Just for any academics, let me be clear, Hookland is anti-nostalgic. It's an exploration and exorcism of my childhood, not a celebration of falsely remembered sunshine. Nostalgia is a warping gravity.

I think it is crazy to think that Trump was complicit in the violent riots of 6th January - what the BBC did was so misleading - if he really saw those people as his fighting army he would have pardoned all 1600 of those convicted or waiting trial on the first day of his second term

Don’t allow anyone to tell you that being a library ghost in the afterlife “doesn’t classify” as an appropriate long-term goal.

Sad to say - we have had to cancel 9 Lessons in Cardiff - Cardiff just wasn’t very interested and we still had very low sales at the beginning of the week - we never make money on the shows , but we can’t afford to lose £1000s - sorry to those of you who were looking forward to it
We always try to get Nine Lessons shows beyond London - it is never profitable but we hope it makes it accessible for others - This year is CARDIFF - but no one seems to want to come - so we will pull it next week if we see that it is going to lose us too much money

Sadly , post lockdown - live shows are becoming less and less viable for so many performers - I have many friends , critically revered and fabulous , who are seeing huge drops in their ability to sell - the mainstream dominates - the arenas lap up money and numbers

You love your country by enacting policies that lift people out of poverty, that protect women from violent men in their own homes, that ensure schoolchildren have healthy meals, that redistribute wealth from top to bottom and strengthen social solidarity and cohesion. Blind nationalism does f all.

Another piece of Hookland dialect I am very fond of it 'wight-wrey' – a swerve in the path or road ahead which one instinctively knows the turning of will lead to the revelation of a ghost or other unholy terror. – #CLNolan, BBC National Programme talk, 1934 #WOTD #Hookland

Not sure I have the words to express how much I loathe Pip + that is the quietest dog I have ever(not)heard + not that I want to hear Rosie but her absolute silence is kind of preternatural...plus didn't Pip get a cat fairly recently but no word of how they plan to introduce them to Cleo #TheArchers

History curious? You don't need to be in London (or the UK) to attend many Institute of Historical Research seminars, although if you're in Bloomsbury you'll enjoy doing so. Most are hybrid (online/in person). They're free, usually fortnightly and open to the public.
