In Modern Times: For Richer, For Poorer, a documentary series about life in contemporary Britain that looks at four couples risking it all to start the business of their dreams, I was surprised to hear the narrator describe Burford as "a pretty town buried in the Cotswolds hills".
Why he didn't correctly refer to them as the "Cotswold hills" or simply "the Cotswolds" I have no idea.

The poor bastards that fall for this and agree to appear on it probably haven't realised that it will screw up any benefits claims they currently have as it will count as 'not being available for work' if they're on JSA etc and they'll get sanctioned, they'll be getting paid an appearance fee which will count as a wage and will mean their housing benefit will be suspended while they re-assess, then once they're dumped off the show back into real life they'll have to walk the benefits assessment tightrope again with no money for 6 weeks while they put in a new claim, and even if they 'win' then all they're winning is enough money to live off for a few months, and enough to stop any housing benefit they're getting, and when it runs out they'll have to claim all over again.

Has anyone ever heard anything vaguely critical of the monarchy on the BBC? Today's sycophancy of William Windsor at the Cup final was nauseating. I appreciate that a majority of the population are supportive of having a royal family, but Auntie never seem to have any dissenting voices.
Haven't they delegated that to Channel 4?
Have they? C4 just has the alternative Christmas message, doesn't it?
It's not unique to the Beeb of course, as even the Graun and Indie will only have the occasional op-ed by a guest writer suggesting hereditary monarchies are a bit of a daft system in the developed world.

I noticed Gerry Springer didn't stay around for a chat with Mosley about the Holocaust. Which Max's misunderstood dad thought was a bad show. Max Mosley's persistence in turning over Murdoch is an admirable point in his favour.

Mosley's mum wasn't that willing to chat about the Holocaust either when Sue Lawley had her on Desert Island Discs.

BBC4 had a programme last night about the destruction of artifacts by Daesh. Quite interesting but started saying how great it would of been if European imperialists/powers had taken more of them back with them in the 19th,20th and according to one guy even 21st centuries. No reflection on how those had contributed to the situation that lead to the wave of destruction.

Main message seemed to be that Dan Cruikshank is a complete and utter fucking jinx. Let him anywhere near your ancient artefacts and beardie nutters with sledgehammers and dynamite certainly won't be far behind.
