What TV show did you last watch?

The Daily Show w/Jon Stewart
John Oliver pre-empted the return of his show with a special turn here welcoming the Americans' return to "British" (i.e. empire) ways. Guest David Remnick tried to make 100 years of the New Yorker sound interesting or desirable, but these days it's hard to agree.

Invincible Ep 2 “A Deal With the Devil” Season 3

Having presented the similar Gold series, she gets to share her own views here, often about Smack the Pony. At least they brung up her Taskmaster run.

LoC, wLH - Romesh Ranganathan
They don't mention his TM run, unsurprisingly. They both loved Desmond's.

Late Night w/Seth Meyers
Bill Murray and Jon Hamm are good guests, but almost secondary to hype for SNL's imminent 50th anniversary special.

Wogan - 1st ever show, repeated as part of Eastenders celebrations (Wendy Richard being a guest). More interesting to see (an early?) Rory Bremner, Tina Turner singing and briefly chatting, Elton John ditto, and Terry slipping over when joining Elton after his song, much repeated.

LOC, wLH - Alexei Sayle
Last one in a short run - old mates apparently, though Alexei seemed to find the whole premise a bit thin. Len hit back by discussing Carry on Columbus.

Sweets and Snacks We Loved and Lost
1/2 The 1970s
From the "do you remember Spangles?" school of cheap docs, with a right bunch of c-list celebs recalling crisps, chocs, ads, old sweetshops, etc

Binged watched celebrity bear hunt all weekend

Decommissioning Fukushima 2024
Soon after the 2011 catastrophe, Japan made up a 40 year target for resolving the issues involved. 13 years on, just how badly is it going? Quite badly. One unforeseen problem is that rainwater gets into the site, then becomes radioactive and also needs cleaning up... seemingly getting in faster than they can deal with it.

6 - Liverpool
An inevitable visit, for salt & pepper chicken, pig's head chicharron, and then Shankly-endorsed beef pie to finish. But he doesn't rate mint humbugs (he seemed to rush them, like rock, which misses the point).

AREF
7 - Tottenham Hotspur
Adam's own club, and he enjoyed lamb ravioli, medovik honey cake, with moi moi and kuli kuli chicken to round it off.
