Found myself at (another) show filming last night, this time "Would I Lie To You"

Things I learned: Jon Richardson gets into a dry bath with his clothes on when he feels stressed. He also used to stalk a children's entertainer called 'Dozy David' as a boy by leaving messages on his answerphone, hoping he'd teach him his tricks and that they would become friends; Bob Mortimer burned down the family house as a kid by letting off fireworks in the front room; and David Harewood can balance a tenner vertically on his nose/forehead. It also looks as though Lee Mack is getting very bored with the show and it takes far too long (3 hours) to film enough (very average) comedy material for a 30 minute broadcast. Again, apologies for any spoilers...

Just intrigued by the idea of you 'finding yourself'

at a television filming. Do you have these existential crises often, and why don't you go off to some wilderness to find yourself like most people?

Twitter responses to the news about Angelina's mastectomy

Typical post: "Poor Brad Pitt, did you ever think you'd end up with a wife with no titties and a house full of black kids?"

Oof!

"Jennifer Aniston. Still has her boobs. Doesn't have 42 kids running around. Good choice, Brad Pitt."

Just when you thought TV couldn't get any worse...

They're making Made In Brixton.

Cunts. All of them.

No shock there then

He sounds like an eight year old kid running round the playground, shouting to everyone about all the nice toys his mummy & daddy buy him & how they let him stay up REALLY late to do exciting things.

The irony being most of them will be made in the home counties...

... except a streetwise black guy who has visions of being the next Jay-Z and a gobby black female singer.
