Did you tot up how much whiskey should have been in there? Is it making a Dram-a out of the situation? Or are adopting a rye sense of humour about it? I'll stop now...

FOLKS!
We are VERY CLOSE to securing the archive of Galton and Simpson - so the writers of Hancock's Half Hour and Steptoe and Son (or Sanford and Son, if you like) for the nation. Every little helps - can you help?

Informed that it is the 65th birthday of It's A Square World today.
Me and @tiltaraiza.bsky.social had a chat about the show a while back & speculated that it may have included the first ever Dr Who parody, with Clive Dunn as Hartnell's Doctor.

Yep, Jack Duckworth himself! He was quite a renowned singer and had many albums produced by Derek Wadsworth. Derek also went under the name Daniel Caine and produced and conducted the only released version of 'The A-Team' TV scores.

It absolutely is! I was corresponding with Derek to arrange an interview slot for Bill Tarmey and we got chatting all things 'Space: 1999'. I invited him in when Gerry Anderson was a special guest and gave them a wonderful reunion as they'd not worked together for 15 years - Fandersontastic!

They get all the best ideas from TV! I got to know the composer of the music that goes with that title sequence, lovely chap called Derek Wadsworth. He gave me one of the last of his privately pressed CD's of the score long before it was released. He produced Dusty Springfield, Bill Tarmey and more.

The professional rejection of oneβs creative and comedy efforts is a funny old thing, ironically. Iβve always loved writing and performing my own comedy material, but nothing has ever been commissioned, itβs always rejected. ALWAYS. Itβs like a jigsaw piece that never fits any puzzle. Ah wellβ¦

Loved this in-depth talk about the 1991 Goon Show documentary I made with Mike Pointon. Spike, Harry, Mike Bentine, Angela Morley & Eric Sykes gave unstintingly & Ted Kendall found terrific clips. It led to Ted and I restoring The Last Goon Show Of All from the original 1β eight-track master tapes.

I have deleted my accounts with them and I'm going to study up on how to encrypt and protect my creative property in the future. Eternal vigilance is the price of creative freedom?

Great movie! I was born a few hundred yards away from where the petrol station scenes were filmed. The pub across the road thatβs in shot from time to time was one of my local haunts when I still lived in Hull.
