Whoop whoop! Genuinely pleased to hear Shaun Keaveny will have a new show back on Radio 6. I was briefly feeling very tense when Lauren Laverne said a 6 legend was returning

I don't know whether it's right the first thing I should think of on learning it's James Whitmore's birthday is him singing "Brush Up Your Shakespeare" along with Keenan Wynn in Kiss Me Kate, but that's immediately what sprang to mind. youtu.be/u8Zzl_HH4XQ

Here to tell you that the chemistry and tension in this scene still hits for 2026 teenagers, as evidenced by the very vocal reactions of my students today

Just watched a clip on insta of Bing Crosby in a pub in 1977, listing the things he loves about England. They are: Horse racing Golf Shooting Cab drivers "The civility" Half way through he does a little burp. All the comments are "💔💔 It's all gone now Mr Crosby!! You wouldn't recognise it"

It took me so long to watch this, as in my mind it's so close to Lombard's death that it seemed too sad. In the end I saw it in NFT1 a couple of years ago and cried instead at how beautifully funny and brave it was, confronting the horror of a war that was still raging, with the outcome unknown

I see a future where, in a fit of W1A style twee, a couple of new London stations will be named Morecambe and Wise. The improvement in transport will cause a new town to grow around one of them, which will come to be named Morecambe, after the station, after the man, who named himself after the town

Eine schöne Bastel- und Malarbeit. Manchmal trägt Obelix den Hinkelstein. Manchmal ist Obelix der Hinkelstein. Dürfte nicht leicht gewesen sein, diesen Stein zu finden. #Asterix #Fanart

Das Bild zeigt einen kleinen, länglichen und nach oben abgerundeten Stein, dessen Form an einen Hinkelstein erinnert. Der Stein wurde rundherum so bemalt, dass er selbst zum Körper von Obelix wird.
Auf der Vorderseite sind Obelix’ Gesicht mit den roten Zöpfen, sein nackter Oberkörper sowie der grüne Gürtel mit großer gelber Schnalle zu sehen. Darunter setzt sich seine typische blau-weiß gestreifte Hose bis zum unteren Rand des Steins fort. Seine Füße stehen auf einer kleinen grünen Wiese, die mit roten Pilzen und Blumen verziert ist. Der obere, dunkelgraue Teil des Steins bleibt weitgehend unbemalt und wirkt dadurch wie ein Hinkelstein, der hinter Obelix aufragt.
Die Rückseite löst den kleinen optischen Scherz auf: Dort fehlen Kopf und Oberkörper völlig. Stattdessen sieht man nur Obelix’ Arme, die sich von beiden Seiten um den grauen Stein legen. Seine Hände greifen hinter dem „Hinkelstein“ ineinander. Darunter sind wiederum die gestreifte Hose und seine Füße auf der Wiese zu erkennen.

I'm pretty sure I revealed during this date that I thought Kramer vs Kramer was a horror film in which John Lithgow plays his own evil twin. He gently let me know I'm wrong, the film is not about that and John Lithgow isn't even in it
