Doesn’t turn up much. Savage take down of ego and fame. Stars Andy Griffith as a nasty piece of work. Bloody Matlock! Young Walter learning his chops on that one.
Not seen face in the crowd 👀 absolutely agree with you on the other two, absolute master class in acting

Me and Mrs M Watching our comfort blanket film, Hello Dolly. Walter Matthau is a comic acting genius and Barbara glows all the way through. Directed by Gene Kelly. The film was a financial disaster for fox costing as much as Cleopatra to produce, but I love it.

Clearly you were so energetic, you could not be seen by the naked eye.
This is weird. According to the Mail, Express and others I was part of a controversial episode of Saturday Kitchen. Except I wasn't (though the listings wrongly said I was). Is it possible the people who wrote these stories didn't actually watch the show?

As a resident of the Desi heartland of West London, l am not only looking forward to the documentary, l am now also hungry for a mountainous mixed grill.
A few weeks ago I was in Wolverhampton discussing Desi pubs for R4’s Kitchen Cabinet. The talk of kebab platters made me want to eat in one so straight after the record I jumped in a cab to the Desi Yew Tree. Today’s restaurant review.

It’s probably Odyssey’s ‘Native New Yorker’ but very nearly ‘Ten Per Cent’ by Double Exposure.
Greatest disco track ever made? Like all such questions it’s ridiculous and stupid but fun. I say Lost in Music by Sister Sledge. #DiscoFlareOnTheDiscoFlair
