"Who ran the iron horse?"

Heck, Chicago, which led the citywide censorship charge and infamously censored MACBETH for violence in 1908, kept its censor board even after the Hays Code. Chicago once requested that a jelly be cut from a scene for jiggling to lasciviously.

When Will Hays arrived in Hollywood, he didn't immediately publish his set of rules and recommendations but he wielded soft power and, while 1920s-to-mid-1930s films still tackled heavy topics, they never went quite as far as 1910s features.

I'd like all music buying websites to have a button where, when you're looking at the stuff they have for sale from one particular artist, you can tell it "just show me the actual, cardinal albums, no compilations, no live albums".

I'm pretty sure the last time I tried to explain the drama around the London ITV franchises in 1967/68 it took me six hours. Discussion of any aspect of the Beach Boys' Smile lacks such brevity.

I’ve put these four recently completed artworks on my online gallery. I’d like them to be in a real one in a way, but people scare me. This way, if you like them you can just buy them. Please buy them! Or just share this. Thanks. www.chloecumming.com

Oh wow. I actually don’t remember that joke, probably because I didn’t get it at the time. youtu.be/QqDHVD8kT4Q?...

Emmerdale Farm lyrics klaxon!!!

Premiering now… a short video about a famous Hartnell fluff that isn’t a fluff!

I read a piece earlier that said “imagine how MAGA would react if seatbelt laws were introduced today,” to which I reply: We don’t need to imagine

In June 2002, Avril Lavigne claimed that “five years from now” you would see the titular Sk8er Boi “rockin’ up MTV,” but by June 2007, MTV had replaced its full schedule with reality programming and aired no music videos. In this TED Talk, I will

IT’S TRAD DAD (1962) With Andrew Hickey @andrewhickey.500songs.com pod.link/1569929507 Richard Lester was an early collaborator of Sellers & Milligan and this comedy teensploitation musical was a kind of dry run for A Hard Day's Night - innovative & influential!

Reading some Wagner & Grant/Breyfogle Batman…

Peter Cook as Elvis looking like a Morrissey/Alvin Stardust hybrid was not something I ever expected to see.

Giving a second listen to a couple of eps of the @500songspodcast.bsky.social while I cook dinner, and this just knocked me off my pins (slightly abridged here):

Lola does a great job, obvs, but Don Lurio's head appears not have been attached to his shoulders as other men. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrrW...

He's going to land with a world-ending kick on that guy's meat and two, isn't he?

"Rapture arrived yet, Fawlty?"

Update on this important Oxford Mail story. It’s now the ultimate local news story covering both sex and parking restrictions

Once you know this, it is impossible not to hear the line as "I'm addicted to you, but you know that your dog's sick".

So who was the best Elvis Presley impersonator – Peter Cook, Freddie Starr, Simon Groom or Vernon Kay?

best meme i ever made

The whites wank in Eton ... No lies detected

I'm on this. I did research and everything.

Of course the thing I *love* about the Beach Boys is that they were the kind of normie that goes so far in that direction it circles round to "weird as fuck". But they did need Dennis there to show them how to be a proper rock star, so the contrast is more obvious.

The Rapture happened. I'm in Heaven. I've been de-escalating an argument between Dustin Gee and Snitz Edwards.

In hard times in the future, I will recall this baby's quiet dignity and it will cheer me.

In the UK this was on at 6.30 in the evening on bbc2. But the reaction was the same.

Disclaimer Because Internet: "OMG I BET THOSE ANKLE SHOTS WERE SCANDALOUS AND THEY FAINTED IN THE AISLES!" They had pornography, Kyle.

Me off to the rapture.

Balls to this: I’m switching over to BBC Four for Arena Night.

Me and my mates doing a rapture

Used to host a Columbo podcast called Just One More Thing back in the stone age, and have started posting all the old content from the pod's Tumblr account to my new blog, starting with the original TV movie Prescription: Murder. Links to the podcast episodes included...

That weird AI aesthetic is going to be fetishized by Gen Alpha the same way Millennials turned 80s neon and 90s computer art into the look of Vaporwave.

I always presumed it was "do you get on with Mike Read"

This *is* the darkest timeline

In my minds eye I’ll always be a roast in a beef

Anybody who doesn't say George and the Dragon is lying.

Watched a YouTube video on lost media. Gave up after a reference to the Shakespeare play "The Temptest".

One day you're a youthful, energetic giant Yorkshire pork, then suddenly you look in the mirror and see a pudding turkey.
