I do comedy, lecturing, journalism, radio and writing. I like beaches, books and buildings. Probably writing a bit too much about ovarian cancer at the moment because of reasons.

Those harmonies. The way they just look at each other and hit the right note.

And I shall save my rewatch of the S&G documentary for tomorrow.

I’ve watched it ten times or more but I’ll still watch it every time it turns up on telly - Simon & Garfunkel in Central Park is glorious. #notTOTP

The second sexiest music clip of course is him glorying in Barbra Streisand singing Evergreen. Basically I’d love a compilation of Kris appreciating women.

Oh my goodness. That’s horrible. I’m so sorry.

My ascites caused some fluid on my lungs, which panicked me. Ascites is so horrifically debilitating that chemo eventually came as a blessed relief. So glad I advocated for myself eventually.

Exactly.

An American Tune is a truly great song. #notTOTP #simonandgarfunkel

Back in late 80s they installed a Sky dish on my block of flats, and Vision Quest seemed to be permanently on.

Oh gosh. I’m so sorry to hear that.

Mine’s Stage 3 and responded well to chemo. I’ve just had the big debulking surgery. But the recurrence rate is about 90% so, you know.

Borderline polite older gentleman/perve.

I’m sorry to hear this. It’s a horrible thing and almost always gets diagnosed late, because of just those things. I was treated for IBS for a few months until the bloating became impossible to ignore.

Vision Quest, starring Matthew Modine (as a high school wrestler) and Linda Fiorentino, in case you wondered. #totp #madonna

An early example of a band saying its own name at the start of the track like a proto Jason Derulo. #JesusJones #totp

Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy
Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy YouTube video by MassiveAttackVEVO

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWmr... No doubt I'll wang on about this Friday night, but #TOTP this week features Unfinished Sympathy by Massive Attack. Now there's no way the BBC will play the entire video, so why not have a watch now?

1/3

Both the track and the video are things of absolute beauty.

It was just that kind of thing. Except it was on the low neckline of my dress.

This bloke is appallingly off tune, isn’t he? #totp

And then Tony Blair came and said hello. Quite a surreal day.

Exactly! Ours wasn’t the kind of house where we’d have BaByliss crimpers so I sort of had to try these things by stealth. But yep, it always fell out.

While everyone’s talking about Bob Holness… he wiped satay sauce off my dress with his licky on his hanky while we were both at a reception at 10 Downing Street. He seemed to enjoy it. #totp

Because of both Kate Bush and Frida on this episode, I plaited my hair while damp and slept on it, hoping it’d be crimped in the morning. #totp

Rita Coolidge on #totp gives me an excuse to share the sexiest music clip ever.

Yes, I figured that might be the case. Fortunately there is no one actually expecting sex with me. Phew.

Lots of excellent stuff on this year.

Last year, I was at AggieFest when I realised I was probably quite ill indeed. So I’m looking forward to returning this year hopefully in good health.

I have bought my Saturday day ticket already…

It amused me that they’d set a timescale for it when it’s basically the last thing on my mind.

It does feel that I’m lagging behind by not shagging.
