Did you see Folkestone on TV last night?

The town looked nice on The Culture Show, I'm glad. That's why I was looking up The Culture Show yesterday when I mentioned the Ricky Gervais stuff, to find out when this feature was on, must have got distracted before I found it or I'd have plugged it in advance. They're after some of my pictures for their flickr group and I've agreed. They do not have any terms and conditions suggesting they can reuse my photos by doing so, so I think it's OK. The Beeb were criticised before for their terms and conditions, these were from another bbc group:

By sharing any photos with this BBC Britain in Pictures group on Flickr you agree to grant free of charge to the BBC, for public service purposes only, permission to use the photos as proposed above, including the ability to modify (for operational reasons) and sub-licence this right (for public service purposes only), in accordance with the privacy restrictions set out in the BBC's Privacy Policy.

They don't have these terms in this case, so they can't use my photo, am I right?

An aside, Vic Reeves said on the show last night that he lived in Folkestone for two years, in a flat overlooking the sea. Some misspeaking there I think, I believe he lived in the huge house opposite our flat on Earls Avenue. He would know better than I, he moved out before we moved in, but Clare's aunt and uncle were his next door neighbour at this time.

See that episode of the Culture Show on BBC iPlayer right now!

TV Highlights

A condemned towerblock, an old diary and a monumentally ugly dog form the basis of a tautly woven edition of the police drama.

It seemed such a good idea - a comedy about football-mad parents following their children's team. But sadly the mockumentary format keeps tripping over its laces.

Addison finishes her LA-based crossover episodes with tears and a lot of girly emoting. But the real action is back in Seattle, where Meredith gets a slap in the face.

Phillips Idowu goes for gold in the triple jump from 1:30pm this afternoon, on a day that also sees the men's 110m hurdles and 400m finals in the Bird's Nest stadium.

Professor Robert Winston at the cutting edge - a look at surgical procedures that are still experimental, including a robot that performs keyhole surgery on children.

Maggie Gyllenhaal gives a spectacular and naturalistic performance as a former drug addict and ex-con attempting to rebuild her relationship with her daughter.
