Meet the woman whose magical music brought Bagpuss to life Sandra Kerr talks to RT about the ultimate storyteller, giggling mice and a new audio drama that captures TV's golden age.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow

A substantial, thoughtful response to the BBC Charter Review green paper from the BBC WAC Campaign (of which I'm a part), focussed on Written Archives Centre issues but more broadly address to questions of trust and transparency. Do please take a look.

Ahhh, thankee Mike! Hope all's well with you and yours!

"Stan" is an exceptionally moving and affectionate play by the multi-talented Neil Brand, someone who's very much attuned to the personal relationship between Laurel and Hardy. Looking forward to hearing it again!

BBC Radio 4 Extra - Stan by Neil Brand Death threatens to separate legendary film duo Laurel and Hardy,...

My radio play 'Stan' is being repeated on R4Extra on March 22nd. Very nice timing, BBC, thankee!

The Future of the BBC... my personal views In December the government published its Green Paper on the future of the BBC and invited responses. These are my views as a licence fee payer but of course I have worked with, on and for the BBC for ...

This is excellent on the BBC and the DCMS Green Paper consultation from Bill Thompson, one of our wisest and deepest thinkers about the future of media. There's much here to reflect on (and steal from) in your own response before end-of-day Tuesday.

Trump has launched a war in the Middle East without our consent, without a plan, without a strategy, and without any clear idea about where it leads or how it ends.

These soldiers have lost their lives because of the Epstein files.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Good to see you Dave!

Fabulous night at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury tonight from this master of his craft. Two and a half hours flew by. Added bonus to get a quick word with him after and get the program signed.

My mother was a dancer and performed on the same bill as L&H during their UK tour after the war

Have great gigs Neil

Cricket was the name of the puppy that Kristi Noem murdered.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
