I have a weakness for these bonkers Guardian column headlines. You could say they're my A. Chiles heel.

Harry Hill's brilliance is wasted on Junior Bake Off, put him on the proper one!

Just watched Happy Now by @herring1967.bsky.social on the YouTube, here's what I wrote about the show at the Nottingham Playhouse in 2016 www.richardherring.com/happy_now/pr...

Occasionally worth going back to X

Not claiming to know everything about David Bowie. However I am a long time fan, have all his music, have read countless books and watched plenty of documentaries but totally missed this!

It hasn't occurred to any of the amateur detectives that this could be the next regeneration of Ben Mitchell. #Eastenders

I do quality over quantity on Bluesky and having an even slower follow climb than I did on Twitter. Please recommend me and my amusing posts to get my numbers up. Many thanks in advance ☺️

If anyone still needs someone to turn up at midnight and play Auld Lang Syne on kazoo, I have reduced my fee to £500.

Like watching old 'An Audience With' shows and when the camera pans you go 'dead, dead, Yewtree...'

Of course Bob Cratchit was late to work the day after Christmas, he took delivery of an uncooked turkey the size of his son on Christmas morning. It would have taken ages to cook, either they didn't sit down to eat until late, or he had the shits due to it being underdone.

I see the stranglers have hit on hard times

I will crack an egg into my bath tonight in tribute. RIP Chris Rea.

Tonight I'm showing Dickens the 1992 adaptation The Muppet Christmas Carol, surprisingly one of the most book-faithful movie versions of the story. #DickenslearningaboutDickens

I haven't been this shocked since I found out that bears shit in the woods.

You scumbag, you maggot...

Start watching Die Hard at 10.25pm Christmas Eve and John McLane says 'Yippee Ki Yay motherfucker' at the stroke of Christmas morning.

I find this sentence so annoying. In this day and age having to wait, especially on what is now a nostalgic channel that has everything already in the vault.

As it's December and okay ( to a fashion) to mention Christmas, here is a film I made a few years ago. Using clips from various versions of A Christmas Carol to tell Scrooge’s backstory. youtu.be/KoJj0nBMkPw?...

Why go to Aldi when you can have an edible/biodegradable Kevin the Carrott, £5. DM me 😀🥕🥕🥕🥕

It's time to start watching the adaptations of A Christmas Carol. This evening it was Ross Kemp's modern (in 1999) retelling, which maintains the spirit (no pun intended) of the original novella. Here is a picture of my cat Dickens in a hashtag trope I'm calling #DickenslearningaboutDickens

Clock faces are traditionally set at ten to two or thereabouts in adverts as it represents a smile and thus makes the customer happy. Not entirely sure it applies to digital displays but respect for having a go Sekonda.

Happy birthd-aaaaaaaaaay! @hwinkler4real.bsky.social

This Flintstones themed bar has live music, I bet it's rock music! *tap tap* is this thing on?

The irony is that I can't get arrested in Nottingham these days but in Cyprus look what the hot fashion is.

My love and knowledge of A Christmas Carol is well documented, but even I haven't seen this version! @lucindahawksley.bsky.social @peteorford.bsky.social @drchrislouttit.bsky.social @scroogepod.bsky.social

Last time he was at a dance he got knocked out by George McFly in the car park. #Strictly

Dame Patricia Routledge, a one woman comedy masterclass. RIP

Only Fools and Horses did a rare thing in not relying on having the entire cast in every episode for the sake of it. The fact that Patrick Murray only appeared in 20 out of 64 episodes yet made a huge impact is a testament to his ability to own his scenes as part of a high-quality ensemble cast.

Has nobody ever thought to get a double-decker bus and do an On the Buses tour of London?

I've never previously noticed how Julia Roberts looks so much like Will Young.

Enid Blyton's latest book looks a bit shit.
