Camp old nonsense, vintage telly, wide ranging music tastes, centre-left politics. Brought to you by a middle aged middle class gay who responds well to snacks.

How many other more Hitchcock stars remain? Vera Miles, Julie Andrews, are there many more top-line actors from his films?

Splendid woman. A great career and a fantastically long life.

Yep. That’s the way it goes. Look at the state of Corbyn’s current party, shouting and blaming each other for everything while also being subtly (or unsubtly) anti a lot of stuff. I think they’re known as “tankies”. Anyhow, they’re rancid.

Things will only get worse. You may want to reword your bio, encouraging people to vote Green/Polanski.

The greatest mainstream example of this has got to be Only Fools and Horses. Always leave the people wanting more.

Newthy is the first gay character I remember on tv. I think they sling that warning in everything now, just to be careful. At least, that’s the only reason in God’s Earth I can think of for something as innocuous as this to be given a trigger warning.

The episode is a minute short. Don’t forget to start with a zero for overseas.

Corking #Crossroads tonight. Meg’s back in Venice (now gone for good), Alison’s back, Miss Tatum glimpsed, Sandy mentioned, Sharon’s life changing, scenes in a real “special school” with real kids and teachers, Mavis yelps at Sid in a churchyard. #vintagetv #classictv @crossroadsmotel.bsky.social
Kath and Miss Tatum at Adam and Jill’s wedding Mavis on her way to the wedding Sharon sees a new life ahead Alison and Benny reunited ♥️

Diane dialed a 14 digit phone number on a rotary telephone tonight. If she can do it, Jill can.

Jill gets an internal monologue thing just before her wedding wishing mum and Sandy were there. It’s not like she hadn’t got her mum’s phone number.

I stayed with Labour under Corbyn. Only turned up to stuff with key votes, otherwise content to leave the nutjobs to shout at each other rather than at me. They ate each other alive in the end, as loonies always do. Even Your Party can’t be pure enough for them. Shame about the Greens though.

It’s been clear for a while that a chunk of the Green membership is far more interested in Gaza and trans than in green stuff.

I read something about the vote on this being online, and a couple of hundred members resigned their membership immediately after. Classic entryism. Brings back memories., eh?!

I was Chair of my local Labour Party when the Corbyn lot arrived, and what’s happened to the Greens here seems unpleasantly familiar

One of my fave tv stories, the first one I got on VHS, and it’s got to be the best Target cover. I mean.. who wouldn’t want a book with that cover art?!

Thrilled to be at #LPC26 with brilliant @communityunion.bsky.social Andy Burnham’s speech brought a tear to the eye. Inspiring and honest. Hope again. National Care Service could change so many lives

I wasn’t mad on the cartoon of Fury. Amongst other things it makes the kitchen absolutely MASSIVE.

12% of teachers leave teaching each year. I’m sure my teacher mates, and ex-teacher mates, can understand. #CommunityUnion is launching a new campaign about teacher retention. Please share. youtu.be/7_xPr8pd2Fo?...
