Failed the audition for Blockbusters and still bitter about it.

Mostly ranting about films, old TV, Top of the Pops and The Archers. Nearly halfway through the Crossroads box set!

Perhaps Claire can let us know what happened to Rev Crispin? #TheArchers

#Crossroads episode 3386 … nice to see someone finally questioning the motel’s recruitment policy of handing out key jobs in the motel’s management to random guests they’ve only just met

The special drama to mark the 75th anniversary of #TheArchers has been announced: It's called "The Archers: Truth and Lies" and stars Claire Skinner plus some of the regular cast.

Description of it seems a bit spoilery so I won't quote it but you can see it here:

I’ve just watched the final episode of Francis Durbridge Presents: The Passenger. I hadn’t seen it before, and hugely enjoyed the first two episodes, but wasn’t expecting the final part to go completely apeshit and turn into an early Pertwee Doctor Who story.
