@AMG_Review Channel 4 wouldn't be able to match the budget for SNLuk that Sky are paying. 9 weeks to hire meeting rooms, production offices and a permanent set in TC1 at Television Centre for 9 weeks isn't cheap.

The amount of people suggesting SNL UK moves to Channel 4 next year… Sky are literally paying for it! Why would they give it up? It’s beaten C4 in the ratings so there’s no chance they’ll just hand it over to them? Understand how TV works

@EmiratesFACup According to the Wembley website 'The Weeknd' are playing 5 nights over the Community Shield weekend

The 2026 #CommunityShield will take place at Principality Stadium on Sunday 16 August 🏟️ Find out more below 🔗

@colwebs @Eyeswideopen69 No. It was a made up quote by the journo, I was on about. It's clear that they make up or twist quotes to help fit the publications political point of view.

@3clicksfromdoom @Eyeswideopen69 Made up quote ? So you’re calling the poor Woman whose daughter was murdered so brutally a liar ? What a nasty leftie cu*t you are 😡

Rhiannon Whyte was killed on 20th October 2024. Blaming Keir Starmer is not only ridiculous, it is also libellous.

@GregScottTV It's like they got the idea from an abandoned idea for a round. In 'Nice to see them to see them nice' anagrams of names of people who you'd never have down as a gameshow host..

It’s a bizarre selection… I’d love to have been in the meeting and heard their discussions…

@colwebs @Eyeswideopen69 If Sir Keir hasn't met her or replied - how does she know he is only 'interested in his Muslim voters'? Or is that a made up quote by the hack on the Torygraph to suit the extreme right wing narrative of the story?

@Eyeswideopen69 Read what she says ? She’s written to Starmer .. he’s not replied ; he’s not met her .. he’s NOT interested in her Only interested in his Muslim voters

@ianvisits Lovely. Traffic Management company turn up with cones and close the road off - causing an SND (Short Notice Diversion) No trace of a road closure order in TfL towers leading to this accurate message on the RTI. This no notice road closing happens more often than you'd think.

Mysterious Roadworks!

@BloodyearGimp @bbcpaddy Looks like a display cabinet in either BH or at 4 Mill bank in the BBC Westminster offices.

@bbcpaddy Where does the croc reside now?

If you know, you know

@AlexBrundle Maybe FOM could run the 'not the Bahrain/Saudi Arabia' virtual Grand Prixs like they did during COVID..! Right decision to cancel - but would like to have seen the idea of 'Sprint Race Sunday' held somewhere warm and European. Practice 10-11 Quali 13.00-13.45 Race 16.00-16.45

@lukejcr And Farage wants to see an end to banknotes and coins. The fact he has a shareholding in a Bitcoin company and Reform is partly funded by one, is of course, purely co-incidental.

Before I was an MP, I worked on the current series of polymer banknotes at the Bank of England. So I know how decisions about our currency are made, and why they matter. Nigel Farage clearly doesn’t. What he conveniently ignores is that central banks regularly issue new banknote series. It’s how they stay ahead of counterfeiters and keep our currency secure. It’s technical. It’s essential. And it’s completely routine. So why is he manufacturing outrage? Because Farage and Reform UK have spent months attacking the Bank of England itself. They’ve demanded the Bank halt quantitative tightening. 💷 They’ve pushed to stop interest being paid on central bank reserves, which would completely destroy monetary policy transmission. ⚠️ And Farage has even suggested replacing the Governor with someone aligned to his agenda. Let’s be clear: Politicians leaning on central banks is how you spook markets and undermine confidence in the economy. Bank of England independence, brought in by the last Labour government, exists for a reason. To keep markets and household finances stable. I back the Bank to keep our currency secure, not to be dragged into political point-scoring. So if Farage spent half as much time understanding how the Bank works as he does attacking it, we’d hear a lot less of this nonsense. ❌

@GregScottTV Straight away my first thought - Radio 2 presenter 6-8pm leaves. What takes up 3 months of Saturdays 6-8pm on BBC One towards the end of the year? Hmmm...

Lisa Tarbuck to leave BBC Radio 2. If she’s not been signed as the new host of House of Games, that’s an opportunity to have a great new host for it gone.

@BBCTomEdwards Would have thought the 3/4th April would have been a sitting duck for a two day strike... Or would that be missing out on Easter Bank Holiday additional pay?

NEW: Six days of tube strikes announced for 24/25 26/27 March 21/22 23/24 April 19/20 21/22 May. The issue is plan for a 4 day week. RMT says it will mean slightly longer daily shifts and has concerns over safety.

@cytrusf1 Monaco paddock used to be the preserve of idiots with no interest just wandering around. Compromise is right in front of FOMs nose. Have 4 or 5 races where influencers are allowed access to the paddock Other races- exclude those that can't tell an end plate from a dinner plate

Welcome to the new era of F1 Where influencers invited to the paddock have no idea who the drivers are and where F1 is censoring their own fanbase

@rwbnj59 @cartunfunn He is suing them later this year... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyote_vs…

@cartunfunn I wonder if ACME is still in business.

I grew up watching cartoons like this, so please don't ask me to act normal.

@wai_eleven @formula1god This. And make the battery graphic bigger. I didn't notice it was on the bottom of the halo overlay graphic until half race distance.

@formula1god I would actually love it if they added battery % each driver has left. Would really improve the experience. Imo the gaps (time) & battery % is equally important in these regs.

Am I the only one that finds the new timing tower INCREDIBLY ANNOYING I NEED to be able to see it to the thousandths of a second 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@MV33Racing But isn't George the current chair of the GPDA? That's a heck of a lot to lose - professionally and reputation - if outed. I'd be looking towards someone from the East of Portugal and wears green overalls.

🚨 There is a rat 🐀 among F1 drivers who is leaking private info to the media On Friday there was a drivers’ meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to give drivers a space to openly raise sporting and safety concerns with F1 and the FIA, with the clear understanding that everything discussed would remain private. Yet the very next day, confidential details from that meeting appeared in the media. So the question is: who is the rat?

@MichaelCGlasper Hats off to @itn for going on a political archive raid, now the BBC Parliament have given up going through the BBC's

"Are you coming to bed, or what?" "Soon. I've just got five and a half hours of ITV's coverage of the February 1974 General Election to watch first."

@sophiearumble Slightly late to this thread, but walked past a primary school which was taking part in World Book Day, on my way home last night, and a child came out with a repurposed cardboard box made out to look like the Collins English dictionary. Now, that was inspired fancy dress!

@sophiearumble A walking tour of the underground tunnels that used to bring the drinking water into the city -if you aren't claustrophobic - is highly recommended.

@LukeSmithF1 That's actually the camera gantry for the podium trophy/spraying champagne part of 'the show'.

Unexpected F1 pit lane things: giant KitKat bar 🍫

@tvukzone Cue the click bait headline 'Viewers OUTRAGED at ITV daytime shows SHOCK cancellations'

Due to the horse racing, and for the first time since the ITV Daytime production changes, we're getting our first week without #Lorraine or #LooseWomen w/c 9th March. #GMB is extended to 10am for the week, whilst #ITVNews moves forward to 12:30pm accommodate the racing.
