© Allstar/WARNER BROS. TELEVISION Sure, there’s plenty that’s problematic about Friends if you care to view it through the prism of 2021. The fat-shaming, the casual homophobia and transphobia, the lack of diversity among the all-white cast of a sitcom set in arguably the most cosmopolitan city in the world. All valid points.

Readers’ Letters: Shame on BBC for poor show By Readers’ Letters © SNS Group BBC Scotland’s presentation of the Scottish Cup final was abysmal.

Thanks to two Premiership performances from James McPake’s Dark Blues over two legs. With those they took Kilmarnock’s place at the top table.
