"Warring Factions"
Jeremy Wooding
Jesse Armstrong & Sam Bain
19 September 2003 (2003-09-19)

We are introduced to twenty-something Croydon flatmates Mark: a history-loving office worker who has a crush on his colleague Sophie – and Jez: a lazy, unemployed, would-be musician who lives in the same flat and leeches off him.
The two men are competing to try to become their unhappily married next-door neighbour Toni's fuck buddy. We follow them to a party at Toni's, at which Mark fails in his attempt to seduce her while talking to her about the Battle of Stalingrad. Meanwhile, Jez meets her sister – whom he erroneously believes has leukaemia because she has another sister who has the disease. After this misunderstanding causes an argument, Mark and Jez are told by Toni's husband, Tony, to leave.
During the next day, Mark picks up a metal pole that had been discarded in the street. He uses it to chase away a group of kids who had been harassing and kicking him in the street during the previous night. Sophie is horrified to see this through the window of the bus that she is on.

Jez persuades Mark to join him on a double date with Toni's sister, Paula. However, the dates go badly. Paula tells Jez that she has chlamydia and that he may have infected other women he has had sex with. Mark's date turns out to have a love of history, which leads him to believe that she is "the one". When Mark and Jez return home from a boring play (Lust's Dominion), they find that their flat has been burgled. Next week, Mark and Jez both go out on dates again, but Mark is stood up. Jez dines with Big Suze, but when she tells him that she is no longer with Johnson, Jez decides not to mention the chlamydia. Mark bumps into his date on the way back and invites her to the flat. Upon arrival, he discovers the burglar, stops him and locks him outside on the flat's balcony. However, the burglar rings his friends. When they arrive, Jez lets him out, only for the burglar and his friends to threaten him with burgling the flat again if Jez doesn't give them his television. (One of the burglar's friends, who swears at Mark and calls him "clean shirt" as he walks out with the TV, is the same character – played by the same actor – who confronted Mark in episode 1, series 1 with the same insult.)

text: The National Treasury is one of the departments of the South African government. The Treasury manages national economic policy, prepares the South African government's annual budget and manages the government's finances. Along with the South African Revenue Service and Statistics South Africa, the Treasury falls within the portfolio of the Minister of Finance. Throughout the course of President Jacob Zuma's second administration, the ministry has undergone several changes. Most notably, Nhlanhla Nene was suddenly dismissed on 9 December 2015, without explanation, and replaced with a relatively unknown parliamentary back-bencher from the ruling ANC's caucus, David 'Des' van Rooyen[1] for a record-total of 3 days. He was, in turn, replaced by Pravin Gordhan after the President faced significant pressure from political and business groups over the move.[2] On 30 March 2017 Jacob Zuma axed Pravin Gordhan and appoint Malusi Gigaba as a Finance Minister.[3] Following Zuma's resignation, President Cyril Ramaphosa returned Nhlanhla Nene as Minister in his cabinet reshuffle on 26 February 2018.

text: Bigg Boss (Hindi season 7)

text: House themes

text: The contestants were initially divided into two separate sections of the house, one called "Heaven" and the other "Hell." The "Heaven" side of the house included the pool and considerably more luxuries, while residents of the "Hell" side lacked running water and a kitchen of their own. Inmates in "Hell" were forced to rely on the housemates in the "Heaven" side for food and to use a tap outdoors for water. This was revealed to the housemates on launch night, and entrants Tanishaa and Andy were tasked with dividing them into households.[6]

text: As long as the division lasted, inmates were not permitted to cross the boundaries or, except for food, share items between the two sides. On the 31st day, the "Hell" facility was demolished and all remaining contestants moved to "Heaven."

text: Broadcast

text: The series was first broadcast in India on network Colors beginning 15 September 2013.[7] The series was also broadcast in Pakistan on ARY Digital beginning 21 September 2013[8] and in the United Kingdom on Colors UK on 15 September 2013.[9]
