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

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.
