If the Hokey Cokey was, essentially, what it was all about, then I'd be fine with that. It's enough. #totp

All Hallmark Christmas movies could be improved TENFOLD by a scene where Bill Murray is viciously attacked by a fairy holding a toaster.

Absolutely delighted with this chat I had with @gracedent.bsky.social about Bagpuss. It took us both back to early childhood and I had no idea it was going to get so deep and profound. A truly great show and a great person to talk about it with. timworthington.org/2024/12/04/t...

Ask yourself, would your life be better, or worse, with a trifle butler? That's a butler who erects trifles, of course. This week's restaurant is The Georgian at Harrods. www.theguardian.com/food/2024/de...

I was searching Sounds for some radio comedy and happened upon Arthur Lowe reading The Diary of a Nobody. Hard to imagine a better match of actor and text; he's so funny and expressive (and will make you nostalgic for his Mr Men narrations if you ever got to hear those) www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/serie...

Astonishing to remember that the Max Headroom Broadcast Signal Intrusion from 1987 is still a gigantic mystery. Simultaneously hilarious and terrifying and I would love to know who it was, how they did it and how they got away with it. And why. timworthington.org/2021/12/25/l...

If you’re in Hay On Wye today - Saturday - I’m appearing at 11.30am the book festival talking about comfort food. I’m in conversation with Oliver Bullough who is *checks notes* an eminent speaker on Russian Geopolitics. Strange. But as Sting said ‘The Russians love their Potato Waffles too’

I remain obsessed by how much this publicity photo from Spaced looks like every British Xennial's First Houseshare Photo. The poses! The sofa! THE LITTLE BAMBOO TABLE FOR THE LANDLINE WITH SPACE BENEATH FOR THE YELLOW PAGES.

A photo from the millennial sitcom Spaced. 6 people are sharing a tattered greyish 2 person sofa, sitting on each other, arms around each other, smiling. There is a dog and a little bamboo table for the landline phone.

Podcast I like: low fi nerdy pods recorded in bedrooms where friends chat, but without too much pointless laughing that one can become parasocially over invested in. Ideas?

I loved the milk chocolate miniatures and had a red mini vending machine as a kid that you put 10 chocs in then put 2p in the slot to get one out. Very convoluted way to get to eat them but I loved it!
