Regular routine: hair cut then around the corner for a chippie, eaten in the car with a podcast.
Today is a small chips and the latest episode of @squarewindowpod.bsky.social.

Enjoyable afternoon being spooked in the Square Eyes TV Festival’s ghost stories session in Birmingham yesterday.
A 1975 Centre Play, The Imp of the Perverse, followed by 2005’s A View From a Hill.
Nice contextual intros from Jon Dear and an interesting chat with writer Peter Harness afterwards.

Took the day off to go on a pub crawl* of Birmingham with a bunch of real ale mates.
Highly recommend spending a damp afternoon in nice pubs while most people are at work. Supplemented by Greggs and KFC.

Monday. But I’ve got a 4-day week and managed to snag a great spot* on the car park.
*near to entrance, no trees to drop debris, well-lit when I’m leaving in the dark, no dickhead parking either side

Down and safe! Halfway through the Blake’s 7 screening with some of the design team here. Mat Irvine setting a high bar for best trousers.
New effects haven’t disappointed! Excited to see more.

Reached the beginning of commercial television in David Hendy’s The BBC: A People’s History.
Someone in broadcasting should have had this quote on their office wall.

“£120?”
“Yeah so they weren’t cheap, but they do contain details of virtually every air raid on England during the entire war!”
Seeing myself in Gary Sparrow when I spent a small fortune on 1970s/80s ITA/IBA yearbooks.
“But they do contain details of every ITV franchise and transmitting radius!”

Enjoying the Becoming Led Zeppelin documentary, including this photo of Jimmy Page signing with Atlantic.
It is the most perfect Rock Star With Management and Executives photo.

Reading Hansard debates on the 1954 Television Bill.
MPs argue that requiring ITV to ensure "the tone and style of the programmes are predominantly British" is hardly reasonable - what if you want to broadcast a Mozart opera?
Perhaps the ITA "can make the foreign composers honorary Britons"!😆
