Whenever I see Darts I'm always reminded of Danny Baker's comment that they were probably the hardest band he could think of. You can well imagine them giving someone a right good hiding in a pub carpark. #TOTP

I've said it before but I'm quite fond of Noel refusing to abbreviate Company to Co like he's fulfilling his ambition to be a journalist at the Wall Street Journal rather than being a Radio One DJ #Totp

Before they split into the provisional UB40 and the continuity UB40 #TOTP

I’m sorry I just found out that in 1379, as in, 650 years ago, a baby girl was born in Yorkshire and named Diot Coke history is a fucking joke lmao

Just watched this for the first time. I'm still in shock. Such a brilliant film.

Keep thinking of when Disney tried to sue the BBC when Alexei Sayle’s Stuff parodied Snow White and the BBC legal person was heard to say, ‘Fuck Disney, we’re the BBC.’

I want this BBC - my BBC back. It's been stolen from us by politics and politicians. timworthington.org/2020/03/18/m...

My latest monthly playlist is now available. Old records, new records, and new to me records, that span decades, genres and continents. All of them have made the last few weeks a lot easier to deal with. I hope somewhere on the playlist is something that'll make you go wow! and play it again.

Not sure how many other places in Britain have individual street war memorials. They're scattered throughout the older parts of St Albans commemorating those who didn't return to their homes on those streets. Their location makes them far more personal and poignant. This one is on Fishpool Street.

Back in the 70s the majority of footballers in my Panini albums seemed to be delighted to be playing football for a living. I mean look how happy Barry is about playing for Ajax.

Late night viewing. What an incredible piece of film making.

RIP Gilson.

'Home James' is a lovely little documentary following James Mason as he returns to his hometown of Huddersfield. Mason is a wonderful presenter, warm, witty and engaging, the fact that the longer he's in Huddersfield the more his accent dips into Yorkshire is an additional delight.

How cool/terrifying was the Standard Fireworks man?

Have a good bonfire night
