State-of-the-art technology wasted on Deal or no Deal mugs

PG Tips want to appear on them for 3 months

Olympic Fails

I have to begrudginginly admire Dan Roan for his perfect timing on tonight's Six. Facing the camera he speaks about the dangers of the BMX course, whilst half a dozen or so riders crash on a corner behind him bang on cue.

Yes, Prime Minister return

Discussion about the return of a classic!

No. I could be nominate myself for Private Eye's 'pseud's corner' and demonstrate how the scripts conform to Aristotle's 7 golden rules of storytelling, but suffice to say that ALL of the elements are there and always have been.
