It started 30 years ago, what?? @hardingradio with football scores on Viking Sport on Viking Gold RT

From The Masters - Produced in 1986 by LBS for Ocean Sound (now @ThisIsHeart).

Thanks to everyone who tuned into Thunderbirds Are 60. We originally thought it’d only be about 4 parts, but it’ll clearly be much longer. Part Five will be a real challenge: the untold story of how APF struggled to get any complete episodes in the can.

Thunderbirds Are 60 Part Four is now on YouTube. This covers the production of the hour-long pilot, to the bombshell at Christmas 1964 that, after months of filming, they’ll have to rethink the series format. Includes previously unseen / unheard material.

@flyfour @tonyblackburn @BBCRadio2 @Ofcom Licenced fee payers have already paid for it . Someone should buy the material and launch it on DAB

@tonyblackburn @BBCRadio2 @Ofcom Tony, you never reply to this point, but I'll ask again - if the archive material is so good, why can't it it just go online for everyone to enjoy at their leisure? Why does it have to be turned in to a linear station?

Reading RadioToday which is the industry online service for all things going on in the radio Industry every day a new radio station seems to come on but still @BBCRadio2 is not aloud to expand and have Radio2 Extra which I know would be fabulous. It seems so unfair that @Ofcom stops us from providing a service for the older generation with great music and much more fabulous archive material which only the BBC has. Such a shame. And so unfair not to allow competition.

BBC complaints process utterly unfit. On one matter, BBC chose not to publish its own verdict of ‘systemic failure’; and, on another, Exec Complaints Unit tells me it “does not carry out its own investigatory work”. @Telegraph

The 6o’clock @bbcnews is incomprehensible. Far too much bias

Good to see BBC News graphics now know how to spell Cyprus. Just need to send out a small supply of shirts and ties for reporters ‘on scene’

In response to popular demand - well, a couple of people asked - here’s a video of the event I chaired last week about the future of public service media. Featuring Pat Younge, @ShelaghFogarty, Peter Salmon & @benfenton. youtu.be/7gbFAa4xbxU?si…

@rogermosey Excellent thanks for the reply

@hardingradio It will be on YouTube soon.

I was impressed that 150 people turned out on a wet and chilly night to discuss the future of public service broadcasting. Whether you’re pro or anti BBC, this is a debate that needs to be had in a time of digital media revolution.

@la_riviere This well worth a watch!!

20 years ago (ouch) I flew Alexandra Bastedo and William Gaunt out to Los Angeles to reunite with Stuart Damon — the first time The Champions had reunited since the end of the show.

A great guy - Alan Canvess @HullCAMRA

The new Jocks Lodge junction just outside Beverley is a @East_Riding county embarrassment - massive delays. Tens of millions of pounds of wasted investment

Now live:

A must watch!!

THIS CAMERAMAN DESERVES A RAISE. THIS IS PERFECTION.

Its amazing how damn accurate Yes Prime Minister was as a series when it comes to exposing corruption and cover ups in government. As the video states, this could be Starmer and Mandelson or any number of things. Worth a watch 👇👇

Shame the @BBC coverage of the Winter Olympics isn’t titled ‘Olympic Grandsrand’

Good to finally see a serious politician this morning on tv and radio not putting up with the media set agenda about Labour - Douglas Alexander should be on every morning media round to challenge ‘the media agenda’

We’re on it! Another @eybuses Go Anywhere ticket and despite no traffic management in centre of Beverley or on the outskirts of the town there’s a packed X46 bus heading into the great city of Hull … but then to where? The power of a coin toss will decide!
