@UKPRES1 @woodg31 Yes you’re right. It was The Return of Shelly, as it was around 1992.

@harmerp @woodg31 Was it return is shelly?

Back in 1983 everyone was tuning into Shelly for some Riveting comedy, he having dinner, in start of today episode

The excitement of the #Mastermind final was somewhat punctured by my wife’s: “That’s a Marks and Spencer’s top”.

This is all too much. #mastermind

I found the box with all my singles in. A flexi-disc from Smash Hits. Not sure I’ll risk my stylus.

I wasn’t expecting to see Phillip and Holly in Ted Lasso.

"Last night I sat down and tried to make a list of the truly great British bands of the 1980s. Bands whose recordings and influence would endure. After nearly an hour I was staring at a sheet of paper with only one name on it: The Smiths” RIP Andy Kershaw.

@msloobylou You have inspired me now. I am going up in the loft this weekend and I am bringing all of my Smiths’ 12”s down.

@harmerp That case has been in my loft for 25 years

Am playing Sort My Life Out next week

@msloobylou I can’t remember where they came from? The Panic 12”?

@harmerp I found the matching Smiths (no The) sticker last week, all the stick had gone!

Contestant on Sara Cox’s show saying ‘haitch’. And she’s a primary school teacher! Shudders.

I really miss Liza Tarbuck.

@Smiths_history I was singing ‘Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear’ only yesterday!

13th April 1987 - The Smiths release the rather wonderful 'Sheila Take a Bow'. Some great b-sides on this as well. #TheSmiths

@msloobylou Nice summation. I would say ‘exactly, yes’.

@harmerp Every character seems to be a weaker version of a previous one

We gave #TwentyTwentySix three episodes. I think that’s enough.

The Nicola Sturgeon episode of #theassembly is so much better than the Stephen Fry one.

On the train back from London we sat next to a really engaging girl who had been to see the #redroses at Twickenham. I love the fact this team is bringing a whole new generation of women to rugby

A pigeon got into our house, caused devastation and terrified the dogs.

@msloobylou Brilliant. Thanks for sharing that!

That VOICE 👌

@PeterBradshaw1 Masterpiece! Makes me want to go straight back and watch it again for the umpteenth time.
