On #InternationalPetDay, Morley (in croissant mode here) says hi.

In summary then, Melania's address:

@hellothisisivan All of the Phileas Fogg snacks were AMAZING. No other tortillas have ever compared to theirs.

Phileas Fogg Mignons Morceaux, or the longer-lived Waitrose version

Easter Sunday's #SwitchBack takes you back to the UK Top 40 Singles Chart of this week in 1996! Join me now for 2 hours of hits big and small from that on @switch_radio. Listen on 107.5FM or DAB in Birmingham, or stream wherever you are via switchradio.co.uk

@Blakes7Diary Me too, actually. So much joy to spring from 2 old episodes of silly old Who eh? Mind you, I did have the joy sucked out of it just now when I supidly ventured onto the GB forums to find Jon Blum going on and on about Mavic Chen and racism, blah blah..

I can’t stop thinking about her. #DoctorWho

@martang66 Maybe his wig needed a recharge - it was looking quite sensible at that point, which was out of step with most of the episode.

If the Doctor hadn't been so desperate to electrocute people, Katarina would still be alive today

@ChrisChapman81 @filmisfabulous I hope they have some idea of how this recovery has finally let us see what a brilliant performance she gave. Every comment I see has - quite rightly - mentioned her extremely favourably.

I spent a lot of today with Adrienne Hill's family at the @filmisfabulous DMP event and I can report that they LOVED seeing the recovered episodes - of course!

@NothingLane But on the other hand, we got to see more of Billy's roughed up wig than we could have dreamed of!

Aww. Finally we get to see Devil's Planet and we find out that we always saw far more of the Screamers in the blurry photo we had for years than we do in the actual episode! 🤣

@claytonhickman She was incredible, a beautifully nuanced performance that obviously wasn't evident from the audio.

Everything was a total delight (God bless you Dougie C!) but the unexpected cleverness of the moving torches in this model shot was *chef’s kiss* And Katarina is BRILLIANT! So sweet. And her and Hartnell have an adorable little rapport. Ah Adrienne. How we underestimated ye…

@Mike_Batt I honestly think that my love of so many different types of music is down to me playing 20 Wombling Greats (on the old dark blue Pickwick label) over and over again when I was a kid. Almost every genre of music is on there and it taught me to enjoy it all!

Wow! thanks David. Sometimes I feel Underappreciated and Over-appreciated, (Wombling Free) but often the former. Folks like you take some of the pain out of the overarching feeling I experience which is that people see me as a bit of a lightweight compared to my more “serious” colleagues and contemporaries. I know it’s bollocks but it sometimes hurts. Thanks for appreciating! 🙂🙏🎶

I’ve decided to return today! Will be in the big Tesco in Wigan at 12 signing Bibles

As a fan of the Azzurri I am disappointed but not surprised to see them fail in the World Cup playoffs yet again. This is the poorest squad in my lifetime I reckon.

@JonnyG @helenc77 There definitely should be a proper show covering all bases. I am seriously tempted to do such a thing.....

@NoaxNOW @helenc77 ..and then you have Sounds of The 90s on R2 focusing on boy/girl bands/bubble gum pop (basically Fearne's record collection)

Giving #forgotten90s a go tonight to fill the #forgotten80s void

@hellothisisivan It is brilliant, and in a similar vein I have always loved the segue from 'Super Trouper' into the 'Stars Theme' on 'Stars on 45 Volume 2'.

The segue from Cantina Band to the Force Theme on the disco Star Wars single is I think one of the greatest moments in music ever

@footballfinery Caveat: I'm not a Newcastle fan but that looks like it says 'Warren Barton' to me!

Monday morning quiz for Newcastle United fans… We’ve picked up a 1993–95 Newcastle United home shirt signed by Sir Bobby Robson… and one other signature we can’t identify. Robson obviously wasn’t at the club in that era, so likely signed later when he was manager outside the ground. Any ideas who the other signature is? Would massively appreciate any help or reshares from the NUFC community 🙏 #NUFC #NewcastleUnited #VintageFootballShirts #FootballShirts #MatchWorn #FootballMemorabilia #ShirtCollectors #FootballAutographs

@hellothisisivan Well, thank goodness! Where else would we get our Larry Grayson content?

Today would have been my 20th anniversary if I hadn’t been left back in November. Anyway, somehow, I’m still here

@bluejeanbaby01 You look a bit like Davina McCall, and somehow also a bit like Janet Ellis!

Good evening 70s chums. Here's 15 year old me in 1979 looking considerably older 😂 #sts70s

#Tudor gone

@hellothisisivan I watched the lot (well, except the 2 or 3 they didn't show for some reason) when Rewind repeated it a while ago and was mostly disappointed. Even the one I remembered loving at the time (the 'what if Timothy never existed one) was underwhelming. And John Leeson is terrible in it

Watching an episode of Sorry!, which has a bizarre quality due to Ronnie Corbett (in his 50s but playing a character aged 41 with suspiciously dark hair) seeming the same age as his possessive mother (Barbara Lott, just 10 yrs older than Corbett)
