I can’t explain it but these look like fake props for a movie set in 1986.

How many episodes of #TOTP are there tonight?

Friday

My occasional reminder to you that Enemy At The Door, the sometimes pretty brutal drama focused on the Nazi occupation of the Channel Islands, was shown on Saturday evenings on ITV in the slot now covered by The Masked Singer

Drawing the usual pentangle on the floor and getting the goat ready.

Almost forgot that today is Sexy Priest Calendar Day. 🎉

Das Beine und Co. on BBC4

Finally my Betty boop/Nancy Drew erotic thriller film can be made.

I couldn’t work in HobbyCraft. Not due to my complete lack of creativity but due to the fact that the 2nd rate cover versions they pay in order to avoid paying PRS would lead me to kill, kill and kill again.

1989 packed lunch for lunch

"What was your favourite game of 2025?" Keir Starmer - *sincere answer about spending his limited time with his kids playing Mario Kart, delivered as if he just googled it* Ed Davey - "I still love a bit of Wii Sports" Kemi Badenoch - "My best friend was killed by a Sega Mega Drive"

Oh - the animations in the middle of the London Eye aren’t added to the feed digitally. Instead they set up a small Hologauze projection right in front of the camera so it appears like it’s in the middle of the Eye. Why?! Somehow that’s worse? www.avinteractive.com/news/project...

Obviously, the best franchise was Teledu Cymru

Hard to believe that 1996 was ten years ago, isn’t it?

Happy birthday to all the new ITV franchise holders except Carlton, obviously

Got this arse about face, it’s #TOTP’s 62nd birthday as it was first broadcast in 1964

Happy 64th birthday to #TOTP The first episode was broadcast on this date in 1962 The first song played was Dusty Springfield's 'I Only Want To Be With You’

Peak #Crossroads.

New Year’s Day

#Hootenanny is mainly worth watching for Jools Holland's face behind his piano.

They seem to have a drunk busker on BBC2

As is traditional, Janosz blesses you all at this time. Merry New Year.

Ronan now seems to be singing with one of Harry Enfield’s scousers #BBC1

Lynch looking like a guy who’s been allowed out on day release #BBC1

Ronan seems to have Mrs. Bradford or Mrs. Bingley as one of his backing singers #TOTP

When I’m Mayor Of London, the New Year Fireworks will consist of this girl playing with a sparkler on the South Bank

Happy New Year Blwyddyn Newydd Dda

Ronan looks like someone drew Josh Home from memory and then photocopied it 12 times

Next year (2026 at the time of writing) is the anniversary of the anniversary of the birth of Alf Roberts

Ah, that sound is George Michael spinning in his grave at 45rpm #BBC1

This song is in the key of ouch #BBC1

Why did they let someone who hates music produce this? #BBC1

I remember working in a bar that charged £20 to get in on millennium eve and we earned quadruple time. It was empty all night and I earned a small fortune.

FUCK THE RONAN KEATING

There seems to be a hen do for someone’s second marriage on BBC1 if the audience is anything to go by

As we enter 2026, remember that…

The number of times I just find myself singing “Rock and roll, roll and rock away, Up and down, round and round we sway, We're the swell in the spell, Of the rollin' rockin' rhythm of the sea” to myself while pottering around is quite worrying.

Me looking back at 2025

What was your biggest impact on the internet? Probably Pie Club.

Six episodes on Friday, fam #TOTP

Just imagine if this was Sweden’s only contribution to music, they would be very rightly shunned #TOTP
