Highly probable that would not have been visible on original airing due to the curved shape of the screen

Halfway through s2 of Lou Grant. The boom operator clearly loved the acting as he makes his presence known repeatedly through every episode.

As two men visit an old lady in hospital, a boom microphone bobs into the top of the frame.

Mum often told me that when she went into labour with me, she refused to leave until the end of ep4 of The Six Wives of Henry VIII (Anne of Cleves, a repeat). Hadn't realised it was the same night Apollo 14 launched. I've seen the command module Kitty Hawk in Florida!

Watched a Play for Today last night - Catchpenny Twist - about two songwriters in Northern Ireland trying to write the next Irish Eurovision winner. It's very "ohhh the Troubles!" kind of miserable but it stars a young Gerald Murphy from Silver Nemesis. Didn't know he was from Newry.

Two weeks ago, I went to Blackpool and had the worst fish n chips ever. Weird orange corn batter and grey chips. Not naming names, as the cod was clearly decent quality but what the Mother did to it was just a crime. I'm still in shock.

Wondering if this is a common thing. I knew about the Queen Victoria statue in Liverpool where it looks like she has a knob, but I recently found another in Bradford. Do any readers know of other knob-endowed Queen Vic statues? #torchwood #willies

My 09.37 train to Liverpool South Parkway was cancelled so I was lucky to get a seat on the 10.07. It's a 45 min trip. At around 10.45, the train was halted just outside Penketh after it hit someone. I don't know how and won't speculate further. We arrived at Liverpool Lime Street at 1.20.

Just finished reading Solace House, the latest novel from my old chum Will Maclean. Beautifully crafted, genuinely unsettling in places. There's a revelation late on that made me gasp and chuckle and marvel at Will's mind.

A painting of a house that ripples away at the bottom.

The new Vue ident is, frankly, disgusting. So much wrongness.

The letters V U and E made out of monstrous misshapen monsters - the V is a corn snack with eyes, covered in cheese. The U is a hotdog with a face at each end. The E is a startled alien.

Watched The Detective (1968) the other night.Okay so Die Hard (1988) is its sequel but the big shocker is how liberal Frank Sinatra is as the lead. Quietly rebuking colleagues for racism / homophobia and stroking the hand of a gay suspect to coax a confession. Felt like a progressive mid 70s film.
