It's a seven-decade saga that charts the changing fortunes of the very long desk, co-starring ashtrays, telephones, banquettes, pulpits, piano lids and an over-enthusiastic electric fan. My history of BBC election studio furniture: nearertotheend.co.uk/2026/04/25/b...

Walking past the blue plaque to Kenneth Clarke near the BBC today reminded me of how much delight @gkw.bsky.social and I had watching the first episode of civilisation for the latest @squarewindowpod.bsky.social

Really shocked to hear about Rob Grant's passing. It's prompted me to dig out @jroberts332.bsky.social 's excellent interviews with Rob and Doug, which we ran in TV Years magazine in 2019.

Really loved this. Ian is one of my favourite people to read when it comes to writing about TV. Detailed, and with some killer turns of phrase.

I've started a new site where I'll be writing periodically about TV, films, music and the like. To begin with, ahead of the 100th anniversary of his birth: Kenneth Williams and 1980s television - a story of commitment, triumph and upholstery. nearertotheend.co.uk/2026/02/15/k...

Really enjoying this, file under 'focussed pod' in that the presenters actually stick to the topic in hand, which I know not everyone wants, but I'm in my 50s, life is short, I have a finite appetite for waffling banter.
