More important than any of it though is what fantastic role models of masculinity Keith and Rich are. Their love for what they do is infectious and the emotion it brings out in them is joyous. (And Liza is just a phenomenon!)

But if you watched the whole thing then I think it’s fair to say we all won. And it’s so cool to have all the stuff we made. Look forward to it being handed down to bamboozled descendants!

(Spoilers) So lovely to have this memento of an important year in my life and of this whole pottery experience. The friendship with all of them but Fatiha especially was prize enough for me. Layton was a worthy winner

Hello Andrew @helloandrew.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
There's always interesting new things to learn from @herring1967.bsky.social at youtube.com/@herring1967... This week I learned that SPC stands for Sky Potatoes Corporation, or something like that. All this time I thought it stood for Serious Puppet Channel.

Common thought. R Osman has a lot to say about that. But I think it would be considerably worse and not a satisfying watch

I don't know. Feels like a lifetime ago to me! Chat at the Apple `store. They didn't pay us (definitely not me anyway) or give us a free ipod or anything. Still fun to chat to both the original Pointless guys!

He’s not that smart. And there was a chance he wasn’t a traitor. About the same odds.

If I was the person with the spreadsheet I would point that out (even if I was now a traitor)

If I ever go on traitors I am going to insist my night time shot is me in the shower. (Maybe with an abacus)

I’m actually “interviewing” him again next week. Not for the podcast (unless they let me put it out) but another event! Can’t wait!

He never saw the video. I think maybe his PR people worried it might impact his chances of being a star. Think he’d made some comment about someone who had been dropped from the film he’d just done in another interview. But then why let him do this one at all?

Richard Herring @herring1967.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
It came to me one moment before I said it. Delightfully risky joke. How would he take it. Huge laugh from audience and he agreed that it was true! He was so good on the podcast. I still don’t understand what the problem actually was. One day you’ll get to hear it.

Richard Herring @herring1967.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
The joke was about him acting all giddy and excited to be nominated and then some of the press saying this was a tactic to make him win. He confirmed this was annoying and not true. I said “yes, I mean if you were that good an actor you’d have won the Oscar!”

From Pop Bitch today. Not sure that that joke was the reason for the embargo- he did laugh at the time - but I did warn them that if they refused to put anything out the story would run and run

I think he would lose his character if restored to his prime. Richard Ison did a great job of keeping him in shape without losing his world-worn appearance (a few years back)

Would occasionally hear the end of conversations with viewer and estate agent on Ring doorbell and heard the agent basically talking very enthusiastic couple out of purchase.
