I am SO glad that the final episode of series 2 of Dinosaur ended like that. I’ve also worked with some Declans, they’re great. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

After months working on the Isle of Wight, Nina must choose between what she thinks she should do and what she really wants. Should she cancel her plans with Lee?

Paul Williams because he was a soundtrack to growing up (my Mum had this album) and he was always great on the Muppet Show. Night folks.

Small Prophets

Stop: look away now if you have not watched Small Prophets (BBC iPlayer). This is not a review, by the way; it’s more of a meandering personal response. I knew I was in as soon as I saw that Michael’s car in Small Prohets was a Ford Capri. I couldn’t tell you if it was a Mk II or a…

Stop: look away now if you have not watched Small Prophets (BBC iPlayer). This is not a review, by the way; it’s more of a meandering personal response. I knew I was in as soon as I saw that Michael’s car in Small Prohets was a Ford Capri. I couldn’t tell you if it was a Mk II or a Mk III, I’m no expert, but a Ford Capri was one of my sliding doors moments.

Sad to see that Andrew Ranken has died. I never saw The Pogues but Andrew was the kind of player who would also crop up at The Klinker and elsewhere. As you might expect: a force of nature.

Very enjoyable podcast and now looking forward to hearing the next selection.
I started a podcast. It’s called Six Things. Each month, a guest brings six things and we talk about them. It’s as simple as that. Massage your ears with the first episode, featuring @joannawyld.bsky.social’s fine selection. Available on your favoured ear-massaging platform.

Some mudlarking finds survived for centuries in the muddy banks of the River Thames. Others are freshly baked tasty snacks. 🍪

This biscuit (cookie) set recreates ten of the 350+ mudlarked objects in London Museum's Secrets of the Thames exhibition.

The exhibition closes on 1 March. Don’t miss it!

I see the RSC Cyrano is transferring to London. Can highly recommend it if you need a really good honest heart cleansing weep at live theatre. Susannah Fielding is the feistiest Roxanne too.

“The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.” Wm Shakespeare

Fabulous that this project got nominated for a Grammy (large jazz ensemble category) sadly didn’t win but it brought a lot of joy to a lot of the musicians involved.

If you happen to be Near East Quay galleries in Watchet there’s and exhibition of the amazing modern glass art of Pinkie Maclure (the opening night party has now passed). Wish I lived closer, I think it’s free to visit.

My local rail line (London Northwestern) returns to public ownership tomorrow. Only found out yesterday so it will be interesting to see if anything changes. (Regular cancellations of late night trains from Euston on Fridays and weekends)

Ten years ago, inspired by the return of my childhood interest in birds, I set myself a target: see 200 British species in a year.

The result was my book Why Do Birds Suddenly Disappear?

Through 2026 I’ll be revisiting it, month by month. Here’s January.
