I do hope that Melvyn Bragg’s selection of his favourite #InOurTime is going to include the wonderful table-thumping Industrial Revolution episode where he got very angry at the idea that the IR wasn’t due to clever men in the north having clever ideas.

Really excellent #InOurTime about the Electron, this morning. Lovely discussion and well curated, amiable, interesting panel. Goo Work #MelvynBragg and #R4 team.

I hope before he goes he presides over an #InOurTime special on Broadcasting the Arts & Humanities, a 20th century democratising undertaking that bravely tries to face up to a cripplingly stupid 21st century.

Lot of insomnia last night. Among other episodes, this kept me company. I couldn't help wondering who is there for the workers now that capitalism is even more established. Where is the equalising force? Legislation/courts? Unions? #InOurTime

Any book collectors here? This is my best find of 2024. It’s the first UK edition of Hemingway’s In Our Time (1926), found in a book sale. Amazing what turns up. No dust jacket but, hey, I’m happy.
