Yes, I'm still watching reruns of The Office while the world is on fire - and this is why

fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.radi

<p>After spending a soul-rending hour the other evening watching the planet lurch towards catastrophe on BBC News, I did the only thing that seemed remotely survivable: I watched Michael Scott burn his foot on a George Foreman grill in The Office. Classic coping strategy. When the world darkens, reach for comedy.</p><p>Except when I mentioned this in my own office the next day, a colleague pushed back. Wasn’t that the problem? Hadn’t we all spent too long hooked up to a drip feed of television? Wasn’t I just dosing myself with distraction while the house burned down? The instinct, he suggested, shouldn’t be to laugh at Steve Carell. It should be to go outside, hold a placard, and join a march. A sitcom might feel like a salve, but what if it’s also the reason we feel so politically sapped?</p><p>He had a point. I was thinking I’d been sensibly managing my mood, when perhaps I’d simply been feeding a culture of diversion that leaves us passive. It reminded me of a book I read years ago by Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death, in which he argued that television turns the world into razzmatazz. When everything becomes entertainment, nothing carries any weight.</p><p>Suddenly, my 25-minute visit to the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company felt less like harmless relief and more like complicity. I’d only wanted a break from a news cycle that amplifies dread with every airstrike. Instead, apparently, I was another strand in the web.</p>

Star Trek is facing a critical moment in its history – but here's how it can still live long and prosper

fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.radi

<p>With no new shows in active development for the first time in over a decade and <a href="https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/star-trek-in-order-release-chronological/">Star Trek</a> now old enough to get a bus pass, the franchise is in a strange place.</p><p>Trek has endured for 60 years for a very good reason: it provides a hopeful and optimistic view of the future that foregrounds diverse characters, diverse voices and a focus on problem-solving through science and cooperation above all else.</p><p>It shows us a hopeful vision of tomorrow while also overflowing with creative aliens, starships packed with the kind of technology that’s been inspiring scientists and engineers for decades, and beloved characters like Kirk, Spock and Picard that are as popular now as they were when they first debuted.</p><p>However, in an increasingly unstable world that prioritises self-referential humour over sincerity, it can often feel like Trek is a relic out of time. So the question becomes, what does Star Trek need to do to survive another 60 years in a world where hope is seen as old-fashioned?</p><p>It begins with that famous maxim, “infinite diversity, infinite combinations.” Diversity is deeply ingrained in the DNA of Star Trek. Whether it’s the revolutionary approach to casting and bold decisions to foreground people of colour and women, or it’s the kinds of stories they’re willing to tell that challenge societal structures like capitalism, racism and bodily autonomy.</p>

Rachel Weisz's Vladimir makes an unforgivable yet common mistake – it cheats the audience

fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.radi

<p><strong>*Warning - contains spoilers for all eight episodes of Vladimir.*</strong></p><p>At the end of last year, I spoke with the writer Dennis Kelly, known for his series such as Utopia and Pulling. He was promoting his phenomenal BBC drama, <a href="https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/waiting-for-the-out-review/">Waiting for the Out</a>, when he made the following comment:</p><p>"My bugbear at the moment is that we are currently mistaking adrenaline for drama. We currently think that adrenaline and drama are the same thing and they f**king are not.</p><p>"The amount of times you see one of these Netflix-type things – look, I've done this as well, so I'm not slagging it off too much – but someone wakes up and they're in a crime scene or something, and then you flash back, and it's like, what you're saying to the audience is, 'This is boring, right? But don't worry, you're going to see someone die.' You just think, 'F**king hell, that's so lame.'"</p><p>It's important to note, Kelly wasn't speaking about any one drama or <a href="https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/netflix/">Netflix</a> series in particular. He certainly wasn't speaking about <a href="https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/vladimir-rachel-weisz-first-look-newsupdate/">Vladimir</a>, which wouldn't be released for a number of months after we spoke. However, to my mind, he may as well have been.</p>

Alexander Armstrong reveals his most memorable moments from his trip to India – including a "must-do" cremation

fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.radi

<p><em>This article first appeared in </em><strong><em>Radio Times magazine</em></strong><em>.</em></p><p>There are, Alexander Armstrong reminds us in his Channel 5 travelogue, 1.4 billion people in India. And, he tells <a href="http://radiotimes.com">Radio Times</a>, “I gave it a good shot at meeting them all.” Clearly, he’s a man who’s covered the ground. Here are his most memorable moments.</p><p><strong>Must-see: Tigers</strong></p><p>We saw all sorts of amazing creatures on this trip: elephants blocking our way on the roads, macaques who’ve learnt to steal mobile phones and only return them in exchange for a bag of crisps – and not any old packet, either; they want a proper grab bag. But the truly astonishing thing to glimpse is a tiger, which we saw at Bandipur reserve (<strong>bandipurtr.in</strong>). Their power, their muscles, their teeth, the way they pad… they’re beautiful but they’re also exciting. Even their “camouflage” is like flame: it’s like watching red-hot lava against the ice of Reykjavik. And these tigers aren’t cosseted. They’re finding their own food – and it’s not grab bags.</p><p><strong>Must-do: Cremation</strong></p><p>One of the experiences that will live with me for ever, scarred onto my retina, is going to the ghats [stepped embankments] in Delhi. I’m 55, and I’d never seen a dead body before – but then, on these steps beside the river, you can’t move for dead bodies, and they’re beautiful. They’re laid out in resplendent robes, with endless pray
