Doctor Who/Chorley/TV Ratings/Movies/Moans. Not necessarily in that order. Runs @ChorleyTheatre and tries to earn living designing.

@2hrTV The statement the other day said it’s happening, but I think the tender process only closed a few months ago so not able to properly announce yet

Keep seeing posts like this, as if ITV have spent billions of pounds and a century building the New York skyline just for the World Cup, and not, say, just plonked a sofa, decking and pot plants on top of a warehouse for a month.

As ITV unveil there super-snazzy Brooklyn studio for the World Cup I do feel a bit for the BBC who will broadcasting games back in Salford.

The location will have cost ITV a fortune and the BBC can’t win… if they go then there is criticism every day about the cost and, if they don’t go, they get hammered for staying at home.

Must feel very distant at the moment though.

Got this “sandwich kit” from @Tesco - a mere £3.50 not including bread! (I didn’t pay that much). Helpfully it includes instructions on how to make it a sandwich. Until now I’d always put bread in the middle - thanks Tesco for showing me the correct way!

Very much enjoyed #DisclosureDay. Spielberg returns to themes of certain classic films with an adult pov for the world we’re in today. I wish he still had the colour of his old films but at least John Williams is still there to push the buttons.

@GuyLambertUK @CameronYardeJnr This was surely the most ridiculous of all the stories! Why would they film in secret then keep it on the shelf for 6 months? Makes no sense even in its own bullshit.

I know the BBC want that lawsuit to go away but I’m not sure letting Donald Trump design the new #Strictly logo was a good idea.

[TV Zone @tvukzone]

NEW: #Strictly Come Dancing unveils new logo. More details:

Enjoyed #MastersoftheUniverse - it’s a lot of fun, propelled by @DANIELPEMBERTON’s driving score (with @DrBrianMay’s “power” guitar). Decent action, many good gags and we’ve all learnt something.

Overheard a group of people tonight who were not sure if they'd be voting for Andy Burnham or not because they thought he looks a bit scruffy. "He shouldn't be meeting world leaders looking like that" they said.

@comedystoreuk Is there a prize for guessing where Markus Birdman is? Under the sofa? Behind the TV?

[Ian Robinson @ChorleyRobbie]

@josielawrence1 Crikey! Happy Birthday!

[Ian Robinson @ChorleyRobbie]

@daryl_millar @CameronYardeJnr I think it ran on BBC2 for four or five years (with Wallace and AWT) before the transfer

[Ian Robinson @ChorleyRobbie]

@eric_ernie_col @sggamwells A shame. It does feel at times Eric’s kids have to help keep Ernie relevant too but I’m not sure how they feel about that?

[Ian Robinson @ChorleyRobbie]

@eric_ernie_col @sggamwells Am I right in saying Ernie didn’t have any kids, and so there’s no one to prolong the legacy the way Gary and Gail have for Eric?

[Ian Robinson @ChorleyRobbie]

@CameronYardeJnr @ERCboxoffice Sometimes. But why would they do it this time when they already have other films out and have loads more on the way? Imagine not programming Toy Story 5 because Mando’s tied to screen 1. M&G has done exactly the job Disney wanted (although they probably did hope for bigger BO)

[Ian Robinson @ChorleyRobbie]

@CameronYardeJnr @ERCboxoffice They haven’t pushed for guaranteed screens with this film

[Ian Robinson @ChorleyRobbie]

@JamesOldham The road closure is because getting a lift at the train station has been something of a personal mission but the shop owners must have had a go at him for it. I doubt he expected that road to be closed so long.

[Ian Robinson @ChorleyRobbie]

@gbsheard It’s not an account I follow but comes up a lot in my feed and I’m always amazed how someone with “production news” in their name doesn’t understand how productions or news works.

[Ian Robinson @ChorleyRobbie]

@danny_robins Bloody hell, did the poltergeist take the photos too?

[Ian Robinson @ChorleyRobbie]

@daryl_millar There was another poster where Oliver pointed out the “werewolf” that looked to me like the artist had seen Jon Pertwee’s Inferno
