If you happen to be in or near Paignton on Wednesday 12th August, WHY NOT COME AND HEAR ME TALK at the Torbay Literary Festival? Why not, indeed? I'm not the sole attraction. The night before, it's Biggins. Then later on Wednesday, Melvyn Hayes. Glory be.

I had a colleague when I worked in the outside broadcast world in the mid 00s who insisted that star filters added something to floodlit, live football on TV - trust me, they DON’T! #totp

Jeez the four point star filters will be worn out by the time this finishes #totp

There’s an EMI2001 camera on the left of frame - the finest camera to come out of Hayes #totp

I unit managed a MTV Awards post show party gig outside broadcast in Dublin in 1999 - the lineup was Phats & Small and Wastelife - let’s just say the audience wasn’t there to see Brighton’s best #totp

I’m about to do a Keith Moon and throw my television out of a 6th floor hotel window - that’s another level #totp

What the hell is the point of back to backing 2 consecutive episodes? It’s nonsense scheduling from BBC Four #totp

Jeez people bought some woeful singles in 1999 #totp
