I've now hyped my whole family up into believing that Tom Cruise is going to parachute into the stadium. They're going to kill me if this fantasy doesn't become reality. #ClosingCeremony

Well, I was pretty close... #ClosingCeremony

That intro from VCM referecning Kazuo Ishiguro, Simon Armitage and Aaron Sorkin was fantastic. Had us all howling at home. #OnlyConnect

Kids of the 80s: Pretend it's the six-week school summer holiday by watching this each morning.

God, I sometimes wish I was retired...

Sometimes, all that's needed to calm the nerves is a glass of wine and a cozy season five episode of The Avengers.

Very sad. Readers of Radio Times absolutely love shows such as Father Brown, Sister Boniface and Shakespeare & Hathaway. And they are always a pleasure for me to preview, too. RIP.

The kind of TV news that just has you grinning in anticipation. #Rivals

Thank you Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for the shout-out last night on Stephen Colbert The Late Show. I take great pride in my legacy as Janeway, especially inspiring the next generation of leaders. I wholeheartedly endorse Kamala Harris & Tim Walz - time for another #BlueWave2024 🌊 #KamalaHarris

Fuming that 5Select have just shown part 1 of a two-part Murder, She Wrote and haven't scheduled part 2. I may never know who the killer at the circus was and whether Jessica's brother-in-law was innocent. #MurderSheWrote Channel 5 5Select

I reckon Warner could win on his own against any team every week. #UniversityChallenge

A rewatch of Ncuti Gatwa's first season this week has left me in mid-life crisis mode as I realise that not only am I older than the actor playing the Doctor, but I also have a child who's older than the companion. #DoctorWho

If happycholia isn't a thing, it should be, as I'm feeling it now at the prospect of my older son returning to uni. I get this every year: optimism about his future mixed with a melancholy that life moves on. Very glad that I have the relationship with him that I do. Lucky.

Have woken up to Kemi Badenoch saying she's "not afraid of Doctor Who". Someone never saw Sharaz Jek rip off his gimp mask when she was a kid. #DoctorWho

Anybody else routinely shout "Johnny Ball!" whenever the contestants are asked to name a mathematician on #UniversityChallenge?

From 2pm BBC Shropshire, BBC Stoke & Staffordshire & BBC Hereford & Worcester: latest from #Paralympics #Paris2024; #Christmas market scam; David Brown from Radio Times with streaming recommendations; #BBCUpload and #Introducing; and another chance to hear Tim Prottey-Jones of FIRST TIME FLYERS

They say that prison conditions are awful but there must be a first-rate salon at the one where Chrissie is banged up. That hair! #EastEnders

Just messaged my older son: Me: You'll be glad - The Chase won Best Daytime. Him: Daytime? Surely, of all time? #TheChase #NTAs
