This is a link post Yoga Practice I made this!
During the pandemic the Government basically said 'fuck you' to a large section of people who couldn't claim through the UK support scheme. My wife is a yoga teacher. She teaches in gyms and a few private classes. When covid hit we scrambled to get her online as the rest of the world did the same thing. She is not technically minded.

This is a normal post as a bit of constructive feedback
seeing as you're doing lots of cuts anyway, you should memorise the short lines and do them down the barrel of the camera, rather than reading off to the side. It'll be a lot more effective, viewers like to feel they're being addressed, and you'll find once you get used to it it'll get easier for both delivery and memorisation

Thank you for the feedback, I'm not actually reading any lines, I'm talking to someone in the kitchen. There is no lines to be had at the moment. I do genuinely mean thank you for the feedback though, you're right about the cuts, I should use them to my advantage, and maybe a spot of scripting would do the trick. Thank you for watching it. Cheers.

This is a link post NEXT Festival live streams all week
This time of year, I'd normally be in Bratislava for NEXT, a festival of experimental music and audio-visual art.

For this year's festival they're live-streaming most of the performances for free each evening. Here's the full programme -- note that Slovakia is GMT+1, so tune in an hour earlier than the stated times if you're in the UK. The festival started yesterday (I don't know if they'll be making recordings of past performances available) and runs until Sunday.

I've been to the festival the last three years and whilst small, they always have an interesting line-up of local and international artists from a broad range of genres.

but I enjoy attending festivals like this (Lunchmeat in Prague is another one I've been going to and I've been trying to get back to Unsound in Krakow) as I don't 100% know what I'm going to get but keep an open mind, ears and eyes and always come away having experienced numerous memorable performances and discovered new artists.

The acts on at the weekend look particularly interesting...have a look through the artist biogs and see if anything tickles your fancy.

This is a normal post I’ve been trying to work out just who Britbox think their target audience is.
UK Gold viewers maybe. It’s just that Spitting Image started to feel out of date in the early nineties. I’m fairly sure ITV already did an unsuccessful reboot. The source material may be contemporary, but the old template creaks, a lot. It seems an odd flagship for a new platform, but as I understand it their essential offering is archive BBC and ITV stuff, so maybe it’s apposite. Do they have any other new stuff?

This is a normal post My sister subscribes, she mainly uses it to watch vintage Doctor Who as far as I can tell.
A few years ago I binged all the Spitting Image shows, at the time they were all free on YT.

My assessment: in retrospect they were always 90% shite with the odd funny sketch, or the odd recurring joke that actually worked. Towards the end the shite was 90% in-jokes and self referencing (infinite callbacks to 'and the vegetables'). They deliberately made the theme music increasingly unbearable with distortion and obnoxious music concrete techniques, as if they were daring viewers to switch off and daring executives to cancel them.

I think FeralCatMan is right. Hislop, Grant & Naylor were funny to me at the time, and they still have their funny moments, but satirical jokes and cultural references are prone to ageing badly, the majority are forgotten. E.g. how many TWTWTW sketches do you know?

Which is a pretty impressive feat for that knackered old sketch since it was first broadcast long before my birth and I’m unaware of TW3 ever being repeated in toto in my lifetime.

That somewhat explains why it's similar to Red Dwarf, in that it seemed exceptionally funny at the time, but now isn't even remotely amusing.

This is a normal post Yup. Same principle, the gags that emerge from the situation still land but a lot of the cultural references to the mid 20th century need contextual subtitles or something.
Red Dwarf was a good concept and 'Son Of Cliché' is still an objectively funny name.
