Hello what no sorry I can’t hear you I’m saving up to buy this now and everything else is a footnote. £349 is a perfectly reasonable price to spend on an ornament what no sorry can’t hear you.

Finally getting around to watching Culloden. It’s insanely brilliant. The hand held reportage style is so wonderful. From 1964! Why aren’t history dramas and documentaries done like this more often? Or ever? It’s superb.

RE the Bond casting. We need to go back to the books and cast someone who looks like Hoagy Carmichael, who Fleming says Bond looks like. Several times. In more than one book.

I was terrified of these when I was a kid because they looked like the floating torture device thing with a syringe from Star Wars.

Just finished this glorious book by the equally glorious @tobyhadoke.bsky.social - Such a fascinating and in-depth read. If you’re at all interested in TV history it’s an absolute must read. Fabulous.

My favourite casting was Ron Cook wearing a splendid hat and playing a visiting merchant. I want a spinoff about this character.

In 1960 Richard Burton got paid £1,000 for performing in a one off drama on the BBC. To put this in a weird financial BBC context, when my Dad was a VFX designer on Doctor Who in 1980 his entire budget for 4 episodes was £1,200.
