In the consumer TV show, That's Life, Doc Cox was a co-presenter. His alter ego was Ivor Biggun. I wonder how he got that job considering his scatological, smutty music career. It'd be like if BBC's Watchdog hired K**t & The Gang to perform cheeky songs at people in Fulham North End Road market too.

Already seen the script. No spoilers, but: Shagging, incredulous top brass, pisspoor innuendo, jaunty naval choir rendition of theme.

I volunteered for Childline for a decade at uni and I know firsthand a snapshot of how many lives Esther Rantzen changed. Her later years were known for assisted dying but her legacy will be giving vulnerable children someone to listen to and care. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Rantzen announced lung cancer diagnosis in 2023 and became a vocal assisted dying campaigner

That said, we also got Doc Cox/Ivor Biggun as well, so it really is a balancing act Also gave us one of the great Not The Nine O Clock News bits youtu.be/h2QZprRgxDc?...

Reg Varney (Stan Butler) died at 92yo in 2008 Stephen Lewis (Blakey) died at 88yo in 2015. Between 1969-1973 both were in On the Buses. Reg was 53, Stephen was 43 (approx my age). Both would have been in WW2, seen the coronation AND a bit of Babestation, tried a Zinger burger and MAYBE an iPhone

Stan and Blakey from the LWT sitcom On the Buses

My sole engagement with the World Cup this year was hearing the name Kylian Mbappé and repeating it to myself in the voice of Donald Sinden. It was immensely satisfying. I found myself doing it a lot.

Can we appreciate how George Fouracres has now nailed impressions of both Starmer (playing him as Zippy off of Rainbow); and now Burnham’s cheeky northern ‘hey hey! We’re all here, aren’t we?’ schtick.

Genuinely knew right away this was a big ‘un. The FUUUCK when I popped the bone back in position could have wakened the dead, except - and this is true - it would have been drowned out by the noise of a nearby circus.

Thank you for all your kind words, folks, means a lot. What an absolute shitter. Good news is that the bike is in good nick (thanks to the lovely family who helped me and looked after me when I was on the deck, and took the bike in too).

Every time someone links to this film, I have to repost it. It's one of the most significant bits of British 20th century art. Everything about it is incredible. Groundbreaking music production by Daphne Oram. Amazing camera work by Wolfgang Suschitzky (who later filmed Get Carter).-
