Blackcurrant Lemsip in my One Man & His Dog mug. I have entered the arena of the unwell. #bollocks

“Tonight’s main story: my outfit looks like a penis and testicles, doing a piss. More at 6.”

Here’s some sweet telly nectar for you- Arthur Lowe as seen in the closing titles of Dad’s Army and Arthur Lowe marching next to the track the camera moved along actually filming said titles!

This is a silver print entitled ‘King Lear Allotting his Kingdom to His Three Daughters’ taken by Julia Cameron in 1872. Charles Cameron (her husband) as Lear, and the Liddell sisters, including Alice of “in Wonderland” fame who is posing on the right as Cordelia.

Two photo-calls, 46 years ago today. Jon Pertwee and Una Stubbs advertised the new series of Worzel Gummidge at Trafalgar Square whilst Josette Simon and Steven Pacey drew attention to the new series of Blakes’ 7 in the car park ‘round the back of the BBC rehearsal rooms in Acton.

Mad week. Released the new podcast, directed a show with the Bonzo Dogs, worked on that with Flip Webster (big influence on young me), the podcast went to Number 1, spent a lovely morning teaching & now I am rather goosed and ready for Christmas. I am full of gratitude and very happy.

Well worth a follow, in my humble opinion. Especially if you like your classic #DoctorWho…

Fans of #DoctorWho may want to give this a follow…

Sad to hear we’ve lost Pauline Collins. A cracking actress. RIP

113 years since my Grandad was born on the 5th of November 1912. He was a cracking gentleman from whom I inherited the majority of my good points. It’s been 33 years since he died but I still miss him. He was brill. The perfect Grandad.

Having some proper old school soap opera blocking via a bit of Jupiter Moon.

Exciting local news... BBC News - Hillfort siege site excavations cleared to proceed www.bbc.com/news/article...

As it’s spooky season, here are some demons from an 18th century demonology book for you. I’m particularly fond of number 4 who has sea monsters coming out of their fanny. You’re welcome.

Blimey! I wonder where they put the rest of him?

Well we all know who to point the finger at… #DoctorWho #Louvre

A cracking day yesterday in an Oxfordshire theatre (“plots have I laid” etc) then home, via a wonderful pet shop and the most exciting voicemail I’ve ever had, to Stan who was slightly intimidated by his new bone but soon got to grips with it.

Yet more attempts at cultural vandalism as Badenoch decides the Humanities are worthless. Wanting to stop any adult from studying whatever they wish, considering they’re paying for it, is sign of a society in trouble.

ooh tough choice but I'll go for whoever didn't release a Tweenies single

Today my mate told me that she spent years thinking that smh meant “shag my hole” and I nearly crashed the car. After consideration, I prefer her version can’t lie

I hope you’ve all seen the #CameraPorn during the first ep of Object Z? Starts with a CU of the inside, dollys back as the hatch is replaced then you get a lovely reveal of the full thing. Beautiful stuff. #ObjectZ #Ffantaface

Might start a Callan rewatch. It’s very good, isn’t it?

Woke up from a dream excited and thought to scribble an idea down. No pen. So I put the laptop on to jot down a few lines and, two hours later, I’ve written six pages I’m very happy with and cleaned the kitchen. This is all rather lovely. Also, #Ffantaface.

🥳It's 358 years since #SamuelPepys shat in a fireplace: "I to bed and in the night was mightily troubled with a looseness (I suppose from some fresh damp linen that I put on) and was forced to rise and shit in the chimney twice; and so to bed and was very well again."🎉

Bugger. That’s a shame. #JohnStapleton was an excellent broadcaster. A safe pair of hands in the studio. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Working on the most exciting thing I’ve done since about 1997!

Brand new NT! What if Never the Twain had been made by the BBC? Resident Alien, lottery cheats, Derek Deadmad & a lively discussion on sitcom, particularly Only Fools & Horses plus all the usual bollocks! iTunes-> podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/n... Spotify-> open.spotify.com/episode/54qy...

This really is a bloody shame, and it’s sad to see that the UK isn’t alone when it comes to demolishing its studio spaces.

I think everything would be better if all 24 hour news stations were closed down and we went back to the 5.40 Early Evening and News At Ten on the _third_ channel and The 9 O’Clock News on BBC1 preceded by “and now, let’s go Nationwide.” Everything, from the titles onward, was better…

Had a wonderful day guesting at Bridlington Comic Con with the Rambling Club. A cracking live episode recorded and I met two childhood legends. Can’t complain at that.

What a lovely day. And the bells are ringing out! They found a Viking burial in the churchyard so it’s been a place of worship and belief for over a thousand years.l

‘… social historian David Kynaston, told The Observer he suspects “a serious scandal is unfolding” John Wyver, Ian Greaves, Erica Wagner and others on the growing battle to prevent damaging changes to the BBC’s priceless behind-the-scenes archives:

What a wonderful gravestone. Thomas Stagg simply wants to be left alone it would seem. #history

Post your babe in trouble

Spoke to somewhat of a hero for the Rambling Club. He did the intro in character and I fully exposed myself as a fan. Zero regrets.
