During the drinks breaks at the World Cup, we're playing who is your favourite Wesley? Wes Streeting? Wesley Snipes? Wesley from Star Trek? Wesley Sneijder? Second half drinks break: who is your favourite Keir?

Is Pep off to do some Trivago adverts?

Listening to Paul Temple makes me think that Bob Mortimer would be proud to name all the characters. #BBC4Extra

That's one hour 40 minutes that I will never get back. #Snooker #ComeOnRef

When the Levellers is the sound track to Beyond Paradise and you are living the dream.

When Richard Madeley is your champion and calls out Reform live on #GoodMorningBritain That!

What a week on ITV 4! Morecambe and Wise in the Sweeney and now Bruce Forsyth in Magnum PI. I should cut down on the coffee.

Send medicine! I'm having another fever dream. I've just spotted Morecambe and Wise in an episode of The Sweeney! It reminds me of the day I spotted Robin Askwith and Paul Chuckle in an episode of Madame Blanc.

#DetectivesInOtherSeries Anthony Howell (Paul Milner in Foyles War) lwas ast night in Grace as Fergus Doyle. Seems like he never got away from Brighton in 1945 when he let down Sam.

Legendary BBC R4 quiz BRAIN OF BRITAIN is back and casting in the UK. If you can tell Ariana Grande from Ariadne, or a baritone from a baryon, then why not take up the challenge? Email [email protected] for an application form before April 7 2026.

I fear that I am afflicted by a bad base case of James Mason. I can't help but say the name of James Mason in the voice of James Mason.

This week, I saw Alan Bennett driving a Tesco van!

Steven Robertson (Sandy in Shetland) played Tom Naresby in Vera. #DetectivesInOtherSeries

DI Mervin Hughes (Don Gilet) appeared in Series 1 of Father Brown as Douglas Brown #DetectivesInOtherSeries

I have absolutely adored Junior Bake Off. I rarely watch Bake Off. @channel4.bsky.social / @channel4tv.bsky.social are missing so many tricks with the adult version. "Nice to see um, it's Rav and Liam."

We've got to that stage in life when we are comparing funeral / cremation service ads on TV. List of shame? 1. Co-op (Respecting the choices of the deceased) 2. Pure Cremation (Man in bath) 3. Simplicity Cremations (Those folk singers. What are they doing?) If you have your favourite, let us know.

Looking forward to my trip to the Festival Hall later to introduce the TS Eliot Prize readings. I’d better polish up my gags and aphorisms!

#DetectivesInOtherSeries Ralf Little Sergeant Pickford - A Pocket Full of Rye and Neville Parker - Death in Paradise

Go see!

Recently, I've got very emotional over Beyond Paradise and now Father brown. If only I could be a real boy, one day.

#DetectivesInOtherSeries Sally Lindsay (Jean White in Madame Blanch Mysteries) is tonight in Midsomer.

Just been watching a fascinating documentary on the BBC about the fall of American civilization.

Agatha's Christmas: I'm currently at 2 John Moffatt Poirots, 2 Ustinov Poirots, 1 Finney Poirot, 3 ITV Maples, 3 other Christie stories, 3 Suchet Poirots and 1 other Christie radio play. Still holding out for Kenny B's moustache. #AgathasChristmas

Agatha's Christmas: I'm currently at 2 Ustinov Poirots, 1 Finney Poirot, 2 ITV Maples, 3 other Christie stories, 3 Suchet Poirots and 1 Christie radio play. But where is Kenny B and that moustache? #AgathasChristmas

Polite request. Can all those middle-aged men who keep banging on my door with a handful of queue cards please stop? Kiera Knightley lives next door and, if I'm honest, your pathetic cries for attention lack originality and beware she sends her elderly grandmother to answer the door. Happy new year!

Agatha's Christmas: I'm currently at 1 Ustinov Poirot, 1 Finney Poirot, 2 ITV Maples, 3 other Christie stories, 3 Suchet Poirots and 1 Christie radio play. #AgathasChristmas

Alexander Armstrong, Abigail Cruttenden, Julian Fellowes and Adam James. Before they were household names, they appeared in one episode of Sharpe.

#DetectivesInOtherSeries David Burke (Dr Watson) in practically every other detective series since. (Twice in Midsomer, Poirot, Inspector Lynley & Dalziel and Pascoe)

Just checked the listings. BBC2 4 all. 15:10 25th Dec Evil Under The Sun 15:25 28th Dec Murder on the Orient Express 15:45 29th Dec Death on the Nile Agatha's Christmas. I'm currently at 1 Maple, 3 other Christie stories, 2 Suchet Poirots and 1 Christie radio play. Ustinov and Finney in waiting.

Agatha's Christmas. I'm currently at 1 Maple, 3 other Christie stories and just starting a Suchet Poirot. Not a sight of Ustinov or Finney yet.

I can tell that we are in the season of joy as I mostly spent yesterday vacuuming out a blocked dishwasher. (It was a wet/dry vacuum for those who are concerned about my behaviour).

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

The bananas on the beach story is an absolute beauty.
