In the desert days before Charlie bit anyone’s finger and that baby panda sneezed its way into our hearts, there was scant opportunity to see funny home videos. Video recording equipment was strictly a luxury item. Even if your town had a Rumbelows, it would set you back roughly the price of an Austin Allegro Estate to buy a camcorder only slightly smaller than an Austin Allegro Estate.
All of which meant that back then, the only way to see a toddler accidentally tip their nan into a pond, or a drunken man fall foul of an attempt to ride his son’s BMX up an improvised garden ramp was to be there in person.

We asked the producer of ITV’s You’ve Been Framed! about staged clips, smartphones, and why the £250 hasn’t gone up with inflation…
Home video clip show You've Been Framed! is an ITV Saturday teatime stalwart. It first arrived in 1990 and is now in the enviable position of airing its 29th series. Its current incarnation, presented by Harry Hill since 2004, hit preciselythe sweet spot between comic absurdity and human suffering.
It's the show, as producer Chris Thornton says, "everybody watches but nobody admits to watching. We've gone into more detail on the joys it provides, here.
Over email, we caught up with Thornton to find out the secret to the show's longevity, how the advent of smartphones has affected submissions, and why that £250 fee hasn't changed since day one...

"All right, me Old Chinas, it's me, Danny Dyer."
As if any introduction was necessary. Yes, everyone's favourite cockney stereotype and TV pub landlord is back - this time in paper form, with his new book Life Lessons from the East End.
The 38-year-old has forthright views on everything from the "slags" of modern pop to the "melts" of world politics, as well as revelations on his curious father figure - and how EastEnders producers stopped him drinking the booze in the Queen Vic.

You've Been Framed viewers have criticised the programme after a repeat failed to remove an insensitive Cilla Black joke.
A rerun shown over the weekend included a joke about the presenter banging her head in a swimming pool.
Black passed away at the age of 72 earlier this year, after suffering a traumatic head injury while in Spain.
The episode of You've Been Framed saw presenter Harry Hill narrate a scene featuring a red-haired woman falling and hitting her head, saying: "And here's Cilla Black's last show for ITV. Cilla's super splash down."
While the show originally aired months before Black's death, fans took to Twitter to voice their criticism:

After three weeks of chair-swapping drama, the Six Chair Challenge finally concludes this evening. All that's left is for Cheryl to finish choosing her groups and then for Simon to tackle the Overs category.

MTV has been warned by the Advertising Standards Authority (Asa) for airing alcohol adverts during episodes of Geordie Shore.
The watchdog has listed 22 different instances over the course of 8 different episodes, and has cautioned the broadcaster as they believe the reality show appeals to under-18s.
MTV has disputed that claim, saying that Geordie Shore is "firmly recognised" as an adult show featuring "extreme content". A spokesperson added that "no attempt has ever been made" to bring in viewers under the age of 18.
MTV said in a statement: "Alcohol ads were not scheduled before 9pm, and there was a content warning before the start of Geordie Shore and after each break that advised that the show was unsuitable for children."
However, according to the Asa "a reality show featuring cast members in their late teens and early twenties could appeal to under-18s, particularly when broadcast in the 9pm-to-9.59pm...

1999 seems so far away now. At the fag end of the millennium, it was the year that gave us Stanley Kubrick's posthumous final opus, Britney Spears's first album and Hugh Grant playing the iconic Time Lord in a Doctor Who Comic Relief special. That wretched song 'Blue' by Eiffel 65 was violating our ears. It also saw a micro-budget (reportedly $35k) film creep into UK cinemas on October 22 and change the horror genre forever. The debate rages on whether that was for better or worse.
The Blair Witch Project's financial rewards were huge, with the film grossing $10,931 for every $1 spent according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Yet its cultural impact was arguably more staggering.

Hill confirmed that TV Burp will not be coming back.
"I'm always flattered people remember it, but I've no plans to do another one," he stated. "I like Channel 4's Gogglebox, which does the same thing but in a different way.
"I am talking to people about a new TV show, so we'll see what happens."

Harry Hill is the man who can do little wrong. This deranged and ebullient comic, rarely seen without his undersized black suit and oversized white collars, exhibited blithely surreal tendencies from his first standup routines in the early 1990s. A move to mainstream entertainment occurred without compromise: rather than having to shape his humour to suit viewers of his ITV show Harry Hill's TV Burp, it felt as though the Saturday teatime sensibility had to bend to accommodate him. His skew-whiff commentary on You've Been Framed even transformed that deathly show into rewarding viewing. Having proved his skill at radio, TV, standup, painting and comic novels, he moves now into two new disciplines.
