In some of the few bits of good news recently, #MockTheWeek is returning to the airwaves, almost 4 years after its previous cancellation (it ran from 2005-2021), with some faces old and new:

Here's the pilot (including John Oliver and Frankie Boyle)

#MockTheWeek

The two jokes (by other people) which won't get out of my head today - so I'm inflicting them on you all.

First is #MiltonJones on #MockTheWeek aaaages ago (got no link sorry):
"I think elephants are over protected. But thats easy for me to say ... from my ivory tower"

Second is #SethMyers from #LateNight talking about one of his writers #KarenChee (https://youtu.be/ojXTt_iptB0?t=161):
"As you can see, this is a person with nothing but joy in her heart... but that joke made me so fucking mad at her"

Spotting Tory political pressure on the BBC, no.223

You'll recall, when the Beeb decided not to recommission Mock the Week, they came up with some story that it was not offended Tories who'd 'encouraged' them to bin it off, but the fact that it was a tired format losing viewers.....

so odd that they are now regularly showing repeats of old editions; almost like they were still popular, isn't it.... and their explanations were just a smoke screen for their Tory chums.

We will meet them on the beaches,
Goddamn I love these peaches!
