Trailer in The Circle's colour scheme - rather nice.

BTW if anyone has a copy of the Ackley Bridge trailer with the 4 logo made from chips, I'd be grateful to see that again.

It was a spectacular start at Spa, as Alonso was launched over the Sauber of Leclerc 😮

Thanks for that! Was beginning to think I had imagined it

Impressive Figures for GBBO S2E1

How much money will this bring in for more risky programmes or outstanding docs?

That's a drop of 260,000 from S1E1.

Just like the radio rajar figures. Throw all sorts of numbers in the press release terms of viewers, share, demographics, peak viewing, downloads, streaming, time shifts, and kitchen sinks...

.. And you'll eventually find a miniscule victorious statistical straw to hold above your stations head and point at with pride..

This went out this evening:

We stand up for diversity and inclusion. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees. One of the dark sides of this is online abuse. To highlight this disturbing trend, we’ve partnered with some advertisers to show examples of real abuse against real people in their ads. It may shock you. pic.twitter.com/guXXTsP8xA

Some of those comments have left me gobsmacked. In 2018 you’d expect people’s prejudices to be eradicated. We live in a nation that is gloriously diverse and accepting of all where discrimination is not tolerated and every member of society should be allowed to be included without taking into consideration race, sexual persuasion or disabilities. There should be no indifference or abuse whether online or face to face, we instead should look to what connects us; we are all human!

Thank you Channel 4 for raising awareness of this.

Did anyone spot the Bake Off editing error tonight?

If you were watching at the right point, you see a shot of the contestants celebrating that there was no elimination (without sound) in the middle of the Showstopper judging. It stood out because Rahul was supposed to be walking back, was then sitting, and was then walking.

Liking the use of 'The Circle' themed countdown clock used on the ECP and a bumper into the show (Accelerated break)
