Just spotted that BBC2 are showing Get Carter tonight at 11pm, so if you're a fan of seeing Alf Roberts get chucked off a car park you're in luck.

Lovely piece on Breakfast, celebrating 60 years since Jackanory was first broadcast.
If the BBC had any sense, they’d put them all on iPlayer.

Make way for Harold Llloyd's Christmas Tree, ya-da ya-da ya-da ya-da-da-da. You'd need more than a pair of glasses and a smile to take in all of that one.

Nothing inexplicable about it. She was, and remains, one of this earth’s most divine creations. A true Goddess. Domestic and otherwise.
