Kier, you can’t have more than 3 Arsenal players in the cabinet. I know you appointed Eze to Transport when he was at Palace but rules are rules!

Angeline - A film by Dallas Road Primary 'Angeline', a film by Dallas Road Primary School, created with Lancaster Film Initiative and Ian Martin.

If you could chuck a few bob our way I'd be very grateful. It's an immersive school project. The kids get hands-on experience of the filming process as well. They, and Lancaster Film Institute, are amazing. Please repost/share/bung us! Thanks, you're amazing too, whatever.

Definitely remembered by me as this was the only cassette I had for my Walkman on a 6 and a bit hour train journey from Lincoln to Torquay at the time.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

I’m in tonight’s Death Valley on BBC1. Don’t think I’m in it that much but I’m in it and it was fun so that’s the important thing.

I think it’s the only way I can work now. Coming up to nearly a decade and get so much more done in less time than before.

At last, I’ve found a crime drama to enjoy β€” it’s even got jokes

BBC1’s Death Valley with Timothy Spall is as charming as it is absurd β€” it’s like Midsomer Murders at its best

A Former TV Sleuth Turns Real-Life Detective In Witty Cozy Crime Drama Death Valley Timothy Spall steals the show as a former TV sleuth turned real-life detective in BritBox's latest cozy crime offering, Death Valley.

Timothy Spall plays a famous TV sleuth who starts helping solve crimes in real life in BritBox's warm and utterly charming new crime drama #DeathValley, and I desperately hope it finds the audience it deserves. My review at @pastemagazine.bsky.social:

I am probably the last to discover this but my mind is blown that Andor's Diego Luna and Stellan SkarsgΓ₯rd were originally in cast Goal! and filmed a couple of scenes before the director left and the film was completely changed. #nufc

Looking forward to Death Valley on BBC1 tonight in the all important post Antique's Roadshow spot. Starring Timothy Spall and written by the great @pdoolan.bsky.social. I pop up briefly in episode four.
