50p a day fine if you don't return the plane on time.

New series of Doctor Foster is set on Iceworld, pass it on

#DoctorWho Daleks' Master Plan episodes will be on iPlayer from 6am Good Friday. Read all about it in @radiotimes.bsky.social

Having checked my notes, Shakespeare never said "Tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty, you're listening to the boy from the big bad city". But he did mention a city when he said "Two households, both alike in dignity (In fair Verona, where we lay our scene)", and you can understand my confusion.

"Say, Jim, that's a bad outFIT!"

Timothy Dalton being the best James Bond.

I reckon Scott Mills nicked them Kit-Kats

BBC Radio 2 The Scott Mills Breakfast Show Now Playing Queen Another One Bites The Dust

That's at least a month's work, thinks a quietly delighted Gary Davies

Every sentence brings something new to the madness. Stick it on CEEFAX.

Signed.

Well I really enjoyed The Magic Faraway Tree, even if I couldn't persuade the kids to come 🫤

Because of woke

Had the pleasure of interviewing Elkie a couple of months ago for her tour programme. At 81, she's still in great voice, full of great stories - and still doing daily aikido 🥋

"a song justifiably at number 18". Thats fucking harsh, Powell. #totp

No-one does yearning, windswept melancholy quite like a-ha. This is bloody gorgeous #totp

Weird that Wuthering Heights has only just stopped being Kate Bush's most famous song #totp

"And Peston, that's gay as of midnight tonight"

I *really* confused him by talking about a "12-inch mix". ("How can you measure a song in *inches*?")

Of course no one from *checks notes* Sudan or Afghanistan could be in genuine danger.

We're really trying to build the PantoSplaining audience, so any help you can give driving people to linktr.ee/PantoSplaining is gratefully received. Episode 6 is our latest monthly edition and features this biography of 1989's Cardiff panto star Russell Grant. www.youtube.com/shorts/Lzjb2...

I know nostalgia is the English disease and all that, but wistful recollections of an extraordinary life are all we really want from Paul McCartney at this stage, aren't they? No-one wants him pretending he wasn't a Beatle.

Soon be time for Matlock.

All of the sudden the war starts

This image has absolutely melted my mind

Don't let anyone tell you British TV drama is short of ideas. In Unforgotten, Victoria Hamilton played a university lecturer facing cancellation by a woke student. But in C5's new The Teacher, Victoria Hamilton plays a *school teacher* facing cancellation by a woke student. Completely different.

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy

This looks like a Channel 5 show, but instead of Will Mellor and Jill Halfpenny, it's got Hugh Jackman, Emma Thompson, Bryan Cranston, Bella Ramsey, Patrick Stewart, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Brett Goldstein and Cousin Greg.

Changeable out.

False flag-shaggers should be an instant block, in every circumstance.

Incredible catch by a comment on one of my videos. Keith Harris points out a couple who are in the audience for their anniversary. The woman is Angela Woodruff, whose suspicions regarding her mum's death led to Harold Shipman being caught. (9:05 if the timer doesn't work) youtu.be/sXvoc2Im4Hs?...

Idea for a celebrity interview series: you just ask them interesting questions about their life, without making them eat spicy chicken wings, or pretending to be on a date with them, or any lame shit like that.

"Shush," the second track from In Times of Dragons, is here! Check it up via the new visualizer video for it on YouTube... www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4or...

More highlights from the archives including thoughts on the Smash Hits/Number One rivalry and the enduring esoteric appeal of French sixties pop music, plus Looks Unfamiliar looks at Battle Of The Planets and Big John Little John. What a way to... transmute? timworthington.org/2024/07/08/t...

Evening.

Facepsalm

"What's your favourite book of the Bible, Robert?" "Tough one. I think I'd have to say The Best of the Bible"

Great fact from this week's Museum of Pop Culture pod: At the same time Patsy Kensit hooked up with Liam Gallagher, her sister Ruth was dating Sir Clive Sinclair.

This weekend's contrast between the sharp young talent of SNL UK and the tired, atrophied will-this-do-ness of Comic Relief is really striking.

It’s 45 years ago today since Part 4 of Logopolis, so here’s Paddy Kingsland’s 2009 live performance of Tom’s regeneration at The Roundhouse. youtu.be/AylGLL5RO9U?...

Poor old Alexa. The more deliberately obscured internet searching becomes, the more she feels like a confused robot that's forgotten its original programming.

[Instantly starts whistling Paddy Kingsland's music cue]

Standards really slipping at the Telegraph. Really basic typo in a column headline today.

Nick Timothy and Mark Francois discuss their latest plans for community cohesion.

A book about one of Britain's best bands, from one of Britain's best music writers? Yes please.

Has any cover version ever subverted and reimagined the original better than this banger?
