Barry Cryer... A Celebration - Beyond The Title So, our Barry Cryer special reaches its conclusion with this all star documentary celebration of the great man, delivered perfectly by his son Bob. I’m so grateful to him for giving his time to delive...

As a grateful recipient of several Old Baz congratulatory phone calls, I highly recommend Josh Barry's celebration of Barry Cryer - with added Bob Cryer.

Sorry (not sorry😁) for being boringly repetitive, but another belter of an episode. Mark's choices were pretty niche i thought but it's the stories about where they come from that got me invested in them. Then Neil's musical deconstruction of them........well, what more needs to be said πŸ‘.

All these countries or people say they have access to the files pictures and videos, any day would be a good for its release.

Hurrah! Booked to see @neilkbrand.bsky.social with @monsterfromid66.bsky.social (and hub, who I've not yet met) in Edinburgh in a couple of months' time. I've not seen Neil in real life in about 10 years, so looking forward to it! 🎬

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.

"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!

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.

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.
