Lost Late Night Horror Found Film is Fabulous! has collaborated with Darren Payne of ‘Dirt in the Gate Movies’ to preserve a missing episode of BBC television: Late Night Horror: No Such Thing As A Vampire (Broadcast: 19th April 1968)

Still on the Ball!

🎶Hey babe, are you crazy?🎶 Yes! #TOTP

It was Cher’s 80th birthday a few days back. Long may she live. #TOTP

We’ve had Diana Ross doing Cher and now we’ve got Cher doing … Cher. #TOTP

This was only months before Freddie Mercury died. #TOTP

The Wonder Stuff! Seems they could let it lie without Vic and Bob. #TOTP

Go REM! I might be the only one, but I like Shiny Happy People … oh there’s the tumbleweed. #TOTP

Don’t worry Gary, I think even on Radio 1 in stereo they could still hear your jacket. #TOTP

It’s Simple Minds with Fake Bono! #TOTP

I Wanna Sex You Up! Be my guest but I doubt it’ll work on me. #TOTP

K’Pau, it’s T’Pau! #TOTP

For once they are showing the next (1986) edition after this one next week. With Peelie and Long at the helm it really will be a treat. #TOTP

Billy Ocean complained about the Spitting Image puppets. Something to do with them waving or some such. #TOTP

The Spitting Image puppets’ only appearance in the studio. This performance was directed by Doug Naylor and the late great Rob Grant, later of Red Dwarf of course, who were the lead writers and script editors of Spitting Image at the time. #TOTP

I always think back to the scene in Only Fools and Horses at Rodney’s wedding reception with Holding Back the Years playing in the background whenever I hear it. #TOTP

There’s the dickhead in love. And why should we look at the ladies there? I don’t like emotionless robots looking back at me. #TOTP

Watch out for Pete Wylie and Sinful next Friday. It’ll be a treat in more ways than one. #TOTP

I admire the way they’ve managed to rhyme cost with divorce. That’s almost Olympian skill writing. #TOTP

Janice Long wouldn’t have worn that I Ran the World t-shirt. I’ll leave it at that. #TOTP

Geri Halliwell reminded me of Michelle Collins for some reason. #TOTP

Two Spice Girls solo performances in one show? Could we combine the two? #TOTP

Jayne Middlemiss has learnt the follies of The Barry Letts Effect the hard way. #TOTP

Eric Idle is by far the best thing about the It’s Only Rock and Roll cover. #TOTP

Did they promise the children they wouldn’t make anything like this again? #TOTP

“Australia’s greatest ever export.” Round the Twist not for you is it? #TOTP

I remember this performance from Emma Bunton. #TOTP

R Kelly is at no.2 with If Only I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time. Yep! #TOTP

🎶Shake your bon-bon, shake your bon-bon, shake your bon-booooooooon.🎶 You shake your bon-bons. #TOTP

Ian Brown doing good stuff when he was less of a wazzock. #TOTP

Diana Ross doing a Cher number. Does she have keyboard sounding teeth too? #TOTP

🎶And you’ll be in my heart, yes you’ll be in my heart, from this day on and forever more. “Phil Collins by the way divorced his wife by fax and married a 27 year old. My Kurt Loder and that’s the news.” #TOTP

It is World Goth Day. As such, I point you to the bisexual goth daddy of our dreams, Mr. Vincent Price, talking about how he used to terrify people in movie theaters. www.facebook.com/share/r/1D12...

My favourite Blake’s 7 character. A lovely actor with a light touch.

RIP Michael Keating! The only actor to appear in all 52 episodes of Blake’s 7, the show wouldn’t have been the same without him. He was the perfect foil for Paul Darrow’s Avon. A lovely actor who also appeared in Doctor Who, EastEnders, Casualty, Rainbow, The Dawson Watch etc.

RIP Michael Keating. I don't think many would disagree that Vila was the heart and humanity of Blake's 7, not only for being present in all 52 episodes, but also being by far the most relatable character and a terrific foil for Paul Darrow as Avon. A fine actor with the gift of natural comic timing.

So sorry to hear that Michael Keating has died. A fine actor with a wonderful career, including a recurring role in #EastEnders, but to me he will always be the wonderful Vila in #Blakes7. RIP.

Very sad to hear Michael Keating, Blake's 7's Vila has died. He was so good and will be very much missed.

“The baddies were unconvincing, sets and acting shaky, the star loved it.” I think @tobyhadoke.bsky.social would agree, Nick Higham has blood on his hands. 😡

Only just saw Francesca Brill on an episode of Tales of the Unexpected a few days back. I gather she’s a writer and producer nowadays. Cool. #AVeryPeculiarPractice #BBCFour

Can’t think who that lay preacher reminds me of. Gosh, gosh! Crikey, crikey! #AVeryPeculiarPractice #BBCFour

Peter Davison is really good in A Very Peculiar Practice. I think it’s the best thing he’s ever done, after Doctor Who of course … and the theme tune to Button Moon. #AVeryPeculiarPractice #BBCFour

30 years ago today we lost the marvellous performer and tall lightbulb Jon Pertwee. Fancy pants!

Marvellously done. And with rare incidental music to boot.

I think we can all agree, quite the stud muffin.

Remembering Peter Copley, born this day in 1915.

Remembering Betty Driver, born this day in 1920.
