I think it's aged rather well considering the first series is nearly 23 years old!

There's an episode of 'Foyle's War', where Fox plays the son of a wealthy company owner. It ultimately turns out that not only is his character the murderer, but also a rapey, abusive and very passionate Nazi sympathiser.

I've always wanted to ask him what drew him to that part!

I'm almost surprised that no-one has yet taken the premise of Jerry Lewis' infamous film 'The Day the Clown Cried' and turned that into a novel.

Yes, new resident at the North Norfolk Railway. Hopefully will haul her first ever passenger trains at Easter.

Not bad for a loco that spent many years hidden in a shed in the grounds of a convent in Hertfordshire!

A program about sausage skins and aviation? That sure sounds like a gas! 😉

First railway in the world to be overhyped? 🤔

Tom Lehrer famously said that Political satire became obsolete when they awarded Henry Kissinger the Nobel Peace Prize.

This decision feels almost as mind-boggling in some ways 🤔🤨

Funnily enough, Marshall were a manufacturing firm from Gainsborough who made, among other things, traction engines.

Always makes me chuckle when I see 'marshall' written instead of martial!

By 'device', they always just mean 'bomb' or 'explosive' don't they? Bomb squad called, everyone out of the building etc.

Why can't it ever be 'Hey, we found an original Enigma machine in the basement, no need for the bomb squad, anyone wanna come down and have a look at it cos it's really cool?!"

All 4 styled by Giovanni Michelotti. The man who designed variants of the Ferrari Daytona, the Leyland National Bus and seemingly anything inbetween. A remarkable automotive legacy.

Crikey, it'll be 30 years in February won't it? That's quite staggering when you think about it.

And after all this time, not much has come close to holding a candle to 'The Holy Bible'. It's undoubtedly still one of the most raw, unadulterated pices of audible media I've ever encountered.
