Last night, 9pm. Twitterers around the country wait excitedly for the return of Channel 4 robo-drama Humans after over a year away. Would the synth uprising begin? Would the show take another smart look into artificial intelligence?

RIP radiator. You’ll always hold a warm spot in our hearts (between six and seven in the morning and maybe another hour after work depending on what the weather's doing).
