Seeing as its now banned, and we have it on a VHS from a 2000 repeat, I watched Princess Diana's Panorama interview as it was shown 30 years ago tonight. Extraordinary to watch, especially given the appalling circumstances it came about. Nearly 23 million people watched it.

In 3 weeks time, it's Coronation Street's 65th anniversary, and to mark their Sapphire Jubilee, I wanted to do a countdown of my 65 favourite characters. It was a joy to put this together! 🧱🍺🐈 #Corrie #Corrie65 #Corrie65Countdown

Delighted by a spoiler for a certain BBC One big entertainment show.

The Emmerdale Rewind account finally got around to uploading Michael and Eric's fight. Eric head-butting Michael was cut from the ITV3 showing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IATi...

Sometimes I think Betty from Corrie was the serial killer they never had. The amount of times she flounced out of the Rovers in a huff, when she could've done someone in, or countless opportunities to poison someone's hotpot she didn't like.

Declan Rice, John Stones and Jordan Pickford playing tonight in the England game 🤤🤤🤤

Before and after. Baked my Christmas cake today and it was a success!

Tom Hiddleston is still filth 🤤 Gorgeous, gorgeous man. Can't wait for new Night Manager next year. Better get his kit off.

The live versions of A Sky of Honey from Kate Bush's Before the Dawn are really just something else. The original album is so lush sounding, but the live versions give it an extra dimension. How lucky was I to see it in person. Tree crashing through the piano and all!

I'm reminded that London Spy was shown 10 (!) years ago today, and my mind instantly goes back to that scene with Ben Whishaw and Edward Holcroft. Hot isn't the word. 🥵

I think its a Jonathan Bailey kind of day

Carla has been utterly ruined by the Swarla nonsense. Sick of them, and they are dragging the show down. #corrie

Never mind the Mona Lisa, hang this in the Louvre. SO iconic! #CelebrityTraitors

The episode #thetraitors

Another icon has gone. RIP Pauline Collins. So sad to hear she's died, an absolutely wonderful actress.

Lovely interview with Ruth Holden.

On this day in 2016 vs yesterday. What a difference 9 years make.

I can't stop laughing at this passage from Telstar Records Wikipedia: "Telstar Records went bankrupt in 2004, largely due to the company's habit of giving large advances to artists such as Claire Sweeney and Victoria Beckham who failed to make them any money".

Watched all of Girlbands Forever and I really enjoyed it. So much stuff about Eternal, All Saints, Mis-Teeq and Atomic Kitten I had no idea about.

Fans of a certain Corrie couple on Twitter/X/whatever are absolute lunatics. Jesus christ, they need certifying.

Not happy with Alan murdering Miss Babs 😭 #CelebrityTraitors

Air miles Andy is toast. I was quite shocked by that statement.

Wish I could be like Vicki Michelle who seemingly has her picture taken with every British celebrity dead or alive.

Will never not be obsessed with Pat Phoenix's spirit coming through to Julie Goodyear on I'm Famous and Frightened, and her telling Julie to never stop smoking 😂

Such sad news, RIP Tony Adams.

Really loved the Hollyoaks/Brookside crossover on Wednesday. And yes, this is an excuse to post pictures of Philip Olivier, who was my awakening all those years ago...

Treated myself to Queen Christina on Blu-ray. Part of Garbo's quartet for me along with Flesh and the Devil, Camille and Ninotchka. Going to keep it for Christmas.

It’s here, guy! Cannot WAIT to read @kathyburke.bsky.social’s autobiography 😍

Yes, I've chosen my top ten Keeping Up Appearances episodes in the style of Hyacinth's candlelight supper invitation.

Declan Rice looking incredible 🥵

Prince Andrew, sashay away. Pig.

The very gorgeous Andrew Hayden Smith in tonight’s #Corrie 😍

The photos of Thom Evans in Dieux Du Stade still live in my head rent free.

Lewis Cope looked so fit on #Strictly tonight. So peachy in the tight trousers.

Queen Celia Imrie 👑 #CelebrityTraitors

#Corrie can do it, when they want to. That scene with Kevin and Sally was lovely.

Kate Bush's Eat the Music is absolutely filthy when you look at the lyrics 😁 Love the song though, great to dance to.

My top five Keeping Up Appearances episodes: 1) Sea Fever 2) What to Wear When Yachting 3) How to Go on Holiday Without Really Trying 4) Country Retreat 5) The Three Piece Suite

New on The Noise of Art… Meeting Patricia Routledge Following the passing of the grand dame of British stage and TV, an archive piece from 2007 when the star of Keeping Up Appearances was touring in an Alan Bennett double bill. open.substack.com/pub/neilcoop...

Declan Rice is peachyyyy 🍑

Getting a lot of new followers on Twitter/X/Whatever who are extreme right and transphobic. Great thing is I'm taking delight in removing them one by one 😁 Awful people. If they aren't bots, and are real, you can tell their views by the profile picture and handle.

I've got a lovely Funny Women documentary on Patricia Routledge, taped from BBC Two years ago, and I would love it to be repeated as it's a great look back on her career.

Kitty and Hyacinth. Two of the best comic creations.

Oh god, the Mail Online has screenshotted my tweet in their Patricia Routledge story.

In memoriam...

Dame Patricia Routledge could do it all. Expert comedienne, superb dramatic actress, accomplished singer and performer, but above all, a wonderful, wise and captivating person. We have lost a remarkable woman, and a true national treasure.

Good morning to peachy Luke Shaw 🍑

Keeping Up Appearances outtakes.

The preview for the Pillion film with Harry Melling and Alexander Skarsgård - oh my LORD. Gagging for it to come out.

Now there's something groovy and good 'bout whatever we got. Jackie Brambles! 'Cause you're getting better!
