Behold the glory that is Gin Corner: 26 gins, 9 liqueurs, garnish, glasses & @GinFoundry's garnish wheel to refer to!

@jsummerly @andrewCDmcg Lovely to hear I’m not alone in thinking it’s even better than Creation! Jacobs’ recording for me - his hunting/wine harvest sequence in particular is a joy.

3.00 Radio 3 Building a Library on Haydn’s The Seasons. ⁦@andrewCDmcg⁩ is waiting for me.

@andrewCDmcg @BBCRadio3 The second subject of the first movement always reminds me of ‘Mes mains ont la parole’, a 1980s French variation on Jackanory (with the stories told in sign language), for which this was the theme tune.

It's one of Mozart's great piano concertos, with a slow movement that's had a life of its own in the cinema...which recordings take us to the heart of No. 21 in C major K467? Pianist Joanna MacGregor joins me for Building a Library at 3pm. Plus new things from 2pm 👇 @BBCRadio3

I have started a rewatch of the Jeremy Brett ‘Sherlock Holmes’ series. Towards the end of ‘A scandal in Bohemia’, Irene Adler confesses to having been trained as an actress. Fellow @allaboutthedame listeners will understand why an alarm immediately sounded in my head …

@HistoryHit @MaddyPelling I was a guest at a party on the south side of Edinburgh a few years, in a Georgian house where the windows at the back where still of the period, but not those at the front. The owners believe they had been smashed by protesters as the house had belonged to Dr Knox.

Burke and Hare: Scotland’s most notorious killers 💥 Join @MaddyPelling & Anthony Delaney on the dark streets of Edinburgh as they investigate this infamous 19th-century murder case. Watch 'The Edinburgh Murders: Burke and Hare' on History Hit now 🎥

An idea for @sixteenthCgirl’s excellent @NotJustTudors podcast: at what point did all the expressions we know from Shakespeare become common parlance? I’m assuming post-First Folio, but wonder if some from the more popular plays might have been picked up sooner.

@SCOmusic Meow! m.youtube.com/watch?v=_emloH…

Do you have a little meow-stro at home or any more cat-inpired classical music factoids to share? Let us know! #internationalcatday2024 🧵4

We've heard it is #InternationalCatDay! 🐾 Did you know that cats have been muses (and menaces) for musicians throughout history? Here is a short thread of examples we can think of...

Stop press: an attempted poisoning by the same method again in the third episode?!

I’m partway through a rewatch of @agathachristie’s #Poirot (with the always excellent @allaboutthedame as a complementary podcast) and have noticed that the murder method for the first two episodes of series 3 is identical. Strange programming quirk?

@MilesWattsFilm @hammerpodheads When is the Vampire Circus episode to be released?

@Ben_Alden_ I’ll be going close(ish) this autumn when I walk the West Highland Way - hopefully with a bit of sunshine too!

Capped an amazing 7 days up in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 with a morning stroll up Ben Nevis 🌤 Sun popped out briefly moments later!

@NotJustTudors @sixteenthCgirl @sallypointer Absolutely fascinating as usual, though I’m not sure how I managed to stomach my breakfast through one utterly horrifying revelation …

What did Queen Elizabeth I actually look like? How was her appearance altered by cosmetics? What products would she have typically used and how were they made? In today's podcast, @sixteenthCgirl finds out more from @sallypointer: podfollow.com/not-just-the-t…

Ten years ago today. What a sight that sunrise was!

SCO Sunday News 🗞️ Today we dive into the depths of musical absurdity... 🐙 From Hoffnung's Musical Chairs to Mozart's 'Musical Joke', we're exploring tangled notes and mischievous melodies as we approach 1 April. 🃏 #SCO #AprilFools 📰 sco.org.uk/musical-jokes

Something for @greg_jenner, @DrJaninaRamirez and @KaeKurd to enjoy post-#YoureDeadToMe?

@FilmhouseEdin They’re (almost) as important as the films!

🌻 SCO SUMMER TOUR RETURNS FOR 2024! 🌻 View all our Summer Tour concerts and destinations here: bit.ly/3J6GONf Booking is available now! Let us know what you are most excited for. 💭 Kindly supported by Eriadne & George Mackintosh and Claire & Anthony Tait.

My only criticism of tonight’s outstanding @SCOmusic concert with #PekkaKuusisto and #AleCarr is that it’s spoilt me for future performances of the Four Seasons. I may even avoid seeing for a while …

@greg_jenner @annieexcuse I’ve come to appreciate Tintin much more as an adult - Asterix was always a lot more fun - but can definitely recommend it. If you ever do a Cold War episode of #YoureDeadToMe, ‘The Calculus Affair’ is a must-read.

@greg_jenner on #YoureDeadtoMe has just made me rethink everything, because I'm pretty sure I thought Disney classic #TheEmperorsNewGroove was set in Egypt?! But could that just be where it settled in my memory having not watched it in 20 years or did I think that then???
