Weird how Antifa never asks me for money. Everyone else does, but Antifa is very quiet.

Not me. I see it go past, and sometimes I wave...

Is it wrong if me to believe that 'Double Indemnity' is the sequel to 'Single Indemnity', and that a planned 'Triple Indemnity' was never made?

You mean it's not a script at all? Clever!

My incendiary new spec script is set in a quiet suburb… BUT IT TURNS OUT TO JUST BE A FACADE

He was my boss for a while (by which I mean he was at the top of the food chain, about eight levels above me). Very much admired by his immediate staff, I understand.

Heseltine was the biggest of the big beasts and was always a good media player.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.

Discussing with a friend which Who parts Patricia Routledge could have played.

We settled on Helen A or the Captain from Earthshock. But neither of those should be touched.

However. Imagine her Rani. "Einstein!"

I'm surprised the whole place isn't decorated in black and white...

Peter Anghelides @anghelides.bsky.social · 3d

It is the Tory party conference, though. They remember the 1980s because they’re still living there.

Bluescreen? Showing your age there, mate...

Peter Anghelides @anghelides.bsky.social · 3d

They should bluescreen in more attendees.

Matthew Holehouse @matthewholehouse.bsky.social · 3d

Been to Manchester central complex many times for conferences and rarely has the main hall been so light on outside exhibitors. Lots of padding with empty stands put up by central party

Forty years ago, if you asked someone in Soho where you could find a decent croissant they would assume it was an exotic sex position...

If Strictly had started 40 years ago Fred Dibnah and Bobby Crush would’ve been on it.

Andrew Lane @andylaneauthor.bsky.social · 3d

Where were they forty years ago, when you couldn't throw a sausage roll in Soho without hitting a prostitute, a sex 'club' or a porn cinema. It's paradise now, in comparison.

Near Dark can be hard to find in the US, but it appears to be on Youtube. Of course, I'm in no way encouraging you watch this clearly nefarious upload. This post is strictly informational.

Or is the the eighth adventure of the 5th Doctor and James Macfarlane? I can't remember. But it's set in Persia in 1905 and contains a callback to a story I wrote for one of the Decalog collections.

I've been given a contract by the BBC to write the fifth adventure of the 8th Doctor and James Macfarlane, but it won't be out for a while. I hope that the incandescently talented Mr Starkey will be available to read it out.

Richard Binns @moralavenger.bsky.social · 5d

ON THIS DAY... 6 years ago, The Scent of Blood by Andrew Lane, read by Dan Starkey and The Flight of the Sun God, written by Nev Fountain and read by Nicola Bryant, were both released by BBC Audio.

Well it was touted as a comedy on Youtube... and I am laughing.
