TikTok – with many confessing they were put off the fruit for life.In the clip, uploaded by user @bugboy19, he is standing next to a crate of bananas that appears to be the temporary home of a creepy-crawly.Long black antennae are sticking out and, when the person zooms in, you can see the scorpion resting on top of one of the bunches of yellow fruit.The TikToker then picks up the bug and holds it under the camera, revealing it is dark brown and has six legs and a pair of powerful pinchers.He then puts the bug back on the bananas and weighs them, before paying for them at the self-service check out with the creature still on board as a stowaway.It's then carried home in a plastic shopping bag along with the bananas, presumably to live in captivity as part of the TikToker's impressive collection of exotic pets.The bug was identified by viewers as a whip scorpion, a fairly popular pet, and it seems unlikely it found its way onto the bananas without help."I love checking the new bananas for friends," said the TikToker in the caption of the video which has since been watched 1.5million times.One user commented: "Nope, nope, nope, nope. Don't want Bananas anymore.""That would have been the last time I showed up to buy bananas," admitted a second viewer, obviously not a fan of whip scorpions.A third commented: "The way you just weighed it with the bananas.""Yano...

Carol and Sally seemed particularly happy to see each other as they appeared to be laughing whilst the picture was taken, a point their co-star noted in the caption.Dan wrote: “I’m not entirely sure what Carol said to Sally here, but it was lovely to have her in the BBC Breakfast studio this morning.”The trio were snapped together on the famous red BBC Breakfast sofa, with a projected background of the London skyline.Dan sat beside his colleagues, dressed in a dapper blue suit and matching tie, clasping his hands in front of him as he sat with his arms on his knees.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic“Lovecraft Country,” a new drama on HBO, begins with a scene of degradation; soldier Atticus Freeman (Jonathan Majors) emerges from a foxhole to see a winged, tentacled creature flying overhead. Another fantastical monster is destroyed by Jackie Robinson, then reconstitutes itself to devour the pathbreaking baseball player when Atticus wakes up from this dream in the back seat of a segregated bus.

Lovecraft Country? So were we and after watching the first five episodes from showrunner Misha Green (Underground) and executive producers Jordan Peele and JJ Abrams, we’re all in for this sci-fi horror’s loopy ride.Based on Matt Ruff’s novel of the same name, the storyline can be described as Stranger Things set in Jim Crow America. The show bounces back and forth between fighting real world threats like “sundown towns” and segregated neighborhoods of the 1950s to battling ghosts in haunted houses and extraordinary fictional creatures like shoggoths, a tentacled monster featured in the works of fantasy writer H.P.

After a relatively slow July, August is taking a similar route with a much smaller number of shows debuting than we are used to in 2020. That said, there’s still plenty of options, especially if you’re spending time also trying to catch up on this year’s Emmy nominations (might I suggest binging “What We Do in the Shadows” if you’re to pick just one to catch up to?).
