ITV Central had this as well. Just a ITV1 logo loop. Seemed to come back around the spot it left at (mid-story).

No on-air acknowledgement. I suspect it isn’t broadcast live tonight.

Sydney used to have Mercedes-Benz buses.

Riding the bus was referred to as “taking the chauffeur-driven Mercedes”.

Is it just the wheels being covered over that makes it look “tram-like”?

Sprint and the return of the bendy-bus It's quite incredible that I first wrote about Sprint on this website just over seven years ago! And yet we still seem to be no nearer to this vision actually becoming reality. In recent weeks, the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) have agreed to purchase 24 electric articulated 'tram-style' buses, and the associated charging infrastructure, at a cost of £26m.

For some reason, Transport for West Midlands still think that what the Walsall-Solihull Sprint route needs are "tram-like buses". While they do look quite smart, ultimately they are just the latest iteration of what used to be called 'bendibuses'.

His episodes of Celebrity Race Across the World (S2) are still on iPlayer, so can’t be THAT bad.

Just bought a ticket to see Trevor Horn in December. He’s the guy from The Buggles (amongst many other songs he’s written or produced)

I think the following quote applies here:

#SNLUK is surprisingly pretty good.

Maybe it’s the allowing of swearing (unlike the rather sterile US version) that tips it over the line for me.

Having audience members who have a connection to what is being discussed by the guests makes it appear as though the “chat” is heavily scripted rather than a genuine chat.

I get that GN is also a pre-prepared chat (I just skip to the red chair these days), but this is next level awkward.
