Really smart piece of writing by @TomNicko the possible consequences of a Labour government (also best pic of the day) inews.co.uk/opinion/labour-w…

If Labour wins and nothing changes, we risk losing Gen Z to the political fringes

I worry that the disillusionment could turn into something darker

Ewen MacIntosh took a Scotch egg and made Big Keith a comedy icon

Character actors like him - who can be so funny with so few lines - are the backbone of British comedy

Released more than 60 years ago, “Dr. No” could have been just another middling action film. Then Sean Connery strolled in. @TomNicko trib.al/glSGlmP

Sob every year at The Office Christmas specials, obvs. But I'd never clocked that Tim and Dawn's kiss marked a shift on British TV: after them, comedies started taking love seriously - and they still do, 20 years later. LOVE this piece by @TomNicko inews.co.uk/culture/love-bri…

Love was British comedy's punchline. Tim and Dawn's Office kiss changed that

Twenty years ago, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant made one of the best Christmas specials in TV history. And its will-they-won't-they romance heralded a new era for British sitcoms - in which love...

Peep Show and Little Britain turned 20 on the same day in September – now they feel like mid-noughties cynicism turned in opposite directions esquire.com/uk/culture/a4507…

20 Years Later, 'Peep Show' and 'Little Britain' Have Aged Very Differently
