When I was growing up the best sitcoms were on the BBC. With one exception: ITV’s Rising Damp, brilliantly written by Eric Chappell & starring the talented Leonard Rossiter. It's 50 years since this Yorkshire Television gem first aired. Great theme tune, too, by Dennis Wilson.

#OTD 50 years ago, the very first episode of The Sweeney first aired on television. With its gritty realism, dry humour and shocking violence, ‘Ringer’ marked the beginning of what was soon to become one of the best police crime dramas in televisual history… #TheSweeneyAt50

Since #Dhurandhar is trending, I couldn’t help posting a clip from one of my fav Priyadarshan films Aakrosh, released 15 years back, also starring #AkshayeKhanna & #AjayDevgn. The movie was based on casteism & honour k!llngs. Dialogues are written by none other than Aditya Dhar.

Jacob talks about realizing Heated Rivalry was “successful”: “There were different steps along the way. I can remember the Friday when the third episode aired—that weekend. Because I thought, the first weekend, I was like, “Oh, that's going to be the end of that [buzz], and I'll never hear about anybody watching the show again." And then the second weekend, when episode three aired, it felt—I was like, "Oh, it's just more." And I was like, "Oh, I think this show is successful, I guess." 🗣️ Television Academy Honors, May 20, 2026 ▶️ ✍🏼 transcription by Heated Rivalry News

History from first hand sources are the best place to start when in search of the truth. "The wars of the Jews" written by Josephus You can find it on Amazon. Written in 73-75 ad I believe by someone who was there. It's a good place to start to find out how we got here.

Released in 1975, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was an animated television special directed by legendary animator Chuck Jones and based on the classic story by Rudyard Kipling. The story follows a brave mongoose who takes on two deadly cobras to protect the family that rescued him. For a generation of kids, it was one of those rare animated films that felt genuinely intense. The stakes were real, the villains were terrifying, and you couldn't help but root for Rikki-Tikki every step of the way. More than 50 years later, it's still remembered as one of the finest animated adaptations ever put on television. Did you watch Rikki-Tikki-Tavi growing up?

This is the first time I've seen him pass by here since our first encounter. I don't know maybe I usually wake up late or he goes to school too early 😂😭 I was in the bathroom when my mom called me to come see him. The kids from the other school were hyping him up, shouting "Sope purrr" 😂😂

#FNF This has the be the first time that an FNF song utilizes the CHARTING as a form of storytelling. I REALLY want to know what the director was thinking when coming up with this, as it's one of the most visually/musically unique songs I have ever seen in the FNF community.

TURKISH ATROCITIES IN CYPRUS🚨 This was aired on Cyprus TV last night, the person recounting the events is my relative. She was 12 years old when the Turks invaded her village and apart from being raped by more than 10 Turkish soldiers on many occasions, she witnessed the execution of her family and relatives. This is the first time since then that she accepted to recount the crime committed by Turkey. She is not the only one though
