Personal.

This BBC News Online piece will be the most effective publicity my new documentary about Flight into Danger gets. So if you have enjoyed the programme, think you may enjoy it, or are just a kind soul, if you could please share this anywhere you think it may be worth sharing, I'd be very grateful!

Couldn't get it out of my head, so now it's on here.

“The Sweeny, The Sweeny…” by Sweep. (This was sent to me by a friend from a Facey account, credit to a Mark Devine who posted it). .cc @hannahcooper.bsky.social

Having fun imagining a line up for ‘Last One Laughing (Heaven)’ Bill Hicks Richard Pryor Rik Mayall Victoria Wood Caroline Aherne… The list is endless, sadly. And will only get longer. Who would you add to it?

Art imitating art imitating art.

This is fucking cracking. www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Sean’s Show. 1992. When Sean’s Show became Sam’s Show.

@dirtyfeed.org I’ve just had a thought. Do you think the Young Ones had a stag’s head in the living room as a homage to the moose in Fawlty Towers?

@podcatflappo.bsky.social I’ve just seen episode 30… it’s coloss!!

Bob Monkhouse (31st October 1983). Ronnie Barker discusses character voices and comedy heroes.

I want a ‘Paris’ DVD with lots of extras and special features and no I’m not sorry.

@dirtyfeed.org can I alert you to a tedious fact that you may already know? The carers in the One Foot in the Grave episode ‘Hearts of Darkness’ are watching ‘Bottom Digger.’ And this is the very exciting bit: one of the carers is played by Nick Scott, AKA Skullcrusher Henderson from ‘Bottom Dough.’

I miss the days when Donald just said stupid stuff and was mocked.

When Goon Pod interviewed... David Renwick David chatted about his career, including writing for Spike, Mike Yarwood and Alexei Sayle, plus One Foot In The Grave memories podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

@cappsy.co.uk hey Cappsy have you seen this? www.facebook.com/share/p/1C5n...? Comedian’s Comedian podcast has got Doug on

I’m watching ‘Priest’ on iPlayer. (A dark film about a priest’s faith being tested when confronted by a disturbing reality.) Jimmy McGovern wrote the film. But do you think this scene may have been co-written by Michael Palin and John Cleese…?

I’m thinking of posting a picture of a bookmark, captioning it with the caption: ‘bookmark’, then bookmarking it. Luckily just typing it out is enough to stop this from happening.

I was listening to the Adam Buxton episode of the excellent Failing Writers podcast, and I didn’t remember the Adam & Joe book, so I thought I’d get myself a second hand copy! Anyway it turns out that, no, I won’t be doing that. @failingwriters.bsky.social

It’s the middle of summer tomorrow. Big ears.

Watching ZAPPA documentary on Prime. I may be totally wrong but I’m sure this song had lyrics. #DancingFool

I went to the toilet in the paradox museum... 🤔

@squidyuk.bsky.social I see your name attached to almost everything I like. So firstly, congratulations. And secondly is there a way I could read Peter Cook’s script for Dr Jekyll & Mrs. Hyde? Ideally thirdly we could swap lives but I’m not sure you’d get on with my children.

What's your favourite Fry & Laurie sketch? Me, I'm a sucker for old Mr Simnock and his cocoa. (photo taken OTD 1987)

@jonronson.bsky.social Jon! I love LOST AT SEA so much! I feel compelled to tell you. I had it for years & never read it - I wanted to keep it for the perfect time. Well, that was probably a mistake. But in a way, I’m glad. A perfect amount of time has passed. Will you revisit these stories??

Oh hai, new followers: you’ve caught me working on brand new top quality content for The Bluesky.

Listeners! I still need more questions to put to top-drawer audio engineer & the man who lovingly restored all those Goon Shows, Ted Kendall - who's returning for a special Q&A show before Christmas. Please message me or try [email protected] - ta!

Later this month for Goon Pod Film Club - all being well - David Renwick & Andrew Marshall are joining me to talk about the 1986 film Whoops Apocalypse! Please feel free to drop me any questions or comments! patreon.com/GoonPod

I’m what they call ‘book smart.’ I always wear - a book jacket…

I think I might pretend it’s the 90s until I die.
