Just when I think that I can't love this man any more than I already do!

Bit of TV history this: YouTube unseats BBC as UK's most-watched service, per monthly audience reach figures published by Barb. The BBC remains well ahead in other areas, but for it to be beaten on even a single monthly metric upsets TV's natural order. deadline.com/2026/01/youtub…

Appalling service from @easyJet @easyJet_press at @Gatwick_Airport today. Flight cancelled whilst at gate. Staff hopeless, absolutely no assistance given to rebook or find accommodation, despite repeated requests. Shameful!

I created a longer version of the BBC News Theme - The News Countdown. With its dramatic build, and the combination of rave sounds, pulsing beat and pips, and the BBC Concert Orchestra at #AbbeyRoadStudios This is how It happened. #BBC #BBCNewsThemeTune #BBCNewsCountdown #MusicProduction #Composer #SoundDesign #25Years #Anniversary

The BBC blocks branding from 1958 to present day #bbc #branding #blocks

25 years ago, I composed the @BBCNews Theme Tune, which is broadcast around the world everyday. From the precise beeps of time to the powerful bass and dramatic drums for the headlines. This how I did it… #BBC #BBCNewsThemeTune #MusicProduction #Composer #SoundDesign #25Years
