How is this 44 years ago? And what are the chances that Tr*mp's alias #johnbarron is the name of an actor in this dark @channel4tv.bsky.social #comedy #Iran #WhoopsApocaylpse #rikMayall #AlexeiSayle #EdBishop #PeterJones #johncleese #GeoffreyPalmer #RichardGriffiths #BarryMorse
#movieandtvchallenge A TV-Show You Can Finish In A Day: #theyoungones It's only two seasons & they both have only six episodes you can easily binge watch in a day. I know this only got two seasons because the writers couldn't come up with anymore stories, but I think they should have tried for one-two more seasons at least! It died off too quickly! They actually made a pilot for an American remake of The Young Ones called "Oh, No! Not THEM!" Apparently it was so awful that it never actually aired on TV & a copy of it was never found for years until 2025 when Nigel Planer (who played Neil in the original & the remake) released his digitized VHS copy of it on his Patreon page. Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen & the crappy remake of Nightmare on Elm Street) played the Vyvyan character in it. #britishsitcom #varietyshow #undergraduatestudents #adrianedmondson #vyvyanbasterd #punk #rikmayall #anarchist #nigelplaner #neilpye #hippie #christopherryan #mikethecoolperson #alexeisayle #jerzeibalowski #landlord #motorhead #lemmykilmister #ripphilcampbell #punkhamster #blowupdoll #decapitatedhead #multiplearms

IS THIS THE NEW FACE OF DR WHO?
On #DrWho's next excursion among the heavenly bodies he may actually turn into one . . . and become Dr Her. #JoannaLumley is materialising . . .
or . . .
Outrageous comic #AlexeiSayle is set to become the new #DrWho
Alexei Sayle: The left of the Labour Party are nice, decent people and it was a privilege to meet them. The right of the Labour Party are some of the most fucking horrible people - vile, gruesome people. I've never met such awful people as those on the right ofthe Labour Party.
#AlexeiSayle is 100% spot on with this comment. And the #right of the #Labour party are now the majority.
We must remember: #Starmer has taken the party to the #right. So, #FuckLabour & #FuckStarmer. It's time to switch allegiance to a party on the #left, the #GreenParty.

Cast of The Young ones
Born 7 Aug 1952, comedian Alexei Sayle. Famous for many things, for me he will always be remembered as the anarchic (and frightening) landlord Mr Balowski, in 'The Young Ones', appearing alongside Adrian Edmondson, Rik Mayall, Nigel Planer & Christopher Ryan. Happy birthday Alexei! #AlexeiSayle
Happy Birthday to Alexei Sayle! Born 7 August 1952. He was voted one of the 100 best stand-up comics of all time by Channel 4 #Comedy #TheYoungOnes #AlexeiSayle #Liverpool
I know it's a common name, but it still gave me a bit of a surprise to have #AlexeiSayle open his latest podcast with 5 minutes about how much he hates me.
