What you may need to know:

1. Things got pretty damn silly during Season Two.

2. Ginger God Damien Lewis isn’t in the first two episodes of Season Three.

3. You can never, ever look at Homeland the same way again after this.

4. We’re big fans of The Claire Danes Cry Face Project. Great band name waiting to happen.

5. Truth be told, we’re more excited about the return of 24.

New video has been released showing giant panda Yuan Yuan being reunited with her cub after a month apart. The baby panda was removed from her mother after zookeepers feared that Yuan Yuan might kill or even eat her. Taipei City Zoo has released video showing the tender moment when the pair were reunited. The video shows the mother, Yuan Yuan, using her mouth to pick up her cub and then cuddling and breastfeeding her.

He’s a Corkman of worldwide renown,
Though of course there’s no way,
He’d have won in my day,
Before athletics got dumbed down.
