Naga Munchetty cuts off Charlie Stayt with brutal swipe live on BBC Breakfast
BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty didn't hold back in delivering a brutal comment to her co-host. BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty couldn't resist taking a playful dig at her colleague Charlie Stayt this Friday. The presenting duo were discussing the enduring impact of David Lynch, noting that the iconic filmmaker's personal effects are now going under the hammer in a live auction. Charlie, feeling nostalgic, tried to hum the Twin Peaks theme tune, admitting: "As soon as you say Twin Peaks, in my head I've got..." Naga chuckled at his musical attempt and when Charlie suggested, "Give it time, you've got to give it time - I think I did it about right!" she swiftly shut him down with a firm, "No don't." She teasingly prodded further: "It says a lot about what's in your head, doesn't it, really?" Unfazed, Charlie retorted with a smile: "It's always in my head." The pair had been delving into the upcoming auction of Lynch's belongings from his home, which includes memorabilia from his cult classics such as Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead, and The Elephant Man. Naga detailed: "David Lynch, the film director who died earlier this year, obviously famed for Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive, there is an auction of his stuff and because his films are so kind of out there, you can imagine what they were like." She highlighted some of the more quirky items up for grabs, including coffee machines from the Twin Peaks diner, a log lady ceramic mug complete with a faux log handle, walkie talkies labelled with his name from movie sets, a duo of taxidermied deer heads, and a crimson curtain from the infamous Red Room sequence. Lynch passed away at the age of 78 on January 15, succumbing to cardiac arrest induced by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Confined to his home due to emphysema from his chain-smoking habits, his demise was later linked to the COPD condition he battled. In an emotional admission last year, Lynch stated on X: "Ladies and Gentlemen, yes, I have emphysema from my many years of smoking. "I have to say that I enjoyed smoking very much, and I do love tobacco - the smell of it, lighting cigarettes on fire, smoking them - but there is a price to pay for this enjoyment, and the price for me is emphysema." He continued in grateful spirits, despite his diagnosis: "I have now quit smoking for over two years. Recently I had many tests and the good news is that I am in excellent shape except for emphysema. I am filled with happiness, and I will never retire. I want you all to know that I really appreciate your concern. Love, David." Naga on BBC Breakfast noted that Lynch's personal items such as lighters and ashtrays were up for auction, described as "in a macabre touch". BBC Breakfast airs every weekday starting at 6am on BBC One and iPlayer.

Is Zack Hudson leaving EastEnders and is he really dead after watery car plunge?
Zack Hudson's (James Farrar) fate was left hanging in the balance in EastEnders after the car he was in plummeted off a bridge and into the river. The popular character, a brother of show legend Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), was determined to exit Walford after Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) threatened his loved ones. The chef recently discovered that Nicola's youngest Barney (Lewis Bridgeman) is his biological son after he and the Mitchell matriarch had an affair 16 years ago. Knowing that the Mitchells – in particularly Nicola – are dangerous, Zack resolved to get Barney out of dodge, hoping his son's brother Harry (Elijah Holloway) would come through and help him. Upon learning of Nicola's true nature, Harry seemed like he wanted to help Zack but, not wanting to lose his little brother, the mechanic attacked Zack and bundled him into the boot of a car. Teddy (Roland Manookian) intervened, giving chase and – upon catching up with him -talked sense into Harry, who relented and allowed Zack out of the boot. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video But tragedy struck when Zack came to and, believing Teddy to a threat, he grabbed the steering wheel, sending their vehicle into the watery depths below. Zack was subsequently declared dead by all those present on the night of the accident, but – as we soap fans know too well – no body can often equate to no death. So is Zack really dead? Be warned EastEnders fans, spoilers follow for Thursday's (May 29) episode, which is now available to stream on iPlayer. No, Zack is not dead. In fact, he's very much alive! To our knowledge, he's not leaving the show – especially in the wake of Thursday's episode. As Barney processed the revelation that Zack is his father, he shared a heart-to-heart with Teddy, who assured him that he will always be his dad – blood relative or not. Barney subsequent sought support from Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) and Linda Carter (Kellie Bright). As they discussed the events of the day in question, a drenched Zack entered the property! More Trending Everyone was left in shock, believing Zack to have perished in the watery car plunge, but the chef is alive and well. He urged Barney to reconsider having Nicola in his life and instead come away with him but confused Barney instead raced into the Square, where Nicola asked him what he wants. Barney told her that he wants everything to go back to the way it was as he, Nicola, Teddy and Harry returned home to No. 1 to play a board game, much to the chagrin of Zack.

