Greatest Show is *better* than Paradise Towers but I love PT even more than I do GS.

I remember, as a boy, when seeing the 1980s Channel 4 repeats of Soap, having to ask why the relationship of Danny and Polly was a problem.

"Some people would object because he's white and she's black."

I don't think I even had a reply, I was do confused.

You shag one sheep...

I remember thinking that about Alan Davies - As Yet Untitled. That it (almost) always allowed people to show the best version of themselves.

Oh I LOVE the music. I've been known to just listen to it. And the script for 3 and 4 has poetry in it.

On a documentary once Gary Barlow said "Agnetha's voice is the sound of ABBA". I just thought how moronic do you have to be to think one solitary thing is the sound of ABBA...

I hope I don't sound like I'm saying 'You shouldn't like that one' but genuinely intrigued by The King's Demons being in there. What's so special for you about that one? Genuine interest since I've not seen it mentioned elsewhere in this discussion.

I was never confused.

Your mate Martin is wrong. Not about them. About the others. Well, most of them.

Anyway, Peter told me about his love of Kate (and Talking Heads and Lou Reed and Pulp) for this Baker's Dozen interview, a slot in which a subject talks about 13 albums they love, for @thequietus.com. thequietus.com/interviews/b...

I'm unhappy about missing Mawdryn and Enlightenment from mine.

I got nowhere doing it with Tom. Too many to chose from.

That would be incredibly kind. And worth a pint at the next one.

I should have taken your kind offer, we didn't manage to get any. My fairy godmother has conjured one up for me but I'm still trying to find another one so we can both go.

Based on the DWM piece, they've done their best to have a new director.

I would like at least one Black Guardian story too.
