It was lovely to see my delightful home town of Wakefield on the old goggle box last night. At least I can say hi to the coppers now.

Just got round to watching this. Nice to see the madness of a Wakey night captured on film.

A while back I linked a short programme by Tom Wriggleworth on radio 4 regarding his experience with Virgin rail, I seem to remember a few people liked it. Anyway, it obviously went down well as he's got a series now, it's much the same sort of content but dealing with different organisations each show. it's on the second episode (sorry, forgot to link it last week) which is about power suppliers. Worth a listen in you have 30 minutes spare.

Rastamouse provokes complaints of racism and teaching bad language

'' posted:

The thing I'm most worried about is her saying the words like 'Rasta' and going up to a child and saying (these) things ... my child is white and I feel if she was to say this to another child who was not white that it would be seen as her insulting the other child.

The Rastafarian mouse, who leads a band called the Easy Crew and speaks in Jamaican Patois, uses phrases such as "me wan go" ("I want to go"), "irie" ("happy"), "wagwan" ("what's going on?"). His mission is to "make a bad ting good".

Hammond defends 'naughty' Top Gear

Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond has defended the show, but admitted its stars could be "naughty" and "outspoken".

Hammond, 41, and co-presenters Jeremy Clarkson and James May were forced to apologise after a string of insulting remarks about Mexico in a recent show.

Speaking about the show overall, Hammond said: "One of the reasons Top Gear works is because we are three fairly ordinary blokes. You can identify with one or the other of us, be it age, height, presentation or manner... and one of the traits we bring together as a team is a certain outspoken quality."

He added: "And we're occasionally naughty. Who isn't?"

The TV presenter would not respond to remarks made by former BBC chairman Michael Grade, who called the incident "disgraceful" and "horrible".

I'm setting myself up to be publicly humiliated here but I've never really got what's so great about Adam & Joe, with the caveat that I have only heard like 1� of their shows in total. I love Collings and Herrin, and they keep going on and on about hwo great Adam & joe are. And so does everyone else. I just thought it was a couple of midly amusing hours of two grown men acting like they're children. I don't mean that as necessarily a bad thing but the affected naivete with which they address each other and set up jokes didn't do anything for me.

"As a background to the ongoing crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant I am putting up a film I made a while ago called A is for Atom. It was part of a series about politics and science called Pandora's Box.

The film shows that from very early on - as early as 1964 - US government officials knew that there were serious potential dangers with the design of the type of reactor that was used to build the Fukushima Daiichi plant. But that their warnings were repeatedly ignored.

The film tells the story of the rise of nuclear power in America, Britain and the Soviet Union. It shows how the way the technologies were developed was shaped by the political and business forces of the time. And how that led directly to inherent dangers in the design of the containment of many of the early plants.

Those early plants in America were the Boiling Water Reactors. And that is the very model that was used to build the reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. Three of them were supplied directly by General Electric. "

Adam and Joe were good again. My girlfriend hadn't heard them before and asked 'why everyone bums them so much', but I wasn't even really aware they were the equivalent of Moyles on Radio 6 or anything.

The Danish one - why does the American one even exist?

A&J will never be Moyles-like in any way, outsider figures forever - this run is only 12 weeks long. The first podcast was piss funny - WHY BE DENNY DIFFERENT?! WHY?! the Brian Cox piss-take bit had me in stitches.
