So, happy 11th birthday, the Profanity Embroidery Group

5 August 2014 was the date of their initial meeting, you see

What a fitting end to such a closely-fought test series. Congratulations India.

“The Murder at the Vicarage” Another favourite. The byplay between Slack and Lake regarding Miss Marple is delicious, but for me the highlight is Paul Eddington’s subtle, heartbreaking gentleness. If ever there was an actor to admire…

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Amazing how few of these songs I remember on #TOTP - but I was a bit preoccupied in 1998... it was about this point that I came out (albeit a couple of decades late)

Oh! Tom Lehrer 😥

One of the best lines in the whole of Miss Marple: “Hello, Aunt Effie - they tell me downstairs you’re getting very peculiar” Effie, with tremendous grace and gravitas: “I always was very peculiar”

Catching up with last night’s “Murder is Announced” on iPlayer. Must have seen it a gazillion times, but it’s still wonderful. They’re all superb, but this one’s an undeniable favourite. Joan Hickson is transcendent, and John Castle’s Craddock is just dreamy.

Basildon, innit.

I remember you, Errol #TOTP

Errol again! #TOTP

Damn, but Errol Brown was a pretty man #TOTP

Cheap Wine And Chocolate Biscuits. My dinner? Or my autobiography?

Test cricket. So boring. I'm exhausted just listening to it on TMS.

My word. What a test match. Tomorrow’s going to be fun.

Well, to begin with today, it’s the eighth birthday of this unimprovable headline

Re-watching the Jeremy Brett “Final Problem” Two things stand out: 1. What an absolutely superb Moriaty Eric Porter was. 2. I’d forgotten that the first half is essentially the same plot as the Fourth Doctor’s “City of Death”

Well, if it’s 17 June, it must be the 85th anniversary of Major Alfred Wintle, MC, responding to the defeat of France by starting a one-man campaign to rescue the French Air Force using methods which landed him in the Tower of London

We need to have a Doctor Who expanded universe story where the Fourth Doctor has a playwriting battle with Shakespeare and uses the alias Ben Jonson because, I mean, LOOK.

Been weeding and strimming in the garden. Every small creepy crawly that I've just made homeless, seems to have taken refuge inside my shirt. #ITCHY

I'm sure someone else will have already done this, but if so, I haven't seen it. So I did one myself. #DoctorWho #DuggaDoo #TheWell

Britain has no idea - in terms of its self-image, not economists obviously - what economy it actually has One of my favourite facts to point out is: at over £8bn annually, the *videogames industry* is more than twice as valuable to the UK economy as fishing and steel combined.

Share share share share

Watching one of the splendid Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes stories. There’s a lot of smoking. My kitchen door is open, and someone out there has a very fragrant barbecue. I suddenly crave a cigar. How surreal; I’m not even a smoker!

Ok, I'm going to say this: I think Mike and Gary Gabbastone should get picked up by bigfinish.bsky.social for some nice audio spinoffs, in the same sort of way that Jago and Lightfoot did.

It’s the 51st anniversary of one of this proud nation’s great cultural highlights: renowned intellectual Ken Tynan gets his girlfriend to stick vodka up his bum. The consequences are… less than ideal

It is, today, the 54th anniversary of a gift to satire: James Arkell’s solicitors writing to Private Eye, prompting everyone’s favourite reply. First, though, the initial letter:

Less than a week to the release of The Official #DoctorWho Puzzle Book! Preorder now!

So, today is clearly a day for making correct decisions, albeit "eventually" Will make a nice change 😆 Wordle 1,379 5/6* ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

HARRY SULLIVAN IS AN IMBECILE!! @markdodyk.bsky.social @johncrayment.bsky.social et al

When you choose a programme on the iPlayer because it looks interesting, and then realise in the first minute or so that it's going to make you cry all the way through... and cheer, too. @labisiffre.bsky.social I salute you.
