The Murder of Roger Ackroyd - that'll ease you back in

Post a pic of your favourite fictional band

From February 1955... the episode referenced was The Missing Scroll from series 5.

(BTW, 'best new radio show' goes to Arthur Askey??)

Oh yes! And the pretentious film snob who Chrissy goes out with

Busy this morning. Imagining a scenario if an elephant was married to a goldfish & they divorced, how they would divide up the CD collection

The elephant would keep Fleetwood Mac's Tusk.
The goldfish would have Goodbye Jumbo by World Party (but forget to take it)

This is why Nigel wants to ban WFH

I know Daphne Oxenford best as Chrissy's mother in Man About The House

IS IT GIRO DAY?

I'm hoping Hell is full of golf courses and he's forced to be caddy to a Mexican for all eternity

Down Among The Z Men was on TPTV this morning and I missed it thank GOD

[YIKES, Biffo is channeling Vance.]

Alexei said he wants people to write in to the BBC and ask if Stuff can be added to iPlayer.

You know what to do.

He's a five-year-old at someone else's birthday party screaming that everyone should be looking at HIM, spitting all over the birthday cake so nobody else can eat any and then leaving a turd in the bath because the birthday boy's mom asked him to stop pulling everyone's hair

Comedy scholars!

Can anyone help?

Sean Hughes had a routine (or maybe it was in an episode of Sean's Show) where a thug forces him to withdraw cash from an ATM... can anyone help identify where I can find this or did I imagine it?

50 years ago this week The Return Of The Pink Panther was number one at the UK box office. Some film about a shark was at number two.

Sorry to hear, Donna.
The “Put our own children first!” crowd outing themselves as selfish, petty arses with pea-sized hearts and, doubtless, tackle to match.

Same as in a lift. They step in after you and press the fifth floor button even though you've just done it. Sometimes twice. Do they think maybe it'll make it go faster?

The 2026 AGM of the Peter Mandelson Appreciation Society had a better turnout than expected

They roped in the late Claire Rayner to play the Beatles' first manager Allan Williams

Sad to hear about the death of John Virgo.

This is my favourite picture of him; his facial expression suggests a man whose wife has just informed him she is leaving him for Justin Timberlake.

What an excellent parent!

The Sainsburys app on my phone is the same colour as the Audible app and this morning I listened to an audiobook about Nectar points

No new pictures. Where are you mentally?

I think Bill Oddie is the only celebrity without a podcast.

Yes, an interesting callback. There's also one of the hospital Carry Ons where someone approaches Frankie Howerd (I think) with a daffodil and he says "No, I saw that film" - a clear allusion to Carry On Nurse

Recording a show about Carry On Camping tomorrow.
