Great news: TLC have decided to upload the new series of Mock The Week onto YouTube.
You can find it here.
Not so great news: You need to be in the UK to watch it.
Of course, there are many ways of being in the UK when you’re not actually in the UK, and so that’s not too much of a problem.
And I’ll also be using some of those techniques to enjoy the Winter Olympics over the next couple of weeks, given that our national broadcaster can’t afford it and the local Sports TV service has decided not to buy any rights either.
But that’s reasonable, because it’s only the cold places and the big countries that pay for that sort of thing, right?
Well, if I lived in Curacao or Afghanistan, I could watch.
Micronesia, Ghana and Guinea-Bissau are all broadcasting them, as are Yemen and South Sudan.
Cold. Big. Nope.
In fact, it seems like SA is just about the only place on the planet that is not showing any Olympics.
And so local residents will have to rely on the Olympics YouTube channel (not great) or digitally fly to some other place (like Yemen) to watch.
Which is absolutely ridiculous in 2026.
