Sad to hear death of Lord Roy Hattersley. In addition to his political career, a great Chair of @BuxtonFestival. Met him number of times after I joined the Board. Condolences to his wife Maggie. (Blurry photo taken during the 2015 festival with the late Sir Gerald Kaufman)

@markesutherland It does seem to have tipped her over the edge. 🤣

“Unforgettable” from Chester Harriott. No wonder Rosemary shot David Hunter at the end of the episode 🤣🤣

Crossroads Fan Club@motelcrossroads

Sticking with a musical theme, here is Ainsley Harriott's father Chester, tinkling in the motel function room at David and Barbara's engagement party. Chester also performed 'Unforgettable' as an instrumental live over the closing captions.

@motelcrossroads @TheNoeleGordon Shame you forgot to credit the late Jackie Trent as co-writer of Where Will You Be

A run-down of the songs featured in Crossroads that went on to tickle the charts. Sue Nicholls, Paul Henry, Stephanie De Sykes, Kate Robbins and Simon May... Shakespeare compared food to music. Well, this Top 40 feast is probably going to give you tune induced indigestion.

This week is Volunteers Week, an annual UK-wide campaign to celebrate and recognise the contributions of volunteers. Proud to have volunteered as a trustee of the @BuxtonFestival since 2018 and @MusicintheRound since 2021. Congratulations to all the volunteers out there.

Very sad to hear the death of Dame Felicity Lott. One of our greatest sopranos, I had the pleasure of seeing her perform a number of times. It was a great pleasure to meet her in 2019 at the @BuxtonFestival Autumn Weekend where she performed Poulenc’s La Voix Humaine. RIP Flott.

Saw In The Print tonight @KingsHeadThtr wonderful portrayal of Rupert Murdoch by Alan Cox & Claudia Jolly's Brenda Dean is stellar. Neil Kinnock sat behind me - will the last person to leave turn out the lights? Go see ... 👏

I give you the golden age of UK telly. There were quite a few blokes like this around when @StephenMoss_TV and I joined the BBC in 1982. And some similar women too to be fair. I well remember the truly formidable Biddy Baxter yelling on network talkback when I worked the live Look North gallery in Newcastle. God help you if you snipped ten seconds off the end of her Blue Peter!
