Ever since I started my #Dangerfield (re)watch in 2022, my single memory of the series was a scene on a driving range at night. I finally reached it this week in Series 5, Episode 2 "The Long Weekend".
The idea of heading off to the driving range in the evening fascinated me as a kid! 🙈🏌♂️⛳️

Before I hit the Christmas reads, I plumped for The Body on the Doorstep by A.J. Mackenzie, a solid historical read for autumn nights.

Michael Parkinson's 1981 interview with Goldie Hawn features some very tight close ups of both Goldie and Parky which feels very odd, especially compared to the other interviews in the episode with Thora Hird and John Blashford-Snell (and other editions of the era). #ThrowbackThursday

Finished watching four parter The Game this evening.
The second half was much better and pacier shown by me watching the last two episodes in as many evenings when it took me four months to get through the first two 🙈
Great to see Robson Green as the villain.

Sad to hear Jack Shepherd has passed away.
He was great in Wycliffe in the 90's and I was lucky to see him on stage in Ipswich alongside Terrence Hardiman a few years back, their Q&A afterwards was an added bonus.

It was great to read my first Rebecca Tope novel of the year recently 🙈
This moment had been prepared for as the photo had been taken last November 🙊
Do you prep book photos in advance?

Last weekend at the Ipswich Book Festival, @empalmer09.bsky.social and I were also honoured to interview Vaseem Khan about his novels, including The Girl In Cell A and Quantum of Menace.
This was the first time Vaseem had seen his new Q book in hardback!

Tim Sullivan also directed some early 90's episodes of the great Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series, so I did sneak in a question about that 😉

I wanted a quick read towards the end of last week so plumped for another #Emmerdale novelisation.
A little underwhelming was this one. It felt like the scraps of un-novelised storylines were used to cobble this together.
