The Who, on Observer magazine covers from March 1966 & March 1972. The photos by Colin Jones & then Tony McGrath give a sense of how fast pop culture moved in the period. (In the second pic, Entwhistle can be seen trying to restrain Moon from continuing an unprompted attack on McGrath.)

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

I’ve read and admired Mick Herron’s unmatchable ‘Slow Horses’ novels for years, and now I’m re-bingeing them on tv. The characterisation of Jackson Lamb and the others is as good as anything in British spy/crime fiction since the days of Conan Doyle.

ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL The joy-drenched anarchy of Milk & Cheese hit at same time that music became more raw - whether in warehouses in the UK or the rising in Seattle And Eltingville is the brilliant warning about pop culture fandom we should have paid attention to before it infected the internet.

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

This sent me on a search for TV Tops because who wouldn’t want to see an Adam Ant time travel adventure. Found a site that catalogues the covers - you would not believe how much this magazine backed the TV show Fame in 1983 michaelmouse1967.wixsite.com/mag-a-zone/t...

I interviewed Robert Redford when I was producing a TV bio of Morgan Freeman. His office was decorated with Australian daybills of his work, and I noticed BRUBAKER was missing. I bought one off eBay and mailed it to him. He sent me a handwritten thank you note to tell me he’d got it framed. Classy.

A remix of the commission for the excellent @goonpod.bsky.social episode with @bobfischer.bsky.social on Jonathan Miller’s kinda controversial 1966 adaptation of Alice in Wonderland which features Peter Sellers, Wilfrid Bramble and Peter Cook and others.

Birthday card for a friend featuring Dom DeLuise’s iconic Captain Chaos from 1981’s The Cannonball Run. I’ve been looking at old covers of 70’s TV magazine for kids, Look-In - which much have seeped into the brain hence the bold yellow background.

Why is Goodnight Sweetheart not a huge film and/or TV franchise? It’s a perfect concept for a rom-com that could be farmed out to many countries, many time periods. Maybe give Rodney a cameo or have the female leads swap roles halfway through but never explain why. Well, that’s where my head’s at

Thunderbird 2’s launch sequence, by Graham Bleatham, who, as always, makes the absurd feel rational without ever diminishing the essential silliness of it all. On the one hand, he inspires the thought “oh that’s how it done”. But he never obscures the out-there source material. It’s a rare gift.

I read chapter one of SUMMER GRASS, WINTER WORM & it was a DELIGHT. Edie Dollarchive's cartooning has it all: Fun characters, charm, great layouts, a sense of place, &a point of view. The surface polish develops as the strip progresses, but the voice is there from panel one. Go, read! grassworm.net
