Doris would be happy with that.

Oh well then, good luck to you.

It seems daunting, but there's a link to very helpful advice from the pro-public service campaign British Broadcasting Challenge. And you DON'T have to answer all the questions.

Please save us the BBC from The World's Six Richest Men taking our broadcasting.

That's interesting, I've never seen that shot before. I assumed they'd handed over all promo duties to the robots by 1982.

That's precisely what Murdoch/Bezos etc want you to think. Please, it's worth the time, you don't have to answer all the questions and the article links to helpful advice on how to ensure it's funding and future.

In a just world that would be on the cover of a Bob Stanley compilation.

It was on a film, but I was behind-the-scenes!

You in another decade...

Your regular reminder of the absolute goldmine treasure trove of wireless that is Radio Echoes. Hitchhikers; On The Hour and 1000s more xx

I know, but we have to keep a little joy in our hearts. Burnt out people don't have the energy to fight for anybody else.

I'm making a note of that, thanks x

As a child I always thought/assumed that "Trieste" was a mythical undersea kingdom. It sounds like it anyway.

Yes, counterintuitive at the moment in fact!

Thank you! I'm normally a Don't Bother With It sort but this year I feel like bear-hugging and running down the beach hand-in-hand with it.

And I can imagine the joy at the @grindrod.bsky.social breakfast table when they turn to the book reviews. Wonderful.

Thank you. I worked with the girlfriend of one of them on Sexy Beast and I felt a twinge of guilt at how I felt. I'm sure they're Lovely Blokes.

Diane Morgan interviewed.

Diane Morgan interview: The song that changed my life Probably The Container Drivers by the Fall. I was always more into comedy than music. I found bands that took themselves really seriously embarrassing. When I discovered the Fall it was a complete revelation. The lyrics were just so funny and mundane.

Thank you to The Saturday Guardian for kicking off my birthday week celebrating three of my favourite English things: Alan Bennett, Diane Morgan and The Container Drivers by The Fall.

I bet Miami Vice had something to do with it.

Wow that's a heck of a thing to have experienced.

I must say I admire the man from Hot Chip for wading through two foot of slurry on his way to the photoshoot.

I've never read her but I aim to change that pronto.

GOD YES. They're playing my town at some Retro Fest in May and I bet they're already arguing over when they get to do that bloody hit. Liz Truss's favourite group says it all.

Oh I see, I'd forgotten about that. It's all a bit of a blur and I eventually lost patience with the sidekick.

I love it even more than Tap these days. Also when Rush did the "We both like soup" routine in their documentary I was like 😍😍

Oh and I loved the bit for the people at the back, who may still have been ambivalent about the victim's Jewishness, where we discover his being wounded at Okinawa.

Fair enough, mind you meth never seemed like a fun party drug to me so I guess our realms of experience are quite different!

Congratulations, that sounds fascinating.

It sure found its home in Saltburn.

I mean, that's an interesting criticism of something.

Can you really not imagine that other countries don't have free healthcare?
