Good to see Mrs Brown’s Boys on the schedule.

Well, for me, yes. I love that show.

Yes I know it’s fashionable to pour shit on the show, but I love it. Plus you’re talking to someone who loved Mystery Diners and Shopping For Love.

Quite a day for Romesh Ranganathan, got a show on BBC 1 as host of the Weakest Link and then on ITV later in the night.

Good that it’s in the graveyard slot given how far downhill it’s gone…

Although if it were replays of Season 1-3, I’d be watching front and centre because those were feckin’ hilarious.

I’m A Celebrity in the UK featured a challenge in a jungle library.

While searching the books - several could be seen to have Logan City Council Library on them. Then a bit later we saw Lisa Wilkinson’s autobiography while the rest of the books had less obvious titles.

ITV and BBC reveal blockbuster match split for FIFA World Cup 2026

Produced by ITV Sport Production, ITV will broadcast live from New York City for the duration of the tournament, and will have three of the top picks for the Quarter-Final stages of the tournament including the first two picks, plus five of the top nine picks of the round of 32.

On the BBC, audiences can look forward to three of England’s knockout clashes, if they progress - in the round of 32, round of 16, and a semi-final, plus England’s group-stage match with Ghana.

Three of the top four picks in the round of 16 will be chosen by the BBC as well as three of the top five in the round of 32.

The final will be shown live on both ITV and BBC.

And we can continue to look forward to the ITV sidestepping during schedule announcements on BBC.

It’s always “BBC1/BBC2 or 5 Live”.

UK TV - Christmas Day

Horrendously wrong.

Number one, all NBA matchups are live.

And most importantly, number two, SS Main Event will break away at 12.30am for SNF coverage (which is simulcast from SS NFL, which is also not shown in that channel’s column). Only SS+ carries Lakers/Rockets.

Someone didn’t do their due diligence.

You’re misreading it. They’re saying the block (5-12:30) is live, until it’s broken up by Sky Sports News. Then it’s ‘live’ again afterwards. It just doesn’t have it next to each fixture.
