Just heard 'She's A Star' by James on 6Music. You know what that song is crying out for?
Instead of the fade out, a Frank Sidebottom sign off.
🎶It's a long road
It's a good call
You've got it
You've got it
She's a staaaaaaar.🎶
"You know she is, she really is.
Thank You".

Dredd already at the 007 'No Time To Die' stage of his storyline?
It's a shame they didn't say 'A "suitable" case for treatment' just for the '60s cult movies fans.

I received a repeat fee today of £7:23 for my appearance in the BBC sitcom My Family. It was filmed at Pinewood Studios. At lunch, I sneaked off and had a nose around the 007 stage. Would never get away with that now.
Can anyone guess from this image what movie set I saw that day?

Two 2000 AD back page treats today.
A Nemesis The Warlock strip pictorial 'ghoul'ossary of sorts.
...and a salute to Tom Frame. Letterers never get any recognition, so fair play to Tharg for acknowledging those often unsung peeps working at the coalface of comics.

Dredd story that if I recall seemed to have entirely lifted the plot from the horror film, Alligator (1980). One of those video rental stalwarts at the time.

First they tell us 2000AD is zarjaz, scrotnig and ghafflebette, but then Johnny Alpha reveals that it is all an illusion and the comic this week is merely quite good.
Although, 'Mutie and the beast' is the best cover pun they've done yet!

I had many 'oh THAT'S where it's from' moments when I was young back in the 1970s. It's all in the soup.
As long AI doesn't muddy the waters so much that we will know nothing about the original artistic sources. Good luck with that, old man.

Interesting chazza shop 7" single find of the week. I didn't know London Weekend Television had its own record label. Reggae theme tune for a sitcom about the unbridled hilarity of being in an interracial marriage in 1978. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZwL...
