On BBC 4 Extra at 4pm: a repeat of @tobyhadoke.bsky.social’s estimable and effective 2018 radio adaptation of The Road. Genuinely not to be missed if you’re a Nigel Kneale fan.

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonelye. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye yf nobody ys arounde. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of the great Manchester scene guitarist John Scott - as heard on Jilted John and John Cooper Clarke’s albums, plus many projects with CP Lee, including Blue Monday antecedent Gerry and the Holograms. RIP, John.

Had a marvellous night seeing @mrholness.bsky.social's oppo Garth Marenghi at The Lowry, in a show which very much answers the pre-performance question 'Hang on, is that a guitar on stage?'

It's Halloween! @mrgeetsromo.bsky.social and I stagger painfully through post war London before ramming the gates at Hammer's secret base to uncover what monstrous conspiracies it took to get the first two Quatermass film classics out on Blu Ray/UHD. With Steve Rogers and @0tralala.bsky.social.

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!
