On a different note, but no less incongruous, here's my favourite entry from The RSPB book Birds of Britain and Europe. The Dunnock which apparently feeds on grated cheese under shrubberies

The original Independent of the 1980s was a great paper (later incarnations were good but they wasted insane effort on pointless redesigns, endlessly fiddling with the size of the eagle on the masthead)
The new paper appeared like a breath of fresh air. Its typeface was clean, its layout spacious and its use of pictures bold and often large scale. Free of old constraints, its journalism was well-written and challenging too.

It was embarrassingly recently that I realised the famous instantly-written JFK tribute edition of TW3 was the same night as the first ep of Doctor Who. I mean, obviously it was, but I never made the connection.
Exactly 62 years ago, the very first episode of #DoctorWho had just finished. But what was on for the rest of the evening? Here's the actual BBC Television schedule for the rest of the night, with the post-Kennedy changes. #DoctorWhoDay #DoctorWho62

It was 62 years ago #OnThisDay in 1963 that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Here's a piece I wrote for the History of the BBC website a couple of years ago about how the BBC covered the news.
