I've called Samaritans a handful of times in the past, and I've only spoken to somebody twice. Hearing that everlasting dialling tone makes it so easy for somebody who needs to talk to just put the phone down. I hope I can say this without downplaying the great things the charity do, but I really do hope Sams are getting more support as a result of this rather than people just blindly retweeting the phone number.
I wonder if any of the media organisations signposting the Samaritans over the last few days are contributing to the charity's costs? Raising awareness is a good thing for the charity, but it will surely increase call volumes and financial contributions would seem appropriate.

Hopefully by raising awareness for the organisation it will increase donations as well as calls from the general public

I very touching tribute on Love Island tonight I thought.
Of course, we have many celebrity deaths every year, but for some reason, this is one that has really resonated with my emotions. I've been watching some clips of TMi on YouTube this evening as a bit of a throwback and she was just such a natural presenter who was so easy to warm to.

The team did great especially in the circumstances and pretty much everyone has said.
Tribute aside, production wise Iain's v/o was bare minimum stuff, telling us what we needed to know and nothing more. Tomorrow night will show the result of a public vote that opened at the end of tonight's episode. Presuming that is filmed tonight, that's a lot of footage skipped cramming maybe four or five days into two episodes which is probably the right call.
Tonight pretty much centered around the fluffy stuff rather than some of the bigger conflicts that can happen (even the ones featured had their edges softened IMO). Imagine it will continue in this style for the next week, which given its the last week anyway won't be a huge departure. Be interesting how they approach the final which is usually live from the villa, given that the contestants currently are unaware of the situation.
