For those of you who get the Extra Bit, this is the Xmas ad I started crying about. It is the BEST XMAS AD EVER. And Lynda Bellingham’s final look to camera will *ruin* you.

It’s the most unexpected thing to be struck by, but the new mix of ‘Real Love’ on Anthology 4 is ASTONISHING. A complete revelation. Sounds more Beatley than possible, and twinkles with detail. Wholeheartedly WONDERFUL.

This is one of those moments (a bit like playing Connections) when a Brit beholds the chasm between US and UK culture. Those cereals: Oysterettes, Holland Rusk, Honey Grahams… meaningless.

A sparkling BBCSO at The Barbican under a tireless, pin-sharp Nil Venditti tonight. The Respighi was a triumph. Jess Gillam was astonishing. And if @fazilsayofficial.bsky.social’s thrilling and *gorgeous* Grand Bazaar isn’t a repertoire staple within a decade, I’ll marry my printer and eat my hair.
