Bernd das Brot, a pessimistic bread puppet, celebrates 25 years on TV
Bernd das Brot, a perpetually pessimistic German bread puppet, is celebrating 25 years on TV.
Initially a children's show character, Bernd gained a cult adult following after his show was aired during late-night hours.
Known for his gloomy demeanour and catchphrase 'I would like to leave this show', Bernd's popularity stems from his relatable pessimism and dry humour.
Bernd even won the prestigious Adolf Grimme Prize in 2004 for 'representing the right to be in a bad mood'.
KiKA, the German children's channel Bernd calls home, is celebrating his anniversary with new episodes and online activities.

Brooklyn Beckham locked in trademark war with Becks just weeks after family feud is laid bare
BROOKYLN Beckham has another row brewing with a Becks — but this time it's not his famous father. The eldest son of David and Victoria wants to expand his hot sauce brand so applied to trademark 'Becks Buns' in the US. Advertisement 5 Brooklyn Beckham (pictured with wife Nicola Peltz) is facing a trademark battle over the name of his hot sauce Credit: Getty 5 Brooklyn is currently locked in a feud with his famous family Credit: instagram 5 Brooklyn snubbed his dad's 50th birthday celebrations Credit: Getty But the company that makes Beck's beer is set to challenge it. It comes after the Beckham family feud was blown open last month when Brooklyn, 26, missed all of David's 50th birthday celebrations. A source said: 'It's one thing after another for Brooklyn. "First his row with his dad blows up — and now he's got another Beck's looking like it's going to become a bit of a headache.' Advertisement Brooklyn applied in January to use the name 'Becks Buns' within his Buster Hot Sauce Inc company. However, the beer's German parent firm Brauerei Beck & Co has opposed it and been granted an extension until next month to file documents. The company is part of alcohol giant AB InBev, which produces one in four lagers sold worldwide, including Stella Artois and Budweiser as well as Beck's. Brooklyn launched his first hot sauce, Cloud 23, last year and said: 'It's been a passion project of mine for the last 2½ years, something I've literally put everything into. I've never worked so hard on anything in my life.' Advertisement His parents attended the launch event in LA. However, insiders said their relationship has 'never been more fractured'. Those close to Brooklyn — who is married to US actress Nicola Peltz, 30 — insist he made a private attempt to meet his dad ahead of his 50th. But that was vehemently denied by sources close to the former England captain. Advertisement It was also claimed Nicola, who has been accused of 'controlling' her husband, had hired a PR guru. Those close to her believe she is being 'unfairly blamed' for the issues. KICK? NO HE'LL EDIT FOOTIE icon David Beckham is to guest edit Country Life mag in October. Editor-in-chief Mark Hedges said: 'David told me he reads every issue from cover to cover.' David, who lives in a £12million manor in Oxfordshire, said: 'I am really looking forward to working with the team to produce an issue that will celebrate the countryside.' Mr Hedges said the October edition will feature David's 'favourite view and his best-loved recipe'. 5 Brauerei Beck & Co, who make Beck's beer, are set to challenge the trademark Credit: Alamy 5 David Beckham is set to guest edit Country Life mag in October Credit: Getty Advertisement Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club.

Aldi drops 'divine' new lip balms similar to iconic £23 brand for under £4
Aldi's latest Lacura beauty buy has already been crowned the standout of its latest summer line-up. It's very rare that a new Aldi beauty buy goes unnoticed. Not only do they offer high quality on a budget, but they often mimic high-end brands. With lip balms being a viral summer must-have at the moment, it should come as no surprise that the budget supermarket has jumped on the latest beauty trend with a trio that is similar to an iconic brand - but at over £19 cheaper. The German discounter's newly launched Lacura Lip Butter Balms, priced at £3.49 each, are said to boast a "buttery smooth" and "nourishing" formula, with three flavours available to choose from - Cake Pop, Dulce De Leche and Vanilla. Boasting a high-shine formula, they have been infused with a blend of hydrating ingredients Shea Butter & Murumuru Seed Butter for a softer, smoother looking pout. Even though they are a recent addition, they have already bowled over the supermarket's newly created Beauty Club, a panel of shoppers turned beauty insiders, who crowned the balms the standout product from the new summer line. To entice beauty fans even more, many have confirmed that they are borderline identical to the iconic Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balms that cost £23, making Aldi's 'dupe' £19.50 less expensive. It's not the only beauty trend Aldi has jumped on recently, as it also dipped its toes into K-beauty with its brand new £4.99 Watermelon Serums that are 84 percent cheaper than beloved brand Glow Recipe. For the beauty buffs who want to get that contoured appearance, there is also the brand new Lacura Sculpting Bronzing Stick, £4.49, that is available in shades 'light' and 'medium' offering a creamy texture that "blends like an absolute dream." However, it's the lip saviours that seem to have caught the eye of many devoted fans, as many of them said they were "obsessed" and "need them all" after they were shared on Aldi's Instagram account. The full caption read: "Safe to say we're OBSESSED. Will you be picking up Vanilla, Cake Pop or Dulce De Leche? Lacura Lip Balm £3.49 in store now!" As is the case with all Lacura Specialbuys, they were instantly popular as one shopper gushed: "Got all 3 today! Love an Aldi dupe." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The £3.49 Lacura Lip Butter Balm Trio is available to buy in Aldi stores nationwide now. Remember, as is the case with all Specialbuys, once they are gone, they are gone, and stock can differ in each store.
