Got tickets to see that noted "one hit wonder" James Taylor at the O2 later this year

I thought a one hit wonder was a group or performer who had one successful record then vanished without trace, not a hugely famous singer who has had a long and successful career, (One hit wonders at the BBC)

"Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Roumania."

-Dorothy Parker

We listened every week. It's my gold standard for Tolkien adaptations

Very often people complain … β€œwhy don’t you play in Cornwall?” Well today Spiers & Boden are coming to the KCM church in Falmouth … so if you think you’re likely to say that in the future … please come along today!

Plenty of tickets left from fixr.co/event/spiers...

Shrews are known for carrying a notebook with them to record all the small joys and memories from their days.
Shrew said they’d let you have a peek inside theirs tomorrow.

You were! Also I think a two level bunk might be a duplex flat

I think the telly show tries to say things, but gets muddled. And it is the Year of the Sex Olympics with no sex. I don't think it's amazing, but I can't hate it either. I lack extreme opinions

Martin Jarvis is fabulous.

Gosh, I disagree with almost everything said about the telly. But that's usual for me. I think I'll pass on the novel.

Driving me mad: where else have I seen this very distinctive Underwater Menace panel? All help gratefully received, but I've made lots of wild guesses already. @doctorwhoprophunt.bsky.social ?@zoesfeatherboa.bsky.social ?

Is there semi-naked wrestling with cannibals? I do hope so!

Casting call! Looking for a woman voice actor, 50+ who is versatile and a vocal chameleon / can play many different bit parts in an audio comedy.

We’re recording in London on 13th & 14th April. This is a paid opportunity. Actor does not need to be autistic!

I think Castrovalva's heroic librarian is worthy of recognition! But then I suppose I WOULD think that.

Thank you! It's Miss Hawthorne and Sergeant Benton solving mysteries in the 1970s. With scones.

Because I like the original and I don't like the idea of making lots of changes to it that aren't adding in deleted scenes, but changing stuff that was there. I did like the Happiness Patrol reboot, but this feels too far for me. Still the original exists, so I'll watch that!

Scratch that, I definitely don't want to see the new version

I'm listening now, and I don't think I want to see the new version.
