@IrkthePurists The production process is front and centre of almost all writing about the show, so I guess it's that. Not something you would IP exactly but if a variety show came along with that approach then I guess it would be viewed as the same.

@GreavesIan I was wondering what aspects of the SNL format are actually unique/copyrightable. Or whether it’s just the name.

A couple of things I don’t understand about the UK Saturday Night Live: Why are they bothering with the SNL name/‘format’ when 1. Most British people have never seen it and don’t give a toss about its legacy? 2. They already piloted a Friday Night Live revival in 2022

Tottenham should never have sold him

The BBC WAC Campaign's full submission to the Charter Review is now online. We argue policy changes at the Written Archives Centre fly in the face of the values at the heart of the Green Paper: trust, transparency, and the telling of stories. Read here: tinyurl.com/CharterSubmiss…

We lost Kenith Trodd on Sunday. A brilliant producer and forward-thinking man who believed deeply in television and the British screen. He was ahead of his time in many ways. "A film is a film is a film." My tribute for the BFI website is now online: bfi.org.uk/news/kenith-tr…

@leytonorientfc Hi. Been trying to list my ticket for 14/3 on the Exchange for the past day but at the final point I get this over and over again. Is this being worked on?

Best pre-match atmosphere inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a long, long time.

Some great, clear and accessible guidance is now available on how you can respond to the Government's open consultation on the BBC Charter Review. If the BBC matters to you then please get involved. The closing date is 10 March. britishbroadcastingchallenge.com

This is a manager hired by Daniel Levy to take an underpaid, underfunded, untested squad and try to do more with less. A manager known for scraping together mediocre success through negative football at a club with absolutely no pressure with players who aren’t at the top level. Since his arrival, he has looked completely out of his depth. Every word that comes out of his mouth seems to downplay the club. He appears to believe the task at Tottenham is the same as at Brentford, and that the cultural transformation required here is something he’s already done before. He’s coated off the fans on numerous occasions and somehow sees positives in what has been a truly horrendous period for us. He doesn’t get what it takes at this level, he has not understood the club at all, he has no idea who we are, what we expect or why we are angry, he simply hasn’t got a clue. On the pitch, this squad looks worse and worse, losing at home to relegation fodder, no desire, no belief, no basics, no structure, no tactics, no anything. It was an unbelievably short-sighted appointment. Sacking a manager with the squad on his side for someone the polar opposite stylistically was an extraordinary decision. After 20-plus years of poor decisions, Daniel Levy’s legacy is there for all to see. It’s time the new CEO started selling his vision and project not just to the fans, but to a manager capable of delivering success at this football club. If he’s sacked in the morning it will feel far too late, get out Frank.
