End of an era today in Manchester: last day of work at HOME for my pal Garry Watson, who started as a projectionist at Cornerhouse just over forty years ago - the last man standing from the opening of the original venue. Cheers, Garry!

I've missed making the 'Hobbs Lane' signs (Quatermass And The Pit, 1958) so have made 25 available to pre-order, to ship in Nov. I've slightly improved on the original version with rounded corners, and thinner board to make it more in keeping with the original prop sign.

Just realised that a 1983 Alas Smith & Jones sketch, which I haven't seen since, didn't refer to Art Garfunkel the way I always thought it did.
This might be my equivalent of Deep Thought working out the meaning of life (etc).

Had a sneaky listen to Series 2 of The Delightful Sausage's radio series Icklewick FM. Big laughs, a killer guest cast and plenty of chaotic mayhem, but altogether more refined and effective than Series 1. Goes out on BBC Radio 4 from Saturday 30 August. Splendid!
