- Absolutely adore how furious Pickford is every single time he’s forced to make a save
- Peter Jones was commentating at Hillsborough and many felt he never fully recovered from what he saw, dying less than a year later. His final report from that day is an astonishing piece of broadcasting
00:00 - The great Mel Brooks is 94 today. He worked on The Elephant Man, hired David Lynch and insisted his own name be kept off the credits so people didn’t assume it was a comedy. He also didn’t take any shit.

- Stewart Lee has had his say on Gervais and there’s nothing left to add
- These were taken at today’s anti-lockdown demo in London. Any time you get a large group of idiots together, you’re guaranteed to see this stuff. That train is never late.
