Did you know one of the first and most prolific early film directors (and the first person to write, direct and produce their own narrative film) was a woman? Alice Guy-Blache died 50 years ago today and barely anyone knows who she is. That needs to change

Help Twitter. My friend's kitten has gone missing in Angel today. If anyone spots a little cat in the area please get in touch and feel very free to share. It's awfully hot outside.

With rich characters and a multi-layered story that is more than just a police procedural, BBC One's #Sherwood is regional drama done right ★★★★★

Hard not to eyeroll at the smug people tweeting about teenagers discovering Kate Bush from Stranger Things like you didn't discover David Bowie from Labyrinth.

Channel 4 is showing Zelensky's comedy show, Servant of the People, on Sunday. In it, he plays a normal guy who accidentally becomes the president of Ukraine... I reviewed it. Watching it will make you feel slightly insane (but it's good!)

Hi Harry and Jack Williams . Can we talk about #thetourist and a) an Irishman who doesn't "know how to drive a stick" and b) uses the phrase "drive a stick".

Sorry folks but Betty White never said the "grow some balls" thing and she didn't much like that you thought she did.

Normalise sending PR photographers to TV sets rather than just taking screengrabs later.

This is horrible news. Joey Jordison was one of a kind. A spectacular monster of a drummer and writer. 46 is far too young.

Oof #Together on BBC Two is good. James McAvoy and Sharon Horgan are both incredible. A drama about a bickering couple sounds tedious - but the Kelly/Daldry/Friedman/Horgan/McAvoy dream talent shines through.

Well done Bafta. Save Me and Save Me Too never got the viewing figures they deserved. Hopefully more people will whack it on after this.

Watched Bo Burnham's Inside now I'm watching What because I've not really seen his comedy before (I'm old OK).
He's certainly improved hasn't he?

Not sure where the Irish Matt Le Blanc meme has come from. The man is stocky, not particularly tall and his hair used to be almost black. That there is a Welsh uncle.

It was a hard secret to keep, but I am absolutely delighted that Dewi has finally had his moment of fame in #LineOfDuty living in Witness Protection with Jo Davidson. So proud of him.

The Telegraph TV desk have probably spent more hours picking apart and analysing #LineofDuty than the show's actual screen time. And do you know how much we got right? Near enough bugger all. Well done .

#LineofDuty is the easiest money James Nesbitt ever made.

I had to ring an actual BMJ journalist () to explain this to me because I have even worse biology knowledge that you might expect. Mr Mercurio doesn't half make us TV journalists work hard.

I think it's basically code for "they're very close relatives so definitely know each other" but there's a small chance it also means incest. In which case, Jed, ew.

Generally the term is used to describe how a child inherited something like, say, blue eyes, or cystic fibrosis - because both parents had that same bit of genetic sequence.

Homo whassity? That phrase that Steve just said is "runs of homozygosity". It means, in idiot terms, that there's a chunk of DNA that matches both Jo Davidson and Tommy Hunter and that chunk of DNA can only have come from both parents having that same chunk themselves (thread)

What a dazzling, magnetic presence she was, with so much left ahead of her. This is awful awful news.
