I'm holding out hope for this.
Better than that, make it the badger from Bodger and Badger and make Mashed Potato Day a thing. Churchill would is memoralised enough I don't think he gives a shit tbh
Ian Undercover blocked me for saying "Undercover's cover of Baker Street. Looks and sounds like a Bobby Davro sketch nobody had thought through". Touchy little so and so. Should have made a better record then, shouldn't you.
"I'm a Firestarter/and my stories must be told...".
Medieval Srisps.
I'm sorry, the correct wrong answer only is BUY CRISP.
Churchill should be replaced not just on banknotes but essentially on pretty much everything by George Cole presenting Heggarty Heggarty.
@benbaker.bsky.social Name a crisps. Wrong answers only!!!!12
I paid for it with the response from his fans.
He never blocked me even after that MASSIVE scrap I had with him. Although he really did seem rattled when I produced receipts to prove he had indeed blocked 11 O'Clock Show material from a documentary I'd worked on. I suspect he was probably very cautious about what further ammo he gave to people.
Top Of The Box Vol. 2 - the story behind every album released by BBC Records And Tapes. No, genuinely. I listened to them all. Even the one that's just bells.

Most people in the UK won't remember Shelley Duvall's high concept actorly visually ambitious folklore anthology Faerie Tale Theatre, but it was so prestigious that over here, Channel 4 showed it as a 'proper' drama. Here's @gfrancie.bsky.social's thoughts on it.

Rod Hull and Emu might get reduced down to that clip of them deservedly knocking Parky off his chair, but honestly, it's hard to get across just *how* anarchic Emu's Broadcasting Company really was. Here's me and @whenisbirths.bsky.social having a go...

Never mind in the heart of Transylvania - there's plenty of us out here in the real world, myself and @alkennedy.bsky.social included, who actually preferred Count Duckula to Danger Mouse... *ducks*

Definitely worth listening to for my attempt at doing an impression of DI Burnside alone!
1986 Children's BBC gangland thriller Running Scared was so unrelentingly grim that it used actual authentic 'villain' slang without explaining it. Here's @markreckons.bsky.social on being confused by the menacing references to 'bins'.

Why did @emmaburnell.bsky.social wish that Mrs. McCluskey was her actual real life non-fictional headmistress, even if it would have meant her uncharacteristically moderating her language to 'flippin' eck!'? Find out in this...

Watch with @emmaburnell.bsky.social on Grange Hill, @markreckons.bsky.social on Running Scared, @alkennedy.bsky.social on Count Duckula, @whenisbirths.bsky.social on Emu's Broadcasting Company and @gfrancie.bsky.social on Faerie Tale Theatre.

Gary Bainbridge (@garybainbridge.bsky.social) joins me for a chat about Captain America: Brave New World. It's got unsubtle satire, a plot callback to a box office bomb and one very inconsistent character, and we enjoyed it but aren't sure *why*...

My own Prisoner title sequence would involve a street cleaning buggy, a very surprised Cotswolds Town Clerk and me falling backwards into a river while pretending to fight an inflatable hippo.
During the seventies, Denys Fisher Toys secured the rights to pretty much every television programme and celebrity going and slapped them onto games that were essentially just flashy Ludo. This is what happened when I played all of them. Well, apart from one...

The Larks Ascending - a history of comedy on BBC Radio 3. It's like a lost world of humour hidden away in the small print in Radio Times.

It's understandable that the Bond contributions and the later Oscar-winning scores tend to overshadow John Barry's earlier beat-boom era soundtrack work, but a good deal of it really is tremendous and here are some quick thoughts on where to start...

With huge thanks to @pablovich.bsky.social for standing in as host, here's me on what The Magic Roundabout is and why I love it so much.

If you love Press Gang, then you have a lot of reason to be grateful to Stephen O'Brien - a viewer who actually became involved with the show. You can hear all about his fascinating story - including how Steven Moffat discovered Blur - here...

Why do we still find Bagpuss every bit as haunting - in a positive sense - as we did at the time it was first broadcast? Steve O'Brien shares his thoughts on some of the possible reasons here...

One of the main reasons Grange Hill was so popular was that there was always a character or two that you secretly wished you could actually go to school with. So who did John Rain.want to team up with for a slice of the moneymaking mischief action?
timworthington.org/2025/05/08/t...
Orm And Cheep - a nervous flightless bird and a more worldly-wise worm who aspired to, erm, sing - were kindly puppet pals who cared for all of their forest friends. So why did Juliet Brando want their natural predators to intervene??

With @sliderulesyou.bsky.social on Orm And Cheep, @johnrain.co.uk on Grange Hill, Steve O'Brien on Bagpuss, Stephen O'Brien on Press Gang and @outonbluesix.bsky.social - with a little help from @pablovich.bsky.social - on The Magic Roundabout.
