My Archive on Four doc on The Big Lebowski is getting a repeat over the festive period Dec 29 find it on BBC Sounds "THE CULT OF LEBOWSKI." Presented by Helen O'Hara it does include this BBC Radio 4 compliance note for the ages. With added @gralefrit.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Take a look at this from Private Eye. Might be just me but I think Newsjack had the blanket advisory: "Please don't do this joke we receive it 40+ times a week." Amazing to do the double with it here. Pope AND the bear in the woods.

CHRISTMAS FACT: Since the start of the century ‘Merry Christmas Everyone’ by Shakin' Stevens has amassed 18 million seconds of radio and TV airplay, the equivalent of over half a year of continuous broadcast. More than 86,000 plays. Lots of cash for his ongoing house renovation.

I've written a blog about my audio adaptation of Dickens' The Cricket On The Hearth, available now from @averageromp.bsky.social: eddierobson.wordpress.com/2025/12/12/t...

PLURIBUS I DON'T NEED TO SEE THEM FILLING THE SUPERMARKET

Tim Davie once mooched up to me in the office and asked what I was working on. Always liked him. Wandering around with no assistants. Interested in programmes.

Just seen someone accuse Ben Elton of making his autobiography "all about him".

I'd question Jimmy Mulville describing this as a low level error. It's heinously shit journalism and shouldn't have been aired. false claim about Euan Blair blamed on young producers ‘marinated in social media’ | Have I Got News for You | The Guardian share.google/T4xXWglNuIP0...

Spot the nod to the insanity that is @dontlikeyourtie.bsky.social by myself and @kipsaunders.bsky.social

The Guardian has a go at Ben Elton for mentioning in his new autobiography that George Harrison thanked him for "making us laugh in the '80s". Why would you possibly leave this out? There are Beatle nerds now ready to write theses on the fact that George watched Blackadder.

Ah I met Menzies Campbell as a newspaper reporter visting in a school. He asked if I worked for the school magazine. I was 33.

If I see one more bit of this wedding in Andor 2 I'm out I'm three episodes in and now a comedy mum has arrived my God

The great thing about going through multiple eye surgeries is it really takes the stress out of going to the dentist. 👍

So @2000ad.bsky.social 2450 is a Jumping On point issue with a few cool new stories, one of which is ep.1 of my JUDGE DREDD: AND TO THE SEA RETURN which has @henryflint.bsky.social doing comics things like this (this is just PG 1). Join us for the horror.

I've got a new radio series out! THE FORT. On BBC Sounds and weekdays Radio 4. If you can give the first episode a go please do. No presenter. Just remarkable people in an extraordinary situation. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

How it Started. How it Finished.

What's Blue sky angry with today? Ah. It's Michael Palin.

BASTARDS

OH WHAT

Can you IMAGINE living in an area that MIGHT be affected by a Tsunami and thinking "I know, I'll make a decision based on what grok and Chat GPT says."

If Marty McFly did his 30 year time jump now he'd be waaaay back in 1995 when Blur released The Great Escape.

TV now is mad, this is how I'm finding out there are new series of things I'm into.

Cowards. Give him the MasterChef job.

My Oasis observation is that Liam has realised you can't sustain a career as a singer with your mic at that angle.

JFC I used to work for Reach. I mean it might be AI but these outlets are doomed.

New fees announcement.

Pick a trouser. Show me the kind of man you are.

I love how a decade of reinventing TV later we’ve ended up with “Brits just want to watch old ITV dramas and Channel 5 documentaries but they don’t know where to find them until you let them just hit the big Netflix button on their remote”.

"AI offers unprecedented opportunities to tackle neurological conditions and currently incurable cancers. But this will be impossible unless you grant us free access to the series of werewolf novels you wrote in 1998."

The dream here is a particular shirt number. God I used to work for Reach. I can't imagine the work environment of "Try to come up with something misleading that makes it looks like the deal is off." An absolute death spiral of readers binning you.

I used to work at CBeebies and if your kids watch other kids streaming on You Tube, they're mainly watching rich kids getting presents.

Kickstart my space horror cat film?

You call a reporter or writer a "content creator" and you get what you deserve.

Absolutely this. Strange the idea that education is an emergency service.
