carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 22/09/2026A massive 'Thank you' to everyone who took part in #70up over the decades. I wasnt tearing up tonight until Jacquie lost it at the end. Being 70 myself, I can identify with them all, I want to give them all a big hug. @ITVX @ITV We need a show for each person's life now. 1111
carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 15/09/2026@70up @ITV Its interesting to see how many of the 70yrolds don't seem to be enjoying retirement. Unlike me, I love my life at 70. Music, reading, the sea and friends are enough for me. Watching this show helps me see where I fit in and what changes my generation has lived through 000

carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I love watching 'A House Through Time' with @davidolusoga.bsky.social on bbc It is always fascinating to see history played out through the lives of local people. Edinburgh looks majestic. If only history lessons at school had been this interesting. Excited to see all episodes. 020

carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 19/07/2026What did I think of 'The Odyssey?' I am getting so old that I couldn't remember much from school but it didnt matter. Nolan's film is entertaining. Its not as great as all the hype but an epic nonetheless. Highlights: Samantha Morton as Circe & evil Robert Pattinson's Antinous. 100
