It's called The Daily Show for a reason

 

Ok, it's not on every day but more than half the week is good enough to be Daily.

More4 today announced that UK viewers are to now only get to see a weekly highlights version of Comedy Central's The Daily Show from the New Year.

Boo.

In August, when More4 bought the US version of Shameless it signalled an intent to boost a roster of:

high-end American programming

 

Three months later it effectively drops the highest of the high end.  My Sky+ viewing will now be decimated, and the only reason I watch More4 and the majority of its adverts is now gone.  Good work there Channel 4.

So to the internet we go. 

Here's a fascinating interview with Gordon Brown from a few days ago.  Astonishing to see Brown so relaxed. Notably genuine with jokes and laughter, I'm most struck by how he is so quick and sure of his replies.  He NEVER performed like this in his entire cabinet and PM career.  Free of the shackles of PR advisers he is quite engaging.  In a pompous intellectual way.

This piece on the London Student protest / riot is worth a look too.
