Groundhog TV

Waking ridiculously early in a London hotel the other morning, I watched an episode of Simon Schama’s magnificent ‘History of Britain’, on a TV channel called ‘Yesterday’.

I returned to the room very much later after a long day out at work, and flicked on the TV. The same channel appeared, with a plain screen displaying the announcement:

Yesterday returns at 6 a.m.

I’m sure it made perfect sense to the writer – just like so much proposal text, ending up almost comically inept for wont of peer review.
