What a dirty little fucking piece of shit carrier bag this is. Should be ashamed of itself.

A carrier bag with the words ‘This carrier bag is 100% degradable’ written on it.

For years I’ve been bemoaning the fact you couldn’t stream Moonlighting anywhere in the UK and the DVDs were out of print and stupidly expensive. Well, @christhebarker.bsky.social has made me aware it’s ALL now on the STV app. Have at it.

My favourite is: Jimmy McGovern refreshed the police procedural by focusing on criminal psychologist Fitz (Robbie Coltrane’s career-best role) who gets results despite or because of his own personality disorders. No notes. Perfect. Despite or because of the way that it is written.

“How did you know?” I asked.

With a twinkle, he replied: “In all my years working on computer magazines, only the fans call me Mr Bidmead, rather than Chris.”

Rest well!

RIP Christopher H Bidmead. I once did a brief stint as sub editor on ComputerActive magazine. Chris came into the office one day to have a chat with the editor.

I approached him and said: “Mr Bidmead, I just wanted to say hello.”

“Ah! A Doctor Who fan!” He responded.
