Charity sketch cross overs

What crossovers would you love to see for charity sketches, like Comic Relief, Stand Up To Cancer, Children In Need?

I’d love the Inbetweeners on Taskmaster, especially with the layer of Greg/Mr Gilbert - could just get them to say that he looked just like their teacher.

I’d also like Strictly Come Dancing with Gavin and Stacey cast or Ghosts. Ghosts would be fun to play with given they can walk through people/not touch much, except Julian.

Solo songs as Oasis

What songs from their solo careers would you like to hear them cover as Oasis? Mine is ‘If I had a gun’ from NGHFB. Think it would suit Liam’s voice better.

Looking for chemist advice - heavy metals in Temu/Shein risk

I know a lot of low cost sites with direct shipping from China (like Temu, Shein, Amazon) have risk of containing lead, cadmium, antimony etc.

I have contamination OCD and it is going wild with it after learning that a few friends and family members use Shein/Temu to buy clothes and toys for children.

I explained the risks, but they don’t seem to agree.

Can anyone advise or know the level of exposure or risk that I would have?

I’ve stayed at their homes, hugged, touched their clothes/hair/hands, interacted with them, played with toys and shared surfaces the toys/clothes have been on.

Lost job, struggling, £98 a week

Hello,

I lost my job at the start of July - a fixed term contract ended and I haven’t been able to get work since.

I’ve been applying to anything I can and have had a few interviews, with some more this week, but having little luck and I’m now struggling more than I ever have.

I’ve been trying to make ends meet, but I’m really feeling hopeless. I’m on £98 a week at the moment with no extra support, trying to pause or delay bills and minimise food bills to reduce outgoings as much as I can. Just wanting to get by.

I’ve lost all luxuries I used to have and am trying to squeeze the last drop out of everything I can.

It’s really hard and money is tight - asking for a little support for some hygiene basics (period pads, wipes, deodorant) and kitty cat food to keep them living with me: https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/EAQTI1Z35UHO?ref\_=wl\_share

Thank you to anyone who could help. If anyone has any other advice, very gratefully received as I’ve not been in this position before and finding it very hard to keep going and motivated 😢❤️‍🩹

Controversial contestants

I find it interesting that the inclusion of Matt Lucas has brought up (quite rightly) his association with Little Britain, racist stereotypes and blackface.

I do acknowledge he’s apologised for it since multiple times and also recognise it wouldn’t be broadcast today.

However, there’s lots of past contestants who have also previously done similar, but it’s not been as widely picked up by articles (ie. Metro) or discussed.

For example, Noel Fielding, Reece Shearsmith, David Baddiel all did black face.

Has there been anyone else who’s picked up quite so much controversy for being on the show at Matt Lucas?

Which show?

Coming to London on 18 June and have a spare afternoon or evening to see a show.

My options are The Producers, The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind, Devil Wears Prada, Kinky Boots, My Neighbour Totoro and Oh Mary!

Which one would you choose?

I’ve already seen and liked Play That Goes Wrong (love Mischief!), The Comedy About Spies, Lion King, Wicked, Operation Mincemeat, Hamilton, Hercules, Aladdin, BFG, RSC A Midsummer Nights Dream, Matilda (another fave!) Paddington, Beetlejuice, Mamma Mia, Everybody’s Talking Anout Jamie, 13 Going On 30, Freaky Friday, Mrs Doubtfire, Back to the Future, Six.

There’s been no shows that I’ve hugely disliked.
