The Beatles, Doctor Who, Steptoe, Tony Hancock and the Sopranos. Not necessarily in that order. And mainly The Beatles if truth be told.

Nice of my local #Greggs to be playing a #RoyOrbison playlist this morning. Wasn’t expecting to hear the anniversary of his passing marked as I queued for a pasty.

A remix sounded like a great idea in theory, but was a big disappointment in reality. I love all the outtakes the 2020 version came with, but it’s the original mix every time when it comes to the album proper for me.

Sometimes less is less.

30 YEARS AGO TODAY: The Beatles Anthology, the documentary supposed last word on the Fab Four, begins. During the first break, Carlsberg spot their opportunity.

Yeah - it’s *really* distracting at times - and I say that as someone who had no problem with the waxy faces of the Get Back Beatles. In some of the Ready Steady Go shots none of them look like the real thing.

Well, the new edit of the Anthology is great. The sound restoration, great. The AI β€˜enhanced’ faces on some of the early footage… yikes. #thebeatles #anthology

It’s ghastly. What were they thinking?

It’s such a disappointment. I really don’t understand how they all signed off on it.

Yes - good stuff, and - in the best tradition of these things - has left me with a much better appreciation of an album I’ve probably neglected for way too long. Cheers! #extratexture50

Grey Cloudy Lies. Dark, but a great song. Maybe the best thing on the album for me. George’s honesty was breathtaking at times. #extratexture50

Tired of Midnight Blue. Who hasn’t felt like this at some point? You don’t have to have been an ex-Beatle to have hit this state of mind from time to time! #extratexture50

Can’t Stop Thinking About You - a great track. Always loved this one. Gloomy? Yes. But still a cracker. #extratexture50

World of Stone sounds like a quintessential George song - both lyrically and musically; words of wisdom mixed with a fine melody. #extratexture50

β€˜While you attack and create offence, I put it all down to your ignorance’ has a distinct whiff of Dylan about it (not a bad thing). #extratexture50

Always have the idea in my head that this album is a bit downcast and dull… but this opener is a banger! #extratexture50

An improvement on Extra Texture; George sounds more energised here. Some nice tracks - particularly Beautiful Girl and Learning How to Love You.

Rewatching Capaldi’s first series all the way through for the first time since it was on. I didn’t appreciate it enough at the time, but this could well be peak New-Who... #doctorwho #petercapaldi

He was brilliant. The Benidorm asides with Steve were very good.
