I blocked the twat on Twitter back in the day & pre-emptively blocked him on here. He's just a lazy karma farmer followed & re-posted by people with no original thoughts in their head.

This is part 3 - the 2 other parts cover the 60's & 80's rounds in depth - but '91 was the biggy & it gets the coverage it deserves. Well worth watching all 3.

It's finally here, the 1991 instalment of the ITV Franchise story - It's a long one, but, as someone who lived through & studied this in GCSE Media Studies - as it was happening! It's an absolute belter of a ride.

This morning I turned on my phone only to find that it had changed my user name to Shirley, and when I tried to enter a simple Google query it came out as "Do you like gladiator movies?"

Then I realised it was in Airplane! mode.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

That one of the Geography teachers, Miss P, had appeared in a pornographic magazine doing 'things' with a banana. As a result she was known as Bananawoman & anyone who she heard calling her that got detention....

The Fence @thefence.bsky.social · 3d

Fence #26 will be a special on all things print, and in tribute to the storied history of the UK gutter press, our letters page wants your GOSSIP & SCANDAL.

So, we're asking you all: what was the most scandalous (true or false) bit of gossip that dominated your school or neighbourhood growing up?

It made me chuckle - considering in the first episode he was just credited as 'TV Director'

'Richard Ashcroft is as much the Scott Walker of Britpop as David Baddiel is the Spike Milligan of comedy is the new rock ‘n’ roll. You’d think someone who is a million different people from one day to the next would have more than a couple of ideas'

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.
