I just caught the end of the 1958-1959 ‘Dial 999’ TV series on highly esteemed UK channel Talking Pictures TV.
‘DIAL 999’ was produced by Harry Alan Towers.
“Now there,” as I wrote in my 2014 blog about him, “was a man with a life like a movie plot”…

I'm a guest on this episode of #ReelBritannia podcast. It's worth a listen if only to hear Glynis Johns referring to her "buzzy" on several occasions.

After a long absence, Soho Bites will be returning in the New Year! Hurrah! In preparation for an interview for the next episode, I'm reading a scholarly article about pornography. Does it make me very immature to find this citation funny? #ooer #fnaarfnaar sohobitespodcast.com

THREAD: You may have noticed that there hasn’t been an episode of Soho Bites for many months now. This is because, now that I’m freelance, I have to prioritise work that pays and, sadly, Soho Bites just doesn’t do that 1/3

Very sad to hear the news that Barry Fantoni died last month. Baz made several contributions to the podcast including talking about "Smashing Time" in episode 19: sohobitespodcast.com/episode/19. I hope he managed to hang on until after 5pm on the day he died for one last G&T.
The Eye is sad to record the loss of Barry Fantoni, who died on 20 May 2025 aged 85 in Turin.
An appreciation of his extensive contribution to Private Eye, with examples of his illustrations and cartoons, and memories from his friends and colleagues appears in the current issue.

Tonight was the final London Live News at 6 programme.
