If anyone lost a bag of books from LRB Bookshop on the Metropolitan Line between Baker St- Watford, I handed it to a cleaner when the train terminated at Watford tube station. And if you have far more followers than me, please share this status. LRB bookshop is not cheap!

This could be a good parlour game. I guessed Quilo from the Old curiosity Shop. (Incorrectly.)

I also guessed the wrong person in the frame.

But fun anyhow.

Rewatching this on iPlayer (even though I own it on BluRay - shut up) and it is always funnier, darker and more abstract and ambitious than I remember. It’s not perfect but it’s partly the imperfections that make it beautiful and unique.

Great news - one of the best mini-series ever with a dazzling & eccentric screenplay by Troy Kennedy Martin & superb direction by Martin Campbell is back on iplayer.
If you haven’t seen it then you’re in for a real treat.
Come for Bob Peck, stay for Joe Don Baker.

Yep. Not enough experts. I’ll stick to In Our Time.

Even if it doesn’t survive the retirement of Melvyn there’s plenty I missed.

Have podcasts evolved into a way for those who liked seminars to continue prepping for seminars? Discuss.

A bold decision by my dad to let 8 year old me watch Edge of Darkness with him while my mum was out at her evening class.
Anyway, I genuinely believe the experience did important, excellent things to my pliable, barely comprehending brain & now it is back on iPlayer & well worth watching/rewatching

Once again, all I ask of this world is that it treats me with the strange heart-stopping tenderness of Bob Peck kissing his dead daughter’s vibrator in Edge of Darkness

Not directly related but the photographs in Jonathan Raban’s fantastic Bad Land have a similar energy.

Hideous Kinky by Esther Freud, if you too were raised by hippy light touch parents you might enjoy this.

There are other good songs.

Not many better ones.

Every time I hear this I’m back in Ridley Road. Spending my paper round money on the record stall. I LOVE this record so much.

My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down.
He’s struggling to find any work at the moment.
He’s a brilliant writer and has written for Dangermouse, Private Eye and many more…

If you need a writer have a look at his website and please repost.

The most deliciously lovely sound - listen to Stewart Lee laughing helplessly at Armando Iannucci here.

Chanting at a Travelodge.
