Can’t wait for the cosy crime TV series about his exploits.

As the bus slowly drives past a pub, a fight spills out onto the pavement. A guy dressed as a cowboy throws a punch and a lad on the top deck shouts, ‘Come on Woody, do it for Andy!’

Two women randomly sit next to each other on a busy bus, one older and one younger. They start chatting, and by the end of their journey are firm friends.

Late start to my Leeds International Film Festival viewing this year, but watched French light thriller A Private Life this evening. Fun and watchable, Jodie Foster is very good, but ultimately not quite sure what the film wanted to be. #LIFF2025

All my life people have often called me Anne instead of Anna. I’ve recently decided to assume it’s because I remind them of Anne Bancroft.

Just watched BBC2’s The Interview with Anthony Hopkins. Such a raw, honest and insightful 30 minutes. It was disarming in places, we get so used to surface only stuff. Well worth a watch.

There’s a sign inside saying ‘Gin O’clock’

As Sarah says, such wonderful company ❤️

Spoiler alert, sorry, but the massive elephant in the room is zero mention of Girls Aloud. I’m sure there’s a reason, but yet again FFS.

I’ve been watching the Girlbands Forever documentary. It’s fascinating but every few minutes I’m like ‘You’re kidding me…’, ‘Oh FFS…’ and ‘What an absolute arsehole…’ What an absolute bin fire of an industry it is.

The main takeaway from Girlbands Forever so far, is it’s mainly narky male managers forever.

My daughter keeps a low key eye on a pathetic local flag sh*ggers group on FB. They’ve cancelled the last couple of meetings, one because the football was on, and another because it was getting a bit dark as the clocks have changed.

Honestly one of the best series I’ve seen, can’t wait to watch it again. Would thoroughly recommend it.

Four 10s for the musical theatre lad #strictly #scd

It’s so refreshing when celebrities wear no makeup on TV #strictly #scd

Why am I not away on holiday anymore? This is unacceptable.

The British public cannot be trusted to vote in anything #strictly

Manic Street Preachers version of Umbrella.

Watched Lindsay Anderson’s The White Bus for the first time last night. Patricia Healey is an absolute style icon.

‘We saw you from across the bar and we really dig your vibe. Can we buy you a drink?’ #strictly

I’m sorry, but Karen has never looked hotter 🔥 #strictly

It’s times like this when I miss That’s Life.

Ah 1988, when 10 year old me (and everyone else) innocently went around singing ‘aciiiid!!!’ and wearing yellow smiley faces #totp

Sheryl couldn’t half pick ‘em eh? #totp

Kavana went on to be a successful QC #totp

Describes my old Twitter account…

I’ve had a recurring dream recently that I bought a lottery scratch card and won, so this morning I decided to buy one in case it was a sign. And amazingly I won! Two whole quid. Just shows that dreams can come true folks 🙏.

Celebrating the wonderful Diana Dors on what would have been her 94th birthday. Here’s one of my favourite photos of her ❤️.

Watching an episode of Northern Exposure, and look who’s turned up.

My daughter just asked me to help with her GCSE coursework by suggesting some ‘club classics’ from my clubbing era, and honestly I couldn’t be more delighted 🤣

Went on a visit to my old uni. Comforting to see this mysterious graffiti is still there 30 years on (just about).

It’s 30 years since I started university, so me and my two uni besties are meeting up for a couple of days there to reminisce, reaffirm, and complain about our various late-40s ailments.

Michael Sheen getting ready for the call to play him in the film…

‘Oh wow, great song this!’ I say as the Pet Shop Boys are on, just like I say every time they are on. #totp

About time they showed this amazing song. The Boy is Mine should’ve been on weeks ago #totp

Wow, inappropriate styling. The 90s was a different time etc… #totp

Can’t see as many films as I’d like at this year’s Leeds International Film Festival because day job and all that, but I’m booked in for A Private Life, Sentimental Value, ChaO, Cotton Queen and a random Polish documentary about trains. Can’t wait 😊.

Why do both of these Bullseye contestants look like they’re wearing disguises?

Great exposure (no fee).

Last time I witnessed something like that group dance, I woke up sweating and in tears #strictly

It’s a beautiful song, but I’m not sure Fast Car has a rumba vibe? #strictly

I had a great time speaking about Diana Dors at the @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social Festival at the Hebden Bridge Picture House today. I have no photos of me and @sarahbabsmorgan.bsky.social on stage, so here’s an arty shot I took on the way in.

Listening to the @screenshotpod.bsky.social about Scotland, and delighted to hear so much discussion about Bill Forsyth. Just a little note to say I made a series of podcasts about Forsyth’s films a little while back. open.spotify.com/episode/6hit...

Going out out.

Fun fact, I was in the third year at secondary school when this 1990 chart was happening, we were away in Aysgarth on our residential, and Mr Archer had let me do the music for the last night disco. #totp

Nick Berry predicting 2000s TV talent shows there with Every Loser Wins #totp

Me: ‘Oh wow, I loved The Bangles!’ My daughter (exasperated): ‘I KNOW…’ #totp

Strange Glue always feels like a song you sway to drunkenly just before they turn the lights on at the end of the disco. That’s a good thing #totp

It’s alright everyone, Cerys is here #totp
