Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

This made me jump...Holland (the Hi-De-Hi one) is patron of the theatre company I'm a member of in Walsall...unlike the other Holland (the deaded one), who isn't.

Sitting down to watch Elvis on BBC One. I hope it covers him forming the Attractions and recording Oliver's Army.

I wonder what day it is.

I have set the video for this.

Well, that's that done for another year.

Just walked round to Iceland to pick up milk, and there are men in there, clearly sent on a last-minute errand to pick up something, who look like they've never been in a supermarket before. All with lost, bewildered looks on their little faces.

Amazed to spot that Michael Palin has a copy of the Vic Reeves Big Night In book...until I realised that he wrote the foreword.

Post you from a different era.

Looking for a new teapot online, and was struck by this rather grim proclamation.

Something tells us that we're going to be correcting a lot of people today... maryrose.org/discover/his...

How sad, his Road To Hell album is bloody fantastic.

New on The Goon Show Preservation Society website, there’s the Multiple Choice Quiz and the Peter Sellers Picture Quiz which were set for our annual meeting. Also, stories taken from a 1996 meeting where John Browell, John P Hamilton and Brian Wiley talked of their days working with the Goons.

Romana...is that you? You've regenerated!

Christmas Ident Calendar Day 22. BBC1 asked viewers to consider themselves one of us in 2011. Stars sang the song from Lionel Bart's Oliver. Several idents including one with The Gruffalo & child. Christmas Day top 3: Downton Abbey 12.11m, EastEnders 11.33m, Doctor Who 10.77m.

Well, I quite enjoyed that, and Tovey and Redgrave were brilliant but....why did the tank split? Why did they drug Barclay and inject him? Why did he grow gills? And where did the virus come from? Maybe I need to re-watch, I clearly missed something somewhere.

Nice little tribute to Lionel Jeffries in the remake of the Amazing Mr. Blunden on SKY at the moment.

I'm sure Chester Draws was on the bill with Arthur Askey a few times.

Just heard that another old work colleague has popped their clogs, that's three this year. Younger than me too. It's all a bit rubbish and no mistake. 😔

Fiddlers Day.

I see the Blue Origin rocket has launched again.

Fox reporting that all entries in the Epstein files discussing Donald and Melania Trump, other members of the Trump administration, and their friends have been blacked out of the Epstein files as released. www.foxnews.com/politics/eps...

Johnny Vaughan IS Alan Partridge.... #totp

I remember seeing the Raymond & Mr Timpkins Revue doing a joke about this, the punchline being 'What's she going to cook like with a chimp's knee on her.' You can make up the joke yourself. #TOTP

Every charity shop in the country clearing their shelves to make way for David Walliams' books....and so soon after they had to do so for the works of Neil Gaiman.

I suppose the ratty little turd will be begging GB News for a job now.

What’s good about Walliams is we don’t have to separate the art from the man

Well, this is my surprised face...

Ooh, Denise Welch is on Radio 2. *Turns off Radio 2*

Jesus Christ. This is the bloody grimmest image of them all. 😟

Watching Madame Web....it's pretty drab, but does have the distinction of being the only Marvel movie to date to feature Alastair Sim.

He's pinching jokes from Bob Monkhouse now.

And Angela Morley....and Fay Presto...

Excellent. If you've not seen this, then please do so. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Very sad to report that JOHN ANTROBUS died yesterday (15th December) aged 92. A frequent writing collaborator with Spike, he conceived and co-wrote The Bed Sitting Room, two Goon Shows, sketches for the Fred shows & so much more. Glad we got a chance to salute him with a show earlier this year. RIP

RIP John Antrobus.

Fuck this fucking awful waste of human flesh, the day this orange cock dies...which won't be far away...I shall raise a glass to all his dissenters and post a pint of my piss to the States to pour on his grave. What a wretched, petty, obnoxious arsehole.

Utterly tragic news about the rather marvellous Rob & Michelle Reiner. Inconceivable, one might say. 😔

Encountering a misinformation campaign in real time. The bystander who tackled the gunman at Bondi was identified as Ahmed el Ahmed (link below). But in almost every tweet I saw, there are people claiming the real person is "Edward Crabtree," referencing a website called "The Daily."

I see Reg the Butcher is out of Parkhurst....

Phew....Ford is one of the good guys.

Total support for Robin Ince. Such a shame he has had to resign from Infinite Monkey Cage. Your move, Brian.

I see one of 5ive is doing 'Drama teacher trying to be down with the kids' by sitting backwards on a chair. #totp

Honestly dear, I wouldn't bounce up and down too much in that dress. #totp
