3 h. ago The Guide #211: What the world is watching, from Brazilian telenovelas to superheroes made of red bean paste

In this week’s newsletter: Guardian writers spotlight the much-loved shows in the country they live, including Jamaican breakfast telly, Big Brother Naija and X Factor for Polish pianistsA little while ago the Guide looked at the wave of international post-apocalyptic dramas washing up on our shores, bringing tales of climate catastrophe, violent autocracy and alien invasions from as far afield as Argentina, Nigeria and Korea. As well as revealing just how terrified the whole world is of the prospect of institutional collapse, it also – somewhat more positively – underscored what a globally connected industry TV is in 2025. Streaming networks, satellite channels, YouTube and hooky pirate streams can instantly serve up local content from every continent (Antartica excepted, though I’d love to hear if there’s a penguin mob drama from King George Island that I’ve missed).Still, as intermingled as TV is these days, there are still so many programmes that will probably never reach our sh...

5 h. ago Michelle Mone told us ‘business isn’t easy’ during Covid. How are things now, your ladyship? | Marina Hyde

After a company she was linked to was ordered to repay £122m it made from pandemic deals, the baroness has embarked on a masterclass in victimhoodBy their own accounts, there have been two Westminster-adjacent victims of inflammatory language this week. One is the Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, hurt to the point of requiring smelling salts by some politically commonplace words spoken by the prime minister. And the other is legally besieged bra baroness Michelle Mone, who has always been performatively sensitive, with chaos as her rising sign.Alas, far from their shared victimhood drawing our two snowflakes closer together, in Michelle, we may have finally found the Tory from whom Nigel would not accept a defection to Reform. Which really means something, considering Britain’s would-be next prime minister currently has precisely zero peers in the House of Lords. Like the PPE she provided during the pandemic, Michelle would be deemed incredibly expensive and absolutely unusable.Marin...
