So, it seems we are here again. Just eight months after we petitioned, protested and marched, Walsall Council are once again reviving their plans to sell off our historic Leather Museum. This excellent article details the story so far ⬇️ #SaveWalsallLeatherMuseum

The very idea of a sitcom set in a grim Victorian prison seemed to some (like Kenneth Williams) to be a misstep. Who on earth would want to spend time in that environment? Ultimately, Ronnie Barker's performance helped make Porridge a triumph that I will happily keep returning to. 2/2

Ronnie Barker, who passed away 20 years ago today, was a true master of all aspects of TV comedy. My one-time tutor, the late great Ian Davidson, once told me jokingly that 'Ronnie B thought he could do everything better than everyone else... and he was usually right'. 1/2

Sad to hear of the passing of Dame Patricia Routledge, one of our finest comedy and character actresses. Such an amazing career which included bringing to life one of THE great comedy creations, Hyacinth Bucket, and starring in a Broadway musical with Vincent Price 😞

Some people don't like comedy ventriloquism.

But I'm prepared to stick my hand up and say it's gag-gificient.

In our latest episode we discuss the legendary Leyline High episode Harvest Scare-stival from 1984. (You remember? It's the one with the Corn-on-the-Cob Monster that kills the dinnerlady?)

And we also get onto the subject of our favourite autumnal hymns. 🍂

My new venture, making hand-woven Hearth Rugs, got off to a promising start.

But suddenly my business partner decided to do a runner.

The only time I played golf, the ball kept ending up several feet beyond the hole.

And that's putting it mildly.

UK bee and other pollinator populations are dropping rapidly. This is partly due to how many pesticides we use – but it doesn’t have to be this way 🐝

ACTION: Sign the petition and tell the UK government to protect our pollinators.
The UK’s pollinator numbers are dropping heavily - we need the UK government to step in and protect them.
