It'll be on the kids' channel, where it belongs. Then you can complain that it is no longer presented by the originals (who are all dead and it's the BBC's fault): https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/mediapacks/crackerjack

Seeing the BBC’s last few efforts at “reinterpreting” source material, I have zero hope this will be be in the slightest bit watchable. And that makes me unhappy as that’s one of the best Terry Pratchett books.

I mentioned elsewhere that I just cancelled my Netflix subscription. Happily, I have all the Studio Ghibli DVDs I need, including Miyazaki's best pre-Ghibli output.

Davina McCall is even more annoying than Caitlin Moran, Laura Kuensberg and Naga Munchetty put together.

He has changed his name by deed poll to Mark Francois, so that's now a subject for the political subforum.

Star Trek  Picard was a great  watch and even better if you are a trekkie and can pick up the links.

I don't think he's in the same league of teeth-gnashery.

Haven't seen him lately and I don 't think he ever went out with Stan Collymore. I reckon he'd also recognise at least some of the songs on the Masked Singer.

And TBF he'd always have something handy that you could hit him with.

Or the "Ted and Ralph" subtext of the scenes with Picard and Data.

Watching a T-Rex drive a Mercedes while bring hit in the head by golf balls is absolutely hilarious  

Oh yeah, Top Gear is back

Not seen it yet, but the reaction has been very positive (from normal people and Trekkies).

I concur

I'm a normal person who liked it  

My wife, a Trekkie,  also liked it

The Trial of Christine Keeler was an excellent drama by the BBC , brilliantly acted and a fair reflection of how sleazy the early 60`s had become in certain circles .

I watched that and him running round in the suit really made me laugh. I saw Fr4eddie still had the bowling action when trying to hit Paddy's windows.

How the hell he did that drop over the dam though I'll never know.

I’m still not convinced. I liked the Spyfall story, not so much the next one. 
 

I’ll catch up at some point this week

I’m not a Dr Who fan but my Mrs is and thinks Jodie Whittaker is a great Dr. But she told me she turned Sunday’s episode over as it was rubbish? I was at work so didn’t see it anyway but it really surprised me as she’s been very enthusiastic about the new series so far. 

i thought it was a good episode it was a set up episode for the future introducing # new ###### and as i said before captain jack.
