“Dancing the salsa from the movie Mufasa” is a very satisfying sequence of words to hear. #Strictly

Agree, already posted about this. I haven’t seen anyone on here saying this sort of thing but there used to be a lot of heroic praise on Twitter for crim-on-crim killings.

Popped to the window for a smoke and had my back to the screen the whole time.

Ok I agree with the bit about “good” and “evil” inmates - we don’t know what the murderer was in for. Rest is bollocks though. HMPS should do a quick investigation just so the paperwork is sorted, then everyone can move on.

My favourite thing about Movie Week is when they introduce classic songs from decades ago as being “from” films that came out a couple of years ago. #Strictly

Imagine if someone was living under a rock when he was convicted. They could read this headline and think an ordinary singer was the victim of an unprovoked attack while visiting someone.

They’re an hour later than everyone else with this. They could have read the room and said “hey, let’s call him a convicted paedo straight off the bat”. But no, they’ve gone with “singer” too.

“Disgraced” is a low-level TV presenter going into temporary telly exile after being filmed having a shit behind some bins in an alley, not this.

Hadn’t read the BBC article til you linked. As it was loading I was wondering how early on they’d call him “disgraced singer” or similar.

And there it is, in the picture caption, even before the byline.
