How it started... How it's going... 🤵‍♂👰❤️

@TheAnorakZone @whydontyoutube @woodg31 @OffTheBill_ Nothing on Genome?

@therealrobcook @whydontyoutube @woodg31 @OffTheBill_ I should have completed the guest casts by the weekend... HOWEVER... two episodes aren't on YT, so I'll need to dig further.

A daytime game show of silly improv games around words and phrases presented by Kenny Everett with guests including Barry Cryer, Jan Ravens, Danny Baker and Carol Vorderman? It happened, somehow - Gibberish, today in 1992. youtube.com/watch?v=IEqCui…

@YorkshireJack5 It is 😞

@therealrobcook I'n recent months l've re-watched Shetland, The Bay, Patience, Ellis and The Chelsea Detective. I'm waiting in eager anticipation for the next series of each. So long to wait, when one binges a series.

Last week, I finished off Series 5 of The Bay to bring me up to date for the very first time. This week, I've ploughed through Series 10 of Shetland. It's nice to finally catch up on some shows 🙂

@TheAnorakZone @whydontyoutube @woodg31 Thanks for sorting! I'll hunt down the Lisa Maxwell episodes for @OffTheBill_ 😁

@therealrobcook @whydontyoutube @woodg31 Hmmmm... haven't done all of the cast credits yet, but so far it does appear that they only have a dozen guests. With six guests per show, I don't know if that's enough variety over 40 episodes. I like everyone on it okay, but there's a lot of similar panels.

@Mr_Ben_Adams @OffTheBill_ Ha! I did not know that 🙈

@OffTheBill_ @therealrobcook Never seen that. I can tell it’s set in the north as that’s Booths supermarket (like Waitrose but posher!)

Larry Dann (Sgt. Alec Peters) as Ray in the short film Drive (1999). #TheBill #OffTheBill #Drive #LarryDann #AlecPeters

I can't wait to watch Joanna Lumley filling in for Terry Wogan on... Parkinson? 🙈

Recorded on our Sky box since before the first lockdown in 2020 (😳), I've finally watched the last season of the fantastic Homeland. Cracking top rate drama 😁 Also scarily, the last time I watched this was in 2018, just before our house move 😬

Brian Bovell (DC Rob Thatcher) as John's Uncle in the Bridgerton episode 'The Beyond' (2026). Thanks to @empalmer09 for the spot. #TheBill #OffTheBill #Bridgerton #BrianBovell #Netflix

With all the horrible stories and updates coming from Kent, it’s worth sharing my Meningitis story. Know the symptoms, be vigilant and trust your instinct. 💙 meningitisnow.org/meningitis-now…

Look familiar? The Snow Hill Police Station in the classic computer game 'The Getaway' was modelled after the Merton Sun Hill building. Insode, the front office and canteen in particular look very familiar... #TheBill #OffTheBill #TheGetaway #gaming #SunHill

This was my incredible view of two friends enjoying a pair of long-lost Doctor Who missing episodes recovered by @filmisfabulous BBC News asked for Peter to sit alone, but the great man insisted @TobyHadoke share this special experience with him. Donate 🙏 filmisfabulous.org.uk/the-film-is-fa…

Icons everywhere in this CITV 90s clip. Melissa Joan Hart, Zig and Zag and Claudia Winkleman.

@PaulCDunnEsq I picked a batch of 8th Dr CDs in Oxfam last year and I am working through the monthly releases on BookBeat at the moment. Only CDs I am buying new at the moment are The Worlds of Blakes 7 releases.

I used to collect all the Big Finish Doctor Who releases but the increase in releases and life generally means I pick and choose now. Does anyone get everything and if you don’t what’s your criteria for what you buy?

Tony Benn: 'Don't Arab and Iraqi women weep when their children die?'. His speech during the House of Commons debate on going to war in Iraq - 17 February 1998. One of greatest anti war speeches of all time: “I was in London in the blitz in 1940, living in the Millbank tower, where I was born. Some different ideas have come in since. And every night, I went down to the shelter in Thames house. Every morning, I saw dockland burning. Five hundred people were killed in Westminster one night by a land mine. It was terrifying. Aren't Arabs terrified? Aren't Iraqis terrified? Don't Arab and Iraqi women weep when their children die? Does bombing strengthen their determination? What fools we are to live in a generation for which war is a computer game for our children and just an interesting little channel for news item. Every Member of Parliament tonight who votes for the Government motion will be consciously and deliberately accepting responsibility for the deaths of innocent people if the war begins, as I fear it will. Now that's for their decision to take. But this is a quite unique debate. In my parliamentary experience, where we are asked to share responsibility for a decision we won't really be taking, with consequences for people who have no part to play in the brutality of the regime which we are dealing with.”

I was deeply privileged to interview @purves_peter for @filmisfabulous at their surprise screening of two recovered long-lost Doctor Who episodes. Celebrating this wonderful actor & being part of his very special day is a life highlight 🙏 Our article 👇 filmisfabulous.org.uk/exclusive-pete…

My lunchtime viewing reaches 1985's Edge of Darkness. I've been wanting to watch this series since reading an article about it in TV Zone Magazine, many years ago...