Something For The Weekend: Peggy Seeger's cultural picks
We're honoured to welcome a true music legend to these pages... Peggy Seeger's 25th and final solo album, Teleology released this month before her 90th birthday, marks over 70 years as a working musician, feminist and activist. Her 7-date Irish concert tour in June will be her very last. After the tour, Peggy will retire from recording and live performance. This is no apologetic or quiet farewell – her voice and songwriting are still major forces to be reckoned with. Peggy says: "It is unavoidable that at 90 I am preoccupied with life, love, loss, old age and death but I've never abandoned politics or the compulsion to speak up when something isn't right. How I got here is still a bit of a mystery, but I'm exactly where I should be right now, and I'm at peace with that." We asked Peggy for her choice cultural picks... FILM My favourite film that I've seen six times is O Brother Where Art Thou?, directed by the Coen brothers. The acting is superb, the whole concept is superb, using creatures and storylines from Greek, Roman and folk mythology. The allegories are cleverly hidden within the three main characters. Even though it lasts for almost three hours, I could watch it again right now and see something that I hadn't seen before. It also uses music that I grew up with and I can just get lost in it. MUSIC I'm fixated on Grit Laskin's song My Turn. It's seven minutes long, and it's a story of a man during the Second World War who, because of his political stance as a pacifist, was sent to an internment camp far in the north of Canada where they sent dissidents and Japanese people. He makes a deal with the devil that if he lives for eighty years, he'll have no regrets. In the camp he meets and falls in love with a Japanese woman, but they were shunned by both his and her family. Despite that, they lived together and loved and laughed for 50 years. It's a philosophical song about how at every turn, he is thankful. No regrets, even at the end. It makes me think of my brother, Pete Seeger, and his half-Japanese wife; all of her family were interned during the Second World War – they only let her father out because he was brilliant at decoding. BOOK I listen to audio books while I'm walking or doing my chores. I loved The Hundred Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared, which I would recommend to anyone of any age. I also loved The Covenant of Water. It follows three generations of one family in Kerala, India. It spans almost 100 years of the same family who are plagued by the curse of drowning. I kept wondering where the story was going, but it almost doesn't matter because I learned so much about the history of medicine, the hardships of segregation, the enduring nature of dignity and simple humanity. I won't give you a spoiler, but the ending is stunning. TV The Vicar of Dibley. Without a doubt, it's just a hoot. I watch it again and again on iPlayer as I don't have a television. The whole cast is superb, and Dawn French is wonderful. The opening episode is set in the council of a little town, where they're waiting for a new vicar. In flounces Dawn French, she sits down at the table, and the mayor says, "I'm sorry, that's for the new vicar". And she says, "Well, I'm the vicar. I'm the new vicar." As his face falls, she says, "oh, you didn't expect a woman" and hoisting her considerable breasts up onto the table says, "These do rather give it away." It's wonderful. I'm a creature of habit and I'm happy to watch the same things that I love over and over. I've done it with songs all my life. I sung the same songs over and over and every time I sing them I see something different. GIG When I was about ten, my mother taught me to read orchestral scores. She took me to a classical recital and had obtained the score in advance. Now that score was about fifteen inches high, because it has all the instruments and what they're playing, so we could follow from page to page. My mother whispered, "Now the oboe's coming in, look down there." And so I'd listen for the oboe coming in. We started being 'shushed' by other people in the audience so she just pointed, and we went right through the piece with this score. I've never forgotten that. What an education for a child! So rather than recommending just one concert, I recommend taking children (yours, or other people's) to concerts of all sorts, and helping them to understand what's going on. It's an experience they will never forget and will help them to love music of all sorts. TECH I have two apps on my phone that I use all the time. Picture This is invaluable on my daily walks. You can aim it at a flower, take a photo and it'll tell you what the flower is with all of its possible names. Ewan MacColl, my first life partner, was a flower freak. He taught me so many British flowers and their colloquial names but I tend to forget them now, so it's great to remind myself. The other one I use all the time is the Merlin Bird app. If there's a bird singing in the garden you just turn Merlin on and it tells you what that bird is. I've discovered so many birds that I just didn't know were there as they don't always come to the bird table but hide in the trees and bushes. THE NEXT BIG THING... I'm not sure this is the next big thing, because it's been going for a while, but find a green space that is what has wildlife in it and find ways to preserve it. Treasure the green spaces and defend them. Defend trees, defend rivers. I love the idea of wildflower bombing – where people throw wildflower seed down by lampposts or small patches of unremarkable ground. I send cards that have flowers seeds in them to kids and hope that by encouraging children to grow things they'll find a lifelong joy in watching nature thrive.
