Baffling to see this post, because I was, only a couple of days ago, sorting some DVDs into slip cases and came across this one. As you say, the only one of the entire series and 'prime minister' as well, that is double-sided!

We’re in our third episode of season five. Most of the way through the Billboard Hot 100 chart toppers of the year 1960.

Good Grief’s first show in Liverpool (back in our spiritual home, Outpost) since - I think - May last year.

I am informed that Silver Blaze is the best of the short stories by my Holmes correspondent (Stevo of @hark87podcast.bsky.social fame).

Hmm. I saw Tim two days ago and he announced “No Who news” and I’m now questioning everything.

As I’ve mentioned before, I dislike Pantomimes pretty intensely, but I love Pantosplaining and its granular look at the pop culture surrounding the posters!

Listen to these wonderful maniacs explore this world of celebrity wonders.

Artists projection of the Liverpool skyline with a seventy story building on the waterfront.

“Plans for city's tallest skycraper with 70 storeys”

Here’s my plan: you build NO skyscrapers, also you get - for free - to fuck off.

In which Morgan posits a world in which Cliff Richard sounds like a game soundtrack on an Amiga A500.

Can confirm that The Castle remains wonderful, funny and sweet and marvellous.

At least I was in the EPIC Elvis film, so it was loud enough, mostly, to drown out the plastic bag bonanza.

Just sent off the last overdubs, including three brilliant guest artist vocals, for the new Good Grief album, ready for mixing.

This is very exciting. Am honestly thrilled with it all at the moment. I can give you no previews, but I can confirm that the record features the sound "oooh" sometimes.

The world is still terrifying but I remembered the other day to finally buy Aussie masterpiece The Castle on DVD and it should arrive today, so that helps.

Visiting Budapest, we took the novel chance to visit a “Scottish” Bar (my partner is from Scotland)… Oor Wullie and The Broons represented by virtue of the annuals having been dissected and used as wallpaper in the toilets!

Just back from the cinema where this year’s Liverpool Heats for the International Rustling Competition was taking place. Strong contenders.
