I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten. I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then. Amongst other things, I do an ABBA podcast: www.buzzsprout.com/2265600/share

I have a strange fondness for The Motion Picture and feel quite protective about it. But yes, The Undiscovered Country is the best of the original six.

Another fine, fine piece of writing, and especially recommended if you a) like music, and b) have felt rain-starved in the last few months. [small print: I’m thrilled to see my suggestion of B*Witched made the cut]

Another spectacular job from DPD.

One of my favourite moments at the Christmas shows was Ronnie Golden and Barry Cryer singing PEACE AND QUIET - a rather epic ending to that song m.youtube.com/watch?v=UA6g...

Really sad about Stephanie Cole. She shone in Ed Reardon’s Week and was terrific as Carolyn in Cabin Pressure. And her turn as a potty-mouthed pensioner in @mikewozniak.bsky.social ‘s St Elwick’s Neighbourhood Association Newsletter Podcast is an absolute joy.

Another great post. I grew up near some USAF base houses and one of the servicemen had a Pulsar that he’d had shipped over for his tour of duty over here. It was thrillingly exotic.

I always remember a great line in the radio episode set in a small business. Roy is doing a vox pop of employees and one says to him: “We’re just like one big family here really. See that man over there with the bald head?… I hate him.”

Six months since moving day. Fuck me sideways, the previous 18 months was stressful - and I’ve got a weird PTSD from it - but it was oh so worth it.
