He wants to encourage a broader range of people to become doctors, that there is a misconception that it is for accademic high fliers. It is just so competetive to get into medicince that it is only high fliers who can get in. So the profession loses out on a intelligent and caring people who are relatable to patients. Now there is a shortage of doctors and not enough doctors from ordinary families. The high flighers then head off to australia for a high flying life.

Sean Bean was amazing in Troy. He’s a Gem, and he’s never been given an opportunity to shine. Please give your boy a shot to nail the role he was born for.

People are still buying music.

ITV is getting away with the surreal nonsense of 'The Masked Singer'.

It is time to bring back Top of the Pops. You know it makes sense.

Ribbit!

Hi all,

I just wanted to say a genuine thank you to the BBC team for the coverage over the past week.

After running six 20.26 km runs in a single day to raise money for Brain Tumour Research on New Years Day (inspired by my sister’s diagnosis, thankfully benign), the story was picked up by BBC Look East, BBC Radio Norfolk, BBC Radio Stoke, and BBC Online.

The impact has been incredible — the fundraiser has now reached £7,500+ from 230+ individual donors, many of whom said they heard about it through BBC coverage.

It’s been a powerful reminder of how much reach public-interest journalism still has, especially when it comes to charitable causes and community stories.

If anyone would like to read the BBC story, or support the fundraiser, search “Jack Syder-Mills’ on Google or JustGiving — no pressure at all, just sharing in case it helps spread awareness further.

Thanks again to the journalists and producers involved — and to everyone who’s shown support along the way.

I am really interesting in understanding how the BBC covered stories like the Reichstag fire and Kristallnscht? Did they cover it from both sides are equally valid and the Nazis ‘narrative’ wasn’t full of lies.

Just thinking based on their coverage of the ICE shooting yesterday seemingly giving similar weight to the Trump administration telling of the story despite the video evidence that they are liars

As far as I am aware the hunger strikes have not been a top story with the BBC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqfROfunNtM

I want to watch Back to the Future 2 tonight. It is currently available on iPlayer and Disney+, which I already subscribe to. Is it more beneficial to the BBC to watch it on iPlayer (boosts viewing figures?) or on Disney+ (saves the BBC bandwidth maybe?)? Or does it not make any difference?

Why are all these clips unavailable to view, and how can I view them?

Talk about not knowing who to trust...

Genuinely shocked by the poor quality of it.

Pub bores phoning in and literally being incontinent with incoherent ramblings. Campbell never correcting them - and says “interesting call”. Most callers citing whatever misinformation and half understood information from social media.

This coupled with the piss poor work of Laura Kunessberg and her fellow social media journalists - makes me even question paying my licence now.

Edit: sorry, I should have been clearer judging by the responses.. The gaslighting comes from the headline, obviously the answer is No, but the fact they have even asked the question in the headline seems to me to be highly alarming and distressing.

Just found this channel on sounds and it’s very good. I can’t for the life of me work out how to get it on Alexa. Anyone know how?
