Here's something: Dennis Potter's rarely seen Play for Today from 1974, Schmoedipus, will be repeated on BBC Four on Wednesday 7th October at 10pm. It's their tribute to Tim Curry, who stars alongside Anna Cropper and Bob Hoskins. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

I have this suspicion that the only reason trump wants a united Ireland is because it sounds more like the United States, not because he understands one iota of the context involved.

The visual effects designer on #PendasFen was Bernard Lodge, who worked on the first five Doctor Who title sequences. The Angel here appears in a form of slit-scan mix. Around this time Lodge used the same technique for his updated Season 11 titles with Jon Pertwee.

The Angel emerges from behind the Malvern Hills.

Still from the season 11 title sequence for Doctor Who, showing Jon Pertwee in the time vortex.

REMINDER: Penda's Fen is on BBC4 tonight at 1015pm. My favourite little folk horror curiosity.

Just so we are clear: The 83yo priest on the left is a terrorist. The balaclava-clad men on the right are protestors with legitimate concerns

If you want to see real “two tier policing” look at the unwillingness to use any kind of force against fascists and how much they love unleashing it on pensioners holding signs opposing genocide.

They can build a train station to accommodate a golf tournament, they can do up the roads around a hotel owned by a fascist paedo(and pay 500 Gardaí for his protection) to accommodate another golf tournament. But if you're using the bus to get to work you can go fuck yourself. Great little country

Let's be having you on sextidi 16 Fructidor in the year of the Republic CCXXXIV. I had today earmarked for the celebration of gaffer tape, holding it all together. It's only proper gaffer tape if it's non light reflecting. But then I remembered this fantastic flow chart, so have a twofer with WD-40.

A very, very good reason to love Canada - in the twilight of his career, they hired Buster Keaton to drive a one-man rail maintenance vehicle from the East Coast right across to the West Coast, and gave us this 25 minute treasure. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYmc...

In the new Radio Times... Screening 9 September on BBC Four.

DRAMA
Penda’s Fen 10.15pm BBC Four Catch up via iPlayer
In his last summer before adulthood, the priggish
son of a village parson has his certainties on faith,
politics and sexuality disturbed by homoerotic
visions, as well as by supernatural apparitions that
include pagan king Penda and even Edward Elgar.
A pastoral chiller suffused with eerie imagery
and Elgar’s music, this BBC Play for Today from 1974
was filmed on the composer’s home turf near
the Malvern Hills. Written by David Rudkin
and directed by the great Alan Clarke,
Penda’s Fen soon became a cult classic
and has been hailed as a masterpiece.
It has warranted sporadic repeats,
cinema screenings, a Blu-ray release
by the BFI and, last year, a scene-byscene analysis from Ten Acre Books.
Spencer Banks, who played troubled
teen Stephen and was then best known
for the ITV kids’ drama Timeslip,
introduces tonight’s revisit at
10.00pm. PATRICK MULKERN

What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”
