How I'm walking out of 2025

🎵 It's coming home and getting warm by the fire / it's

It’s a picture of your previous episode of #totp, Noel, when it looked slightly different.

Promo for 3D week on BBC1 (oh, and an earworm). youtu.be/pLekt9YJE4A?...

This is ace. @benbaker.bsky.social and @ricardoautobahn.co.uk should be on national radio.

I cant decide which of these messages from the Leicester Mercury in December 1990 intrigues me the most. And thats the mystery that continues to propel me through this hideous life.

I honestly thought she said “Danny Dyer would be so proud of you”. youtube.com/shorts/Datzy...

Make a Bond movie casual GoldenEye can if you want? No worries if not.

A Partridge in a PeeWee.

I couldn't sleep until I'd generated "A partridge in a Pertwee", which has been in my head all day.

"Spilling the Beans" is a bloody brilliant book, I can't put it down. What an amazing life Clarissa Dickson-Wright had.

Alf just gave me a t-shirt, unfortunately it *had* been wrapped up under the tree and now had a big hole in it... Knob.

Thanks to everyone who listened to the Christmas play tonight. Another chance tomorrow morning at 9:30am after which I'll be live to the nation for two hours where I'll attempt to be family friendly and pretending the world isnt on fire. noiseboxradio.com

I think everyone needs to see this important video.

And great fun it is! Get it in your lugholes.

I'm bored so here once again is the greatest Christmas title sequence in TV history

[first day as a shepherd] boss: where are you going? me: [pointing] star boss: what? why me: [shrugging] baby

One minute you're young and free, the next you're Googling "How to empty dog anal glands". Life, eh?

Myself and others have worked really hard to put together a special week of shows and specials on @noiseboxradio.com - I even made our own TV Times to hopefully lure you in. Why not turn off the telly and give us a try this Christmas?

As its Christmas, I think it's time we all took a look at one of the best "worst" low budget promo videos of all time. Features, among other delights, Dennis Waterman being inappropriately suave with a deeply confused looking poodle. youtu.be/rl6f_U72izI?...

There is some *superb* puppetry again this week from the great Paul Fusco, specifically ALF pondering, peering and peeping during Willie's attempt to show him a card trick. linktr.ee/ALFsplaining

Among his other numerous acts of philanthropy (google him), Michael Sheen sold his properties to fund the homeless World Cup. File him under ’not an arsehole’. bsky.app/profile/mgua...

Give the gift of plenty this Christmas

RIP Chris Rea, the Teesside Troubadour. My friend rang to tell me as I was driving on the A19 to Middlesbrough, which seemed strangely precient.

I heard him drop a desk and chair through the loft hatch one night in about 1983. Santa swears like a trooper and has a remarkably Middlesbrough accent.

Do you have any Panto Memories? The new Panto Poster Podcast @pantosplaining.bsky.social might trigger some flashbacks, or PTSD. Give us a follow as we investigate the really weird rabbit holes that old panto posters send us down!

Omg, catching up with @pantosplaining.bsky.social Darlington 1987 - I WAS THERE! I'd totally forgotten Stu Francis was in it, and it's sparked a memory of my friend bursting into tears at Barry singing "Somewhere out There" with the kids. Thank you @ricardoautobahn.co.uk and @benbaker.bsky.social!

Why didn't Jet Set Willy like parties? He was on the Spectrum.

I liked how Derek Griffith mostly looked into the camera during "Remembers Bod", like he did when he was on Playschool - that "speak like you're talking to one child" style is wonderful. I hate the trend of people looking to one side of the camera when speaking, it's so impersonal! #BBC4 #Bod

Talk about an info dump.

Surprised he managed to actually find his fucking chin to do that!

Shit, it’s the filth! Scarper! #Bod

Signs and portents

DINSDALE!

And lo did it come to pass that Mary and Joseph came upon an inn where Mary could rest and prepare to give birth to Jesus Christ, the son of our Lord, the messiah and chosen one 🙏 But the innkeeper was a cat. And as we know. All cats are bastards. #Caturday

"You got that laundry detergent formulation I asked for?" "Yeah boss. Sheep fat and grey powder, just like you asked" "What?"

This is right up your street, @georgyjamieson.bsky.social and @bobfischer.bsky.social!

The inventory of the Twelve Days of Christmas sounds like a list of ITV sitcoms that you could buy from Network. Who can forget Calling Birds, with Paula Wilcox and Molly Sugden? Or Turtle Doves, the dating agency run by John Inman and Rula Lenska? Or Partridge In A Pear Tree with Bill Maynard?

They've got cars big as cars, they've got rivers of wet But the wind is dead windy, it's no place for a vet When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas eve You promised me a secondary hand was waiting for me.

This is such a good observation.

Another year almost over and once again the Aberdare Tourist Board have rejected my kind offer of re-recording the Happy Days theme tune in an attempt to convey the joys of living in a town less than ten minutes from Mountain Ash.

One of those promos the BBC used to be so good at making. A raft of comedy talent on display here

I love this photo.

I do not want them on my feed I do not want them, no indeed I do not want them here, Bluesky I do not want them; please don't try. I do not want them - are you pissed? Do not import my contacts list.
