Ah, the lesser-spotted Gill Sans (?) masthead that only lasted about a year and a bit... Always preferred it to its considerably-longer-lived successor 🤔 🤷

Funnily enough I remember that cover illustration, and either my mum or grandmother being rather bemused at first glance as to who the two blokes were supposed to be... Hope the artist isn't reading this, I mean no offence 🤭

Haven't seen a lot of ITV's World Cup coverage yet, but I do hope Peter Purves is popping up and going "Let me enlighten you..." for National Power in every ad break, like he did in Italia '90 ⚽ Remember that one @looksunfamiliar.bsky.social? As parodied by #TheMaryWhitehouseExperience on Radio 1 🤪

Frankly I'm missing Peter Purves popping up and going "Let me enlighten you..." for National Electric or whatever in every ITV break in Italia '90, as memorably parodied by #TheMaryWhitehouseExperience on their Radio 1 show... Remember that one @looksunfamiliar.bsky.social @outonbluesix.bsky.social?

open.substack.com/pub/whydonty... @whydontyoutube.bsky.social Looks like a fantastic bumper binge of stuff from you this sizzling soaraway scorchio of a BH; I have bookmarked much to enjoy later on when I'm lying down in a darkened room with a damp rolled up Radio Times plonked on my forehead 🥵

May have just stumbled onto something extremely rare and significant. Typing Coronation Street 1960 into Shutterstock, they have telesnaps via ITV of what is called Episode 1 of Coronation Street which looks to be the first dry run/pilot episode. This is incredible to see!

Hi @skillagesteve.bsky.social and HNY! You might know this: Which recent-ish radio show - last 10-12 years - had "phone-ins" from a comic impersonating Boy George? Not Phil Cornwell on R1, sure it was Steve Wright in R2 days but maybe someone else entirely! #Mandelaeffect (Maybe one for Creamguide)

@skillagesteve.bsky.social HNY Mr Creamguide, that's a fantastic stat about Gladiators being one of the few shows to have aired on Christmas Day on both "sides" - you've got me racking my brains now! 🤔😆🍾🎉

Not to be confused with Nick Wilton, who later managed the market in Albert Square 😉

@skillagesteve.bsky.social Hi Creamguide 👋 Trying to send an email but it's bounced back - is there a problem with the server? 🤔

Possibly Pope Paul VI. We were at a holiday cottage, so thereafter we'd say that "the Pope died at Holly Cottage"; similarly "John Lennon died on the dining room floor" two years later (by way of reading it in the paper on said floor)

I can't be the only one seeing the resemblance between JD Vance and Greg Hemphill, at least in the right light.

When it was just a combination of the two with neither fully revealed, I thought it was Vladimir Putin 😯
