Well, I think most of the words for the article I've been working on are now written. They're not necessarily in the right order, but they are at least there... 🙂

New! JET STORM (1959) pod.link/1569929507 Me, I'd be quite happy watching a 90-minute film purely in which Harry Secombe and Dame Sybil Thorndike enjoy each other's company on a transatlantic flight. NOT LIKE THAT! But bloody Richard Attenborough only wants to blow it up! With @hwam.bsky.social

I’m still not quite over tuning in for the end of the ODI on Sunday and finding that it had already finished… The autumn is going to feel weird without having heard the last TMS sign off for the England (& Wales) cricketing summer…

Ah, those top 100 lists of the best TV shows I’ve never seen, often never heard of, or gave up on after a smattering of rather disappointing episodes… 😀

Soooo… THREE routes back to New Mills with the roads closed this afternoon, with the fourth announcing that it will be closed on Saturday… 😕 I may never go out again. Genius planning.

I do wish TV ads featuring apparent celebrities would add name captions. Yes, I’m looking at you Ariel man apparently famous for his white t-shirts, Fairy professional baby factory, and Sky TV woman I probably ought to know from something or other…

I’ve just watched THE DOCTOR FALLS for the first time in probably ten years… My god, Capaldi was utterly brilliant, wasn’t he…? Magnificent! 🙂🙂🙂

(It was already a day that began with one of the bottles of our fresh doorstep delivery turning out to be off, and both it and the cereal I’d put it on having to be thrown away…) Small problems, I know, but they don’t half accumulate 🙄

Beloved came downstairs to check on me after she heard me shouting and screaming… …at the hateful AI robot being used by my insurance provider to answer my call. There’d been a car insurance renewal problem email that popped up just moments before I had to leave for an appointment.

Peculiar how often I get home to find a book parcel left on the doorstep, but, for today’s slim volume, I suddenly appeared to not be at home and they’ll have to try again on the next working day 🙄

I’ve spent far too many years mulling over the interpersonal relationships of this annoyingly smug bunch of people (and the camera crew reflected in their sunglasses) whilst I’ve been waiting for treatment. Yesterday it dawned on me that they’re probably all in their fifties by now 😂

I picked up a set of DVDs containing 16 SHARPE films for £1.99 in a charity shop yesterday… Mostly because it contained this…

My dentist apparently retired last week, so I’ve been allocated to a new one. Today’s appointment introduced me to their new AI’s opinion on my x-rays… and the dentist largely disagreeing with it. I think I preferred it when they banged my toothypegs with a stick, to be honest with you… 😕

“Do you see that squirrel…?” I ask, “There! Running down that tree…!” I start to sing: “Running down that tree —- with no nuts to see-ee…” “Is that supposed to be Kate Bushy-tailed?” my Beloved replies.

I’m reminded today that I used to keep hold of my copies of any UK newspapers that marked a moment in time that seemed significant.

After almost 6 years & nearly 300 editions of producing a show that almost no one who isn’t on it seems to care about all that much, it is sometimes tempting to rebrand it as “The Flogging a Dead Horse Hour.” That said, something always seems to come along to keep me interested. New show Sunday 🙂

Well, it may run a little shorter than some editions (which hopefully goes some way to explaining the longer intro) but the next VISION ON SOUND has now been edited together & I can confirm that it is able to go out next Sunday Haigh-Ellery, Hatcher, and Holmes on stage at Quad, Derby last Saturday

One of those days when, despite being very computer literate on the ancient Mac OS I’m still using on my aging desktop setup, I’m handed a Samsung Tablet to try out a new software package I’ve been recommended…
