Wit, raconteur, bon viveur. He is none of these things. A purveyor of cheap mummery and piffle since 1976. Throws random words at a screen for Set The Tape. Bluesky’s foremost Biggles: Adventures In Time aficionado.

Yep, utterly the wrong episode to show.
We're watching Rentaghost on BBC4. Bloody hell, it was shit! Even Peter Glaze would have drawn the line at this.

“I don’t suppose you have a copy of Hello Darlin’ by Larry Hagman? You do? Oh, that’s wonderful! Can you keep it for me? My name? Oh, yes. It’s J.R. Ewing.”

No joking, yes, this did make me feel better.
Maybe there are others out there like me that will feel a little better today by seeing this photo of Mamdani holding a cat at a cat adoption event.

The reported death of Ingeborg Pertwee nearly thirty years after her husband Jon reminds me that since 1996 we've had a golden period of former incumbent Doctors alive and in sufficient health to recreate and recall their tenures. In 1996 there were five living. Now there are eleven.

They’ve got Twitter up on the big screens in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago makeshift “situation room.”

Hell's bells, this is gold dust 😘
An episode of ITV Schools programme "Choices" focussed on Paul Henry, with lots of behind the scenes footage from #Crossroads - features Dee Hepburn and Graham Seed so 86 or 87 I guess.
Love all the bits of Paul switching from his posh "normal" voice to Benny mode!
