What comedy show was this?

I am trying to remember a TV programme I caught snippets of when I was quite young. I remember two things:

- A man holding up a very unappetising-looking sausage and explaining to the viewer the nature of MRM, "mechanically recovered meat", which the UK was using in large amounts (supposedly)

- A pizza place called "S**T P***A"

The whole thing was, I think, poking fun at a slightly more apocalyptic version of modern-day Britain. It would have aired in the late '90s or early 2000s, probably on Channel 4. It was live-action.

Any ideas?

Do you recognise this TV show?

My parents would watch lots of "changing rooms"-style programmes when I was a kid, and I've been trying to track down the intro to one specific one for probably ten years. It only occurred to me now to ask Reddit. The only thing I recall about it, beyond that it was your typical "we went to someone's house and redecorated it for them while they were away" setup, was that the intro was purple and it had a labrador leaping onto a sofa cushion. You could call the music soft jazz.

I have a feeling it might possibly have been "Des Res" but I haven't been able to find a copy of that programme's intro to confirm.

15W Wireless Charging

There's lots of unanswered posts on Reddit about this. Can someone recommend a wireless charging stand that actually supports 15W through Qi (presumably EPP)? Amazon make it almost impossible to tell what you're buying and iPhone Qi chargers are all magnetic.

Is this a known thing? I've been waiting years for Wacom to fix it but I think I'd have more luck winning the lottery.
My ExpressKeys work perfectly in Photoshop 2026 (Windows 11) but they will gradually develop a lag and then eventually just stop working in toto. When this happens I have to stop Wacom's Pro Tablet drivers and restart them, which I have set up a script for, and then they work fine again.
It really feels as if there is a hard-coded limit to the amount of times I can use the keys before they die.

I've done my best to mitigate the issue but having to kill Photoshop to restart the drivers is a massive pain in the neck so if there's some magic pill I can take to aid this I'd love to hear it.
