Your Day 16 TV TEASER.

All the shows I've watched right through more than once in the 2020s are getting two teasers.

There are four of them, and here's the first.

This is a clue to one of tomorrow's lucky six songs!
An image of a window in a block of flats. The caption is Jeremy Usbourne's voiceover and reads 'Yes [redacted], I'm Jeremy, and you're actually very much too poppy...'. The context is immediately after Ben (the shit) has offered Jez a position as a sort of A&R man for his "music portal" website.

Hello, it's time for Day 14's TV TEASER.

Once again, I'd think very literally here, and consider which year we're in and what the biggest hits of said year were.

I've never really been trying to trick you with these...:)

#TheTwen2ie5 is back later with the Day 12 TV Teaser.

As it happens, the song being teased will mark the exact halfway point of the parade, i.e. tomorrow's last qualifier.

And you know what that means...
Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg, doubtless having an erotic year. Bryan Adams with a six-string guitar. Ariana Grande doing 'math' Self Esteem, unable to concentrate

It's a very strong clue.
But in order to get it, you have to know what the unfortunate event is...

TV TEASER TIME

This still from a 21st century TV episode is also a clue to one of tomorrow's lucky five songs.

As we did The Sopranos yesterday, let's move on to a show that started less than six weeks after that cut to black.

What 2020s song is this...?
A vertical diptych of photographs showing Jon Hamm as Don Draper in stills from Mad Men S4 E8 'The Summer Man' (tx 12 Sep 2010). He wears a checked suit and is in a hotel room. In the first (top) he looks pensive and a lamp is visible. In the second his eyes are closed and he drinks from an old fashioned glass. Captions: Top: "We're flawed because we want so much more." Bottom: "We're ruined because we get these things ad wish for what we had." (The captions are voiceovers from his journal)
