In series 1 of Bullseye, on the prize board, Jim would announce a funny ‘bad’ prize if it went in the wrong segment - “You’ve won DIY brain surgery” or “A trip to resurface the M6”. But nothing can prepare you for this gem #itwasadifferenttime

Fucking hell fire. Turn on this 24/7 corrie thing for the first time and it’s the 1979 episode where Gail turns 21, gets engaged, Elsie finds out and Audrey appears for the first time.
This could be the end of other channels for me.

We are sad to hear that actor Michael Forest, who starred in the Star Trek original series episode "Who Mourns For Adonais?" as Apollo, has died at the age of 97. Our deepest condolences to his family and friends.

When #Scrubs cleverly used a reoccurring character (Dr Briggs played by Elizabeth Banks) in their intro to change an error in their intro 5 seasons in. ❤️❤️

For those of you who haven’t been to HMV Oxford Street for years and think it’s just Funko Pops of Ed Sheeran and Pokémon jelly moulds, this is what their amazing DVD/Blu-ray floor looks like.
Use it or lose it.

This is why it has to be at the start of every Bond film. Placing it before the opening titles worked in CASINO ROYALE but it was stupid to place it at the end of the next two films.
