Sorry to see 'Wycliffe' actor Jack Shepherd has gone. Watched him recently in the 1977 BBC adaptation of Dracula and he was fantastic as Renfield.

The president of the United States is insane. Full stop.

R.I.P. Jack Shepherd www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

and THIS is how i realise that sag-aftra includes radio artists!

my campaign to have radio included in the baftas has once again been rejected on the grounds that “british academy radio, film and television awards” makes for a “frankly upsetting” acronym

It has been pointed out to me that this means 2.5 billion-dollar AI music company Suno has spent less money on music than many individual music fans

Marina Hyde on particularly fine form today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Robbie Gibb said if he doesn't get his way, he'll blow the BBC up. It's ridiculous that a man like that has a spot on the BBC's board. Our public broadcaster MUST be independent. Agree? Sign to get Gibb sacked:

I’m not one to horn-toot but I am so happy to have received my first Emmy nomination for this show and for these characters I love playing so dang much... and so very grateful to be sharing a category with my incredible friends. I was convinced this would never happen. I treasure this nomination.

Join us this Sat, 12PM, for our special #WW1 double bill with #SilentFilm The Battle of the Somme (1916) with live music by Stephen Horne + Stanley Kubrick’s Paths of Glory (1957) on #Bristol’s biggest cinema screen: ti.to/film-noir-uk... Thanks to @filmhubsw.bsky.social & @20thcflicks.bsky.social

"i hate it when podcasters plug their patreons" yeah and i hate it when sainsbury's make me pay at the checkout

Amazing!!

Libraries coordinate on book disposal to safeguard rare texts www.timeshighereducation.com/news/librari...

I think “conspiracy group”is a fair description of Together UK. One of its leading members has harassed grieving widows at the National Covid Memorial Wall and published it online.

All About The Music - a fascinating podcast to tune in and listen to; no regrets guaranteed!

Congrats!

Deservedly so.

I discovered this podcast today and it was a delight!

WE'RE NUMBER ONE!!

📖

Delighted to be introducing audiences to live accompanied silent film at Matrix Arts in Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire at the end of this month. Details and tickets here - www.matrixartscentre.org.uk/music-at-mat...

Come on I-phone podcast listeners!!

"Norse myth, it should be noted, is sometimes quite odd" that's an understatement 🤣

I finally absorbed the BFI's new Blu-ray release featuring a 21st Century score for a film as much about 1925 as the events it depicts from 1905. That said, resistance is timeless. ithankyouarthur.blogspot.com/2025/11/pet-...

Congratulations Revomit, you got Cornish wastrels into the news

I had my 1st viewing of THE SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS (1957) last night for #Noirvember. i'm not 100% sure it qualifies, but if it's good enough for Alain Silver andElizabeth Ward, it's good enough for me. Great film whose sumptious photography reminds me of why noir really appeals to me.

I have been and it's fab! As was last night's Add to Playlist... A version of Teardrop was also used as the theme music to 'House'...

Yes do!

Excellent from @arusbridger.bsky.social - demands to be read

Give it a listen, folks!!

Brilliant warm hearted woman. Outstanding journalist. Awful news.

One of my favourites Italian silents (well one of my favourite silents, period)

It’s a #FilmNoir Joan Crawford day for us. See you all at #Bristol Megascreen from 12pm for a special double bill of Mildred Pierce (1945) + Johnny Guitar (1964) (both the recent 4K restorations). Thanks to @filmhubsw.bsky.social and @20thcflicks.bsky.social #Melodrama tickets: ti.to/film-noir-uk...

As a teen I’d dream of finding myself with a new born baby & thinking when did that happen. Since I’ve had children I’ve often dreamt of finding I’d written a book. Now it appears I’m the mother of at least quintuplet proofs. #paperbackwriter

#Music Neil Brand and Imogen Whitehead launch a new series Add to Playlist Today 19:15 BBC Radio 4 Jeffrey Boakye and Anna Phoebe are joined by @neilkbrand.bsky.social and Imogen Whitehead as they add the first five tracks to the new series. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

This is so big, seriously, the biggest scandal we’ve ever seen‼️👀👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

The only reason we know anything about the Epstein files is because the survivors refused to give up. This release is about the the bravery & tenacity of the survivors who continue to fight for justice in a system seeking to crush, silence, and erase them.

Future generations (if they exist) will look at how this happened & wonder that in the West the best we had was a 13 year old girl who was promptly reviled while we voted for billionaires because they “told it like it is” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“I wish this book had been about when I was a teenager! I love this book.” — Harry Hill “For as long as I’ve known him, David Quantick has been one of the funniest and most original writers around.” — Armando Iannucci IMAGINE A FRIEND, out March 2026. www.starsandsabers.com/books/imagin...

Congratulations to the fabulous composer Mike Gibbs who today, aged 89, received an honorary degree from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. On display, delighted to see artefacts from his collaboration with Bill Forsyth on Housekeeping, plus the score of a tune that is very close to my heart.

I came from S London. I had a thirst for knowledge. That’s how I..caught his eye.. LOVED doing this! pod.fo/e/35146b

Insane new stats on AI music: - 50,000 AI songs are uploaded every day - 34% of songs uploaded are AI-generated Massive respect to Deezer for being open about this - and being the only streaming platform to try to fight it. This can't become the new normal.

It's a cracking episode. I knew it would be. Have a listen.
