Just heard @bigdaddybunce on Radio 5 #bbcolympics and was really moved by his compassionate, nuanced and sensitive defence of the two boxers being targeted by so much controversy and disgusting speculation. Great passion and great punditry.

I don't know why it annoys me so much, but it does. These holidays were NOT half-term! Half-term is a WEEK, in the middle of the term (clue is in the name!) Am I just old-fashioned?! 😂 – at North West, England

Jurgen Klopp will bring the curtain down on a eight-and-a-half-year managerial reign at Anfield this summer. His love for Liverpool - the place, the people and the club - remains as strong as ever💫 #BBCFootball

So sad to hear about Benjamin Zephaniah. He was featured on a short-lived BBC poetry programme many years ago performing Talking Turkeys and little me immediately went out to get his book from the local bookshop. Wonderful, joyful, language artist.

I really think @bbcstrictly needs to have a more rigorous policy for #musicalsweek. There are so many musicals that are musicals. Why pick stuff that essentially could be in movie week? #strictly

Things that were musical films are fine (Singing in the Rain, Oklahoma et al) but jukebox musicals should be out, as should things that were originally films and got made into musicals, imho. It's a real chance to showcase musicals and musical theatre. Use it. #strictly
