Never knew he was in the armed forces

5 years ago today, @bbcnews lost a legend. @SimonMcCoyTV 🫡

“Be seeing you, won’t I?” Liza Tarbuck’s last goodbye on @BBCRadio2 (Saturday 17th Jan)

Liza Tarbuck’s Saturday slot was my favourite two hours of radio, week in week out. A tremendous run: May 12, 2012 - 17th Jan 2026. The show all regulars hoped would never come to an end. A huge loss to the BBC. Go well Liza.

I’m deeply honoured to receive the Royal Television Society 2026 Special Award. Thank you RTS and many thanks to the great BBC team in Moscow. @RTS_media

@Rob_scar East Tenders

Ah, Albertines, wine bar frequented by many a BBC employee (inc. me) The place where the idea of a eastend soap opera was dreamt up. Sadly no longer with us. Possibly inspired naming Albert Square? Anyway, it’s now a Chicken Bar. Surely could’ve named it McClunkys #eastenders

Two BBC guys seeking pub work in London E20 (preferably in the Queen Vic). Please contact @OwainWynEvans or me. Ahead of EastEnders’ 40th anniversary, here again is our version of Simon May’s classic theme. @bbceastenders

“They’re waiting for more than just me to die… They would like to see us all just pop off like that.” Betty Brown, a 92-year-old former sub-postmaster, worries she will die before she is paid compensation. #Newsnight

Victoria Derbyshire shames the Post Office Minister Gareth Thomas #Newsnight VD, "Just pay her" GT, "Absolutely, I'm very happy to meet with her" VD, "Why don't you just pay 100% of her claim?" GT, "I don't know the details of her claim" VD, "She's 92 years old, what if she dies before you pay her 100%?"

As closing statements were heard at the Post Office inquiry today, we paid an early ‘tribute’ to the great figure at the centre of it all. Saint Paula Vennells…

'From all of us, to all of you. A very happy Christmas'. BBC favourites line up in 1981 to offer seasonal greetings.
