Meet The Pemini Organisation. In the 1970s, three friends set up an independent British film production company. From 1972 to 1974, they produced a suspense thriller, a realistic spy film, and a romantic mystery. But, when they disbanded, the films disappeared... Until now tinyurl.com/yah9ethu

Pity the slow trains don't. #wmrail

Eric Clapton doing Jack Bruce / Pete Brown's "White Room" is quite surreal. #liveaid

Lunch!

Not on your nelly! This is my last box of my favourite fruit-flavoured tea. I'm sure it doesn't taste quite as good as it used to, but it's all I have. The 'best before end' date is April 2008. #twinings

Hooray! I've finally joined the club. I most recently saw the film in November, last year. So do I watch it again before, during, or after I read @greavesian.bsky.social's new tome?

If some tiny bits of 'The Hasty Heart' ring more of a bell than the rest of it, it might be because it was from this film that the 'Saturday Live' title sequence got its clips of Ronald Reagan.

Instant purchase!

This morning I've received an email from VirginMedia which tells me when something will be happening to my landline. The date format is unusual, at least for communications to the general public, and is also in the past. #virginmedia

Globbits.

Belgium.

Why is is B*llend and not Bell*nd? Is the 'Bell' bit more offensive than the 'end'? Sorry, I mean is the 'B*ll' bit more offensive than the '*nd'?

Semprini.

I'm finding this quite hilarious. I'd love to have been there for the conversation where they decide what point they can stop using asterisks to disguise the words, and whether anyone was objecting in case Tw*t was mistaken for a different word ("No, it's alright, that one's further down the list").

Back in Feb, I'd booked a rail ticket through the @westmidrailway.bsky.social app. The night before, I noticed that the time on the ticket was wrong, in the ticket details it was fine. An issue when a ticket for a day in BST is booked on a day where it's GMT maybe? Ticket images via email were OK.

Punk rocker Jet Black was born something like 35 days earlier than Eddie Cochran. He was also older than all of the Beatles and 4/5 of the original Rolling Stones.

Bryan and Mel C is like chives and spirit level. Conflicted. #totp

Quite an unusual substitution is coming from #Sainsbury's later today.

James Bolam & Barbara Flynn star in The Beiderbecke Affair on this day in 1985.

40 YEARS AGO TODAY: The Beiderbecke Affair, the first part of Alan Plater's Beiderbecke trilogy, in which James Bolam and an ensemble cast have things happen to and with them - jazz, black economy, environmentalism - gradually revealed as interconnected.

A while ago, I decided to do sets of Weetabix-style cards for shows that didn't get any. Here's my mini-set for The Avengers.

I saw this and thought of you, @waltydunlop.bsky.social. This was 25 November 1957, but there was a whole series of them.

The existence of a Dalek Parliament implies the existence of a Dalek Funkadelic

I am apparently the same age as quite a number of computing terms, and the word "codswallop".

Blimey, this goes on a bit, doesn't it. #totp

This Sunday Toby Hadoke and I are watching the surviving episodes of The Quatermass Experiment before chatting about Quatermass and Nigel Kneale. Come and join us. macbirmingham.co.uk/event/the-qu...

I went for Betamax and BSB rather than VHS and Sky. A friend waited to see which way I'd go in the DVD-R/+R format wars with the idea that he'd jump the other way. That I've picked Bluesky as my 'X' replacement, rather than Threads or Mastodon or whatever else, doesn't bode well. Sorry about that.
