.
In doing so, First Canadian Army was robbed of the resources it needed to clear out the Channel ports of Boulogne-sur-Mer and Calais, and delayed the clearing of the Scheldt Estuary.
If you were in charge of Twenty First Army Group, which operation would you have prioritized? Clearing the channel ports and the Scheldt?
Or was it worth the gamble to get bridge crossings on two rivers?

Bloke spends his life eating raw meat and looking directly into the sun for health benefits and he was nearly just written off by Fred Flintstone’s car while warming up.

Film production has fallen under Karen Bass.
She failed.
Hollywood was born here—and it belongs here. From creating California’s film and television tax credit as Speaker of the Assembly to cutting red tape and filming costs as Mayor, I’ve fought to keep production in Los Angeles.
This is about more than entertainment—it’s about good-paying union jobs and the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Angelenos.
We’ve taken action to support Hollywood’s future in Los Angeles, and we’ll keep fighting for it.

We are deeply saddened to learn that Ken Hay passed away today, Sunday 20th September, aged 101.
Ken was a Normandy Veteran and a long-standing Memorial Ambassador who gave everything to support the Trust's work in sharing the message of Remembrance with the next generation. He attended the 82nd commemorations this June and participated in the ceremony, as he did in previous years.
His passion for education was unwavering. The countless schoolchildren whose lives he touched with his stories of courage and resilience nicknamed him 'Grandad Ken'.
We extend our most sincere condolences to Ken's sons Chris and Jeremy, all the Hay family and his very many friends.
Ken Hay MBE Leg d'Hon. An extraordinary gentleman whose remarkable life will never be forgotten. ❤️
Rest in Peace our dearest friend.
