Sad news.

Coincidentally, I was watching a 1967 episode of Doctor Who last week. Patrick Troughton played the Doctor, who meets a character played by Pauline Collins, during The Faceless Ones story.

Several episodes are animated, but a couple of the live action originals exist.
Pauline Collins, star of Shirley Valentine, dies aged 85
Her family said she died peacefully in her London care home having had Parkinson's for several years.

Day 21 of Bonfire Night.... 🎇

It was one night only when I was growing up - I sound like Victor Meldrew 😪 - but many seem to have forgotten about Guy Fawkes and who he was.

A random spin on the calendar to find what was No 1 in the UK charts on this day in....

1968

Those Were The Days by Mary Hopkin

A very known song. However, I was unaware that Paul McCartney was the producer. It was Hopkins' debut single, which spent 6 weeks in the top spot

As Larry says: Happy National Cat Day to cats (and their humans) in the United States🐱
Wishing all my friends in the United States a happy National Cat Day. We don't have a National Cat Day in the UK, just a National Cat. Me.

Quote Post a song that always makes you smile, no matter how down you are:

Talking Body by Tove Lo

A really catchy tune, but the feel good factor is in Tove Lo's live performance (she flashes) but it's not about nudity; it's about celebration of overcoming trauma

(This isn't the live performance)

Hi Marc @66marck.bsky.social , apologies for not sending this in a DM, but I can't access them.

Yes, doing the RainTop10 challenge again would be good. However, I've become a full-time carer. Therefore, I don't think that I would be able to contribute to replies or the playlists like last year(1/2)

Shout by Lulu

Just dawned on me that this(Lulu's cover version) was released 60 years ago(1965, maybe 1964 as internet contradicts itself). Now an iconic song intro, in the UK.

Day 22 prompt: sweet

Be Sweet by Japanese Breakfast

(btw, Google AI, ignoring my video search query, says: Japanese Breakfast is steamed rice, miso soup, grilled fish, and various side dishes like pickled vegetables and a cooked vegetable dish)
