I'm listening to Death Comes To Time for the first time. It's... different... isn't it?

Mark Faulkner @markfaulkner24.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Ok, I might have been a bit hasty to judge the new Fat Dog album. While there are slower tracks, there are also a good few trademark smashers. But I maintain for the time being that Adult DVD are this year's Fat Dog. #DownWithTheKidz

Niche Brighton graffiti, and if I'm honest, not one of Banksy's finest.

I have always loved Alexei Sayle's Stuff from the day it was first transmitted. Currently on a rewatch I can't help thinking that for all its 'alternative comedy' just how... Pythonesque it all is.

All three series of Alexei Sayle's Stuff on DVD. I'm simpering because years ago I bought each series for about a fiver and then gave them away. Still, at least I know now I've got a little nest egg if I decide to sell them again.

Album of the moment by Adult DVD. A heady mix of (early) Prodigy, Blur, Happy Mondays, Hi NRG, Underworld. Noice.

I couldn't wait, so have bought them instead (series 2 is in the post).

This sums up almost everything I felt about 70 UP - especially Jackie. I could watch her having a go at Michael Apted (and then speaking warmly of him years later, because people are not one thing) all day

#musicchallenge #ShallWeDance2026 Continuing yesterday's theme of "pulsating synth-punk": Running - Fat Dog youtu.be/p4SlLy94ZKg?... If moshing is an invitation to dance, this band could start one in a space the size of a telephone box. Some of the craziest scenes I've seen at a live gig.

#musicchallenge #ShallWeDance2026 Real Tree Lee - Adult DVD youtu.be/J8fd8_OeOaY?... A new band whose debut album is out today. With their "pulsating synth-punk" delivering an "intense musical workout", I'm looking forward to bopping along when I see them live next month. (I'm 53 now, I only bop)

Has anyone actually found a list of cinemas Doctor Who The Satan Pit is playing at, as it's not on the website.

Anyone who sees this and cannot join the dots between the end of the BBC and the end of the UK’s world renowned TV industry… frankly, I despair… We need change, yes. We need to get good at making low budget risky TV again, absolutely. But axe it and say goodbye to anything but mid Atlantic dross.

I saw someone on here say BBC Four should repeat Alexei Sayles' Stuff (which I would welcome as the DVDs are extortionate in price).

This is exactly the sort of thing BBC Four is for.

I'm 53 this week, and while I'm skeptical about AI, there's no denying that technologically we also live in 'interesting times'. My main worry is how long I'll have to keep working for! When people ask when am I going to retire, I 'jokingly' say not for another thirty years yet!

#70Up has made me reflective. Am I alive at the best time? Given my cultural interests I always thought I should've been born in the 60s, not 70s. But I've been around to experience Beatles, Bowie, Python, Doctor Who, Milligan, Pinter, Alan Bennett while they've been active, so I've not done too bad

Missed a trick by not bringing it full circle and having a load of 70 year olds running amok on a building site! #70Up

After last week's episode I felt exactly the same. Given what's happened in the last seven years globally, I can't believe none of this was touched upon during interviews.
