ANNOUNCEMENT! My next novel, The Heist Of Hollow London, will be published by Tor on 30 September 2025.
One of the world's largest corporations collapses. During the sale of its assets, five clone workers are bought to steal a large sum of money stashed an obscure facility in a near-abandoned city.

That Radar piece about Bond is obviously made up. The claim that they can't work out how to resurrect him after he's been blown up comes from that old favourite, "a source close to the production". I don't think a team of experienced screenwriters is unfamiliar with the concept of a reboot.

Hugely enjoying this, best novel I've read in ages, but there was a reference to characters listening to Dark Side Of The Moon and I had to stifle the voice saying "But but but if the American South had been a fascist theocracy from 1945 onwards then British postwar music would be totally different"

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

The weave of the instruments on this track is incredible. They each seem to surge to the front in turn. The drums are the star, though.

I know it's a long shot but anybody know if there's an online copy of François Truffaut's review of “Rear Window” from Cahiers du Cinéma (April 1955)?

Records you discovered through Mark and Lard's late-night Radio 1 show. Whether they went on to bother the top ten or you're still convinced that only you bought them, let's sing their praises here. Anyone else got the Harvey's Rabbit single??

Can’t believe Disney have pulled all their money out of Tim Davie.
Here’s hoping they go back to a Director General with smaller scale stories, set mainly in Broadcasting House, and bring back some classic old baddies, like the National Viewers And Listeners Association.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

I think organisations should take unsolicited, murkily-funded 'reports' from people who used to work for a rival that has made your destruction a life's mission a little more sceptically.

The impossible dream some people on the British right are chasing is that you can have a BBC News operation that retreats from detail and expertise, that takes dictation from the government, but this will only create incompetence and failure when it suits you:
To fix the BBC, focus on competence and cash
Corporation fails to learn from criticism, while politicians have consciously reduced its scope for quality journalism
