It has been quite the election, so here are my WTF TV election moments from 2024 ✨ 1. When Rishi Sunak announced the election, only for it to be overshadowed by the pouring rain and D:Ream’s “Things Can Only Get Better” blaring from a nearby loudspeaker

“Netflix to reveal for first time how many people watch its shows in the UK”!!! theguardian.com/media/2022/oct… Netflix is to join the audience measurement system BARB, which means that we can finally see how popular their shows are compared to shows on traditional TV channels.

They made a promise back in 2019 - and they’re following through with it.

BBC One have suspended all regular programming until 6pm. (Technically until at least 6.30pm, as of course there is the news at six.)

Incredible scenes:

@SkyNews has a running total on screen of how many government resignations there have been. "Govt Resignations: 28 MPs" on top right hand corn As I type this, the total on @SkyNews has gone up to 29.

It is on the top right hand side of the screen. Boris on Sky News, with 'Govt Resignations: 29' on top right

Surreal scenes as BBC News at Six hasn't started yet because of Wimbledon ... as both Rishi Sunk and Sajid Javid both resign. BBC One has suddenly cut away from Wimbledon with the tennis moving to BBC Two.

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND WATCH THIS MOMENT FROM THE ONE SHOW *A One Show item introducing a new Nixon film*

Dan Stevens: “What you’ve got is a criminal for a leader who is wrapped in a messy war, embroiled in a stupid scandal and surrounded by ambitious idiots and really should resign … I’m sorry that’s the intro to Boris Johnson.”

Sun reporting that Neighbours has been axed, after talks with Channel 5 and Fremantle have fallen through thesun.co.uk/tv/17558378/ne… As fans of the show know, Neighbours is more popular in the UK than in Australia. I’m reaching out to Channel 5 and Fremantle Australia for more.

Worth pointing out in light of #JimmyCarr: Netflix are still not under Ofcom’s jurisdiction, so you can’t complain to them about their content.

You can complain to Netflix directly, or you have to contact the Dutch Media Authority ‘Commissariaat voor de Media.’ Last summer there were some government plans to regulate Netflix, Amazon and Disney+. My understanding is that not much has moved on since then.

BBC is updating its visual identity tomorrow at 6am.

- BBC One, Two and Four will have a new look.
- BBC iPlayer and Sounds will also change, with improved navigation coming over the next few months. There’s also an adjusted BBC logo, with new icons to represent different parts of the BBC (News, Weather, iPlayer, Sounds etc)
