Ahhh!! The flag on the email came out really tiny and appeared to be black, so I was guessing Cornish. No blue or white visible at all!

Perhaps you’d lead the community choir in an appropriate song? A resounding chorus of β€œthey’re going to hang out his innards on the Siegfried line”?

She was excellent, I thought, as was Ruth Wilson.

We weren’t sure about sticking with it after episode 1, but were glad we did. An enjoyable adventure.

Thank you. Very thoughtful of you. Thing is, Lady Nove seems particularly keen to revisit some of S1 in real time. Something about Tom Hiddleston and cheeks, she said.

Part of the problem, I believe, is that quite a lot of what presents as 5G signal is actually 5G in name only, as it’s riding on 4G infrastructure.

Nice place you have here. It would be a pity if something were to happen to it ….

Played it around 09:20 this morning. First music after the ad break. It may not appear on the β€˜recently played’ list because it was a late addition by me.

The Crossroads theme just doesn’t sound right without the ATV ident ahead of it.

Looked very neat on the network COW, but in Scotland (and presumably Wales and NI?)the option that generated that lower line was used to create the Scotland. So a makeshift 888 from the caption generator had to be keyed on when required, often top right of frame.

Colin was a fine, warm presence both on-air and off. It was a pleasure to have known and worked with him at R2 for many years.

I got out of the car one day and it was only when I turned round to see it lock as I walked away that I spotted the banana skin under the driver’s door. I must have missed it by millimetres. I smiled all day along at the thought that I had successfully cheated fate. It’s the simple things …

Rode the New York subway today, surrounded by characters who looked like they belonged in The Sopranos. One with sausage fingers, a huge guy with a bald head and stary eyes and one I didn’t dare look at, but he was probably the clean-up guy.

Which, in a curious way, reminds me of the time, in 1981, when Terry Wogan introduced me - morning newsreader - with a particularly ridiculous impersonation. Opening words of the bulletin - delivered through suppressed giggles: β€œA ship laden with dynamite is on fire in the English Channel”
