Call for permanent subtitles on children's TV to improve reading

Masked Singer spin-off to air in Spring

Cannot wait for the series. As another post mentioned, it's a shame we won't be able to discuss it, but it'll be a nice spin-off to the main series.

BBC Scotland cut to obit?

I think so - ISTR the TX output chains are fed from the main router, so you can route anything you like to them. It's how, for example, the BBC One Scotland playout suite is taken in and out of circuit....

The Aussie version for anyone who wants to take a look: Pretty faithful adaptation other than trying to give The Cube itself some kind of personality.

On This Day in History

2001 A bomb explodes outside BBC Television Centre in west London. The bomb was planted in a red taxi which was parked outside the new front entrance to Television Centre in Wood Lane. A coded telephone warning was received and staff were evacuated from sections of the building before midnight. The bomb went off at 12.30am. Broadcasting continued throughout the incident - albeit live news broadcasts were disrupted for a short time. The dissident Irish republican group, the Real IRA, was believed to have been responsible for the bombing.
1968 With TWW having ceased broadcasting the previous day, viewers in Wales and the west of England began receiving a temporary ITV service.
1968 The final edition of Zoo Time airs on ITV.
1979 The final episode of Two's Company airs on ITV.
1981 The first episode of The Life and Times of David Lloyd George airs on BBC Two.
1990 The final episode of The Two of Us airs on ITV.
