Gently bingeing ITV’s 1980s Sherlock Holmes adaptations. Just watched The Norwood Builder, where we first meet Inspector Lestrade as portrayed by Colin Jeavons, perhaps the only performer versatile enough to present Play School and also play Adolf Hitler
Four men looking round a door (L–R): uniformed PC, Sherlock Holmes, Inspector Lestrade, Dr Watson. All except Holmes visibly surprised at what they’re seeing in the room, offscreen

The amazing thing about the 80s ITV Holmes is I saw this reply out of context and thought it was about Suede

But what about the other half of the basil
Pizza sauce recipe in a 2005 Guardian supplement, extracted from Jamie Oliver’s Italy

‘For the tomato sauce: 

extra virgin olive oil
1 clove of garlic, peeled and finely sliced
a bunch of fresh basil, leaves picked
1 x 400g tin of good-quality plum tomatoes
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat a saucepan, add a splash of oil and the sliced garlic and cook gently. When the garlic has turned light golden, add half the basil, the tomatoes and a few pinches of salt and pepper. 

Cook gently for about 20 minutes, mashing the tomatoes until smooth, then taste, season again and put to one side.’

Must be loads of these, eg. Most of Herbie Hancock’s work does not sound like Rockit. Early Steve Miller Band is much more interesting than you’d expect if you only know Abracadabra/The Joker. As a big fan of the Boo Radleys up to that point I hate that Wake Up Boo is what everyone knows them for.
