And with that, I hope to release the short film and all the behind the scenes vids I've been working on soon. Been working on it since May and it's essentially my way of learning Blender properly. Keep an eye out over here if that's your sort of thing -

Food we consume is mixed with acids in the stomach, causing the carbohydrates to break down in to glucose, which is absorbed by the small intestines and released to our blood to be used as energy. And some people use that energy to tell you that they don't watch Game of Thrones.

This tweet's gone too mad for me to keep up! But yeah, Channel 5s coverage would have been provided by ITN who are already doing ITV & Channel 4, so they're in a prime position to provide alternative viewing. And why Emoji Movie? Using up a cheap license in a prime spot I guess.

I was wondering if the BBC still had a big comedy department. BBC Three used to be filled with scripted comedy. Half mainstream, half alternative, but usually all were risks taken with new/young writers and performers. They could still do that but don’t for some reason.

Scripted TV comedy is "at risk" for the sixth year running, @Ofcom has concluded in its annual report into the BBC. Just 108 hours of new UK comedy aired in 2022-3, down from 225 in 2010-1. Full story:

Calling to scrap CBBC is madness. That channel is an absolute pro to the BBC argument. I love how it's subliminally educational, not full of toy-pushing franchises and entirely tolerable to adult viewers for the most part - holds a candle to our own era compared to other channels
