It's Sunday afternoon - time for Worzel Gummidge! How about THE CROWMAN (1979), an episode which saw Worzel don his infamous Handsome Head and propose to a female scarecrow, who proceeds to beat him with a broom and dismember him. Folk horror fun for all the family!

Just been reminded of this Arthur C Clarke episode and I must watch it sometime as The Goodies parody of it is brilliant and I'd love to see the original...

So the Iran war ceasefire means everything is the same as it was before the war except with more things blown up? And they're working to Iran's 10 point plan and not America's 15 point plan? CRIKEY!

Give or take the odd daywalking vampire hunter, X-Men was essentially the movie that started it all... and now they're on their way back! So how does that first movie hold up now? Garry Abbott (@garryabbott.bsky.social) joins me to find out... timworthington.org/2025/05/22/i...

The trick with telesnaps is to ensure that every fourth one shows either absolutely nothing or accidentally combines two images from adjacent scenes to obscure every important detail. Eg, 'Kert is confronted by a Dalek, his gun is ineffective, the Dalek fires at him...he screams and collapses'.

Episode 3 of #SNLUK was the best so far. Riz Ahmed was great & so were the sketches. Operation, OG FM and The Traitors Giant Crab Man sketch were my favourites. Good to see more cast members get their moment in the spotlight. Think they're missing a recurring breakout character.

At the absolute height of Neighbours-mania, Madge and Harold did a nostalgic duet Christmas single, presumably assuming that it would sell by the festive bucketload to their captive daily 5.35pm audience. It didn't. timworthington.org/2018/12/20/l...

No more videos of incredibly overweight people using trampolines or crashing into Greggs will be on Instagram.

Murder, She Wrote only ever did one Christmas-themed episode. So I'm hoping the movie adds to that tally.

I'm waiting for the Channel 5 drama about Chappell Roan, a security guard and an 11 year old girl. The whole thing sounds mad. Maybe a few conversations would have sorted all of this out much sooner. I dunno. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy.

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy

Watching the news about the 'installation of the Archbishop of Canterbury'. This makes it sound like the cathedral has just put in a new boiler or some solar panels.

I'm reading about The Installation Of The Archbishop Of Canterbury and thinking it can be carried out by a British Gas engineer. "What time would you like your Archbishop Of Canterbury installed? There's 8am to 12pm or 12 to 6pm. Do you want the lifetime religious guarantee?"

Some of the dignitaries arriving earlier for the installation of the new Archbishop of Canterbury.

Children's BBC game show Knock Knock today in 1988, in which if anything too much is going on between the traffic lights, the bikes, the rubbish bags, the Peter Simon and in the case of this episode a disturbing animatronic crocodile.

No one quite disappears out of your life than the friend who gets a dog. I see my friends with tiny babies more. You hear from a friend of a friend how Sarah can’t come out anymore because her boyfriend has all these activities so she stays home and watches the dog. Girl.
