My friend Maria was walking through Islington today when she came across a funeral being held in the Little Angel Puppet Theatre. The coffin was a rainbow wicker one. Which sounds exactly what Zippy's guvnor would have wanted.

A red Routemaster, its bus rolls customised to read ‘Ronnie Le Drew R.I.P. 1947-2026’.

RIP Richard O’Sullivan - a great comedy actor, and no slouch as a composer…

Walking alongside John McCririck sitting on a bench at Leeds Station platform 12 - he looked up at me from his paper and I embarrassingly simpered “Hiiii…” and he looked down again.

Christmas Eve. The Likely Lads. Gavin has cleverly arranged this so it incorporates the different versions used across the TV and radio series, and so it lasts for longer than the original 30 seconds.

Day 22. Television. Sung by musical star Adele Dixon on 2 November 1936 for the formal opening of BBC Television. She was appearing in Over She Goes at the Saville Theatre at the time. On that day, her role on stage was taken by Gilly Flower, later to find renewed fame as Miss Tibbs in Fawlty Towers

Day 21. Following a brief spot of public paranoia that television sets could be used to look into viewers’ homes, the BBC kicked off their experimental broadcasts to Olympia in the summer of 1936 with a song cunningly titled “Here’s Looking At You.”

Day 20. How did you spend the first lockdown? I attempted to recreate the theme to Doctor Who using techniques as close as possible to those employed by the great Delia Derbyshire. A bold experiment. The secret ingredient is a 4-speed analogue tape recorder which has a usefully springy brake.
