AIR AFRIKAANS
Jnanasalin unearthed this compilation of sketches in the summer, and some of its catch phrases have now entered our collection of in jokes and references.
HAMZA YASSIN
What an example and inspiration this man has been on Strictly this year. A joy to watch dance, and a lovely natured person to boot. Who has been transformed from a relatively unknown wildlife cameraman and presenter into a bit of a national treasure, in little over three months of competition.
QUORN ADVERT
Its rare that an advert enters into my consciousness so firmly and with so much love for it. This is simply a genius advert that I never tire of viewing
SHINOBU HASHIMOTO
This year I've had a growing fondness for ASMR videos and watching things being made or restored in real time. This Japanese potter is just one of the better examples. I'll watch hours of him just making a teapot.
MEG SALTER
With this phone video Salter nails a certain sort of 'gay washing' that sometimes goes on. The genius authenticity of her acting in this sketch about someone's rather clumsy attempt at ingratiating themselves with 'the gays' is a hoot.
BROTHER DAVID STEINDL-RAST
Discovering this man's lifes work based on gratefulness, has had quite a strong effect on my practice over the year. A brilliantly gifted communicator with a simple unfussy humility. Without any sense of dumbing down, or empty spiritual cliches, these blessings here remain helpful whether you believe in god, are an atheist, or are not remotely religious at all.
