@RodneyMarshall1 Thank you.

@FlatCapFenMan Fair enough.

TV theme tune composers. Number 1: Ron Grainer. The Australian created some memorable 'earworms' across a range of genres: Maigret, Doctor Who - with the key support of Delia Derbyshire - Steptoe and Son, The Prisoner, Man in a Suitcase, Tales of the Unexpected and Shelley.

@RodneyMarshall1 Barry Gray 😀

@FlatCapFenMan Who did you want included, Train Man?

@daveainsworth63 @TalkingPicsTV Excellent choice as always sir.

Film of the day - Last Holiday (1950) Excellent black comedy written by J. B. Priestley starring Alec Guinness, Kay Walsh, Beatrice Campbell, Brian Worth, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Sid James, Esma Cannon and Bernard Lee. @TalkingPicsTV 2.45pm this afternoon. #AlecGuinness

@RodneyMarshall1 When I watch Tales it has an option to skip intro. I mean just why on earth would you? Savour the music and flap your arms. Do we have any further entries as the person for whom I have a massive soft spot is not yet mentioned?

In the days of 'shared TV' & before streaming platforms encouraged us to 'skip the intro', it's hard to overestimate the importance of both the 'art of the titles' & a classic theme tune, the latter sending people rushing in from the kitchen, bedroom etc to watch a favourite show

@ConfessionsPete I so need to see this one day. An acquaintance has a poster on his wall.

Lovely new bit of ephemera for the wall of shame

VHS cassette packaging design was on another level

@daveainsworth63 @BBCFOUR4 I had the privilege of seeing a screening at The Union Chapel with live musical accompaniment by an excellent duo and preceeded by a screening of The Flypaper from Tales of the Unexpected which was filmed where I live. A perfect evening

Film of the day - The Wicker Man (1973) Excellent folk horror film based on the novel 'Ritual' by David Pinner starring Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt and Lindsay Kemp @BBCFOUR4 10.00 pm tonight #ChristopherLee #IngridPitt

@TheCinesthetic The Moon-Spinners

What’s the most underrated Disney movie?

@daveainsworth63 @TalkingPicsTV Fine choice as always sir.

Film of the day - Charade (1963) Excellent comedy thriller directed by Stanley Donen, starting Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Walter Matthau, James Coburn and George Kennedy @TalkingPicsTV 4.00pm this afternoon. #AudreyHepburn #WalterMatthau

@TringBrewery Much deserved, a thoroughly reliable and enjoyable pint.

Thanks to South Herts CAMRA for presenting us 'Hertfordshire Beer of the Year 2025' for Side Pocket for a Toad at the White Hart Tap (St. Albans) on Friday night 🏆 - Part of fringe celebrations for CAMRA Members' Weekend, which saw hundreds flock to 'St. Albans: City of Ale' 🍺

Begrudgingly had to look after my young nephews and niece. Managed to occupy them by taking turns to pick songs on Spotify. My choice - Black Lace. We're Having A Gang Bang, with dance moves, which they absolutely loved. Cue angry phone call from sister 10 minutes after I left.

@thebowlerhatman @wormsleycricket Ideal location

Today I am in one of my happy places... @wormsleycricket ...

Artemis II astronauts confirm that the Great Wall of China isn't the only man made structure visible from the moon. "The red flags about Mandelson stood out like a baboon's arse"

@TheMekon_Venus My mate keeps trying to persuade me to buy Astro Wars so he can play on it. I quite fancy caveman though.

You can have just one. Which are you gong for? (I have an Astro Wars myself.. it’s great)

@AbbaFan102 Am so very sorry to hear this
