Of course if we are going to have to change who goes on the notes it should be Tommy Cooper, Spike Milligan and Kenneth Williams.

Facebook memories from 13 years ago about the TV series Embarrassing Bodies.

Woman with enormous bulbous purple throbbing nose on Embarassing Bodies. Dr Pixie says to her: "Now what have you come to see me about today."

A new thing in politics in recent years is definitely multiple filmed examples of them saying a particular thing, and then them just flat out denying they ever said it despite all the evidence to the contrary. Not a fan tbh!

Another one of the things my mum taped when we got our first VHS recorder!

Green Claws from CBBC.

Green Claws from CBBC.

On this day in 1978 The Incredible Hulk, starring Bill Bixby as David Banner and Lou Ferrigno as his green alter-ego, made its US television debut.

A yellow sign with black writing which reads Herefordshire rural watch with a pictogram of a black scarecrow with yellow eyes and a crow on its hat.
The sign is on a wooden fence with a churchyard and blue sky just visible behind it

Herefordshire rural watch is folk horror

Did you attend any of the pantos that were previously covered in PantoSplaining (at linktr.ee/PantoSplaining)?

If so, let us know! We're planning some episodes based around listeners memories.

Yeah I love the ending, absolutely bonkers!

Watched it for the second time the other day and enjoyed it even more second time around.

Was also pleasantly surprised how good the latest Conjuring film was as wasn't that keen on the third one.

Yeah Sinners I thought was a bit slow going to start with but once it hits it's stride it's great.

Also loved Weapons, Smile 2 and the newest Final Destination.

I loved Sinners. It's a great time for horror at the moment.

Maybe he is actually Basil. Or looking at his X account, possibly even the Major!

Can also recommend In Search Of Darkness which I think was also Shudder.

Faye Dunaway is hysterical in the film. I think it's become something of a camp classic for all the wrong reasons!

Also love the "Tina, bring me the axe!!!" scene.
