I should be getting some sort of commission. 😁

Labyrinth in Concert poster.

Something a bit different for me tonight and what a special experience it turned out to be. Labyrinth (1986) on the big screen, accompanied by a brilliant live band at Perth Concert Hall.

I think every film should end with the main character(s) saying the name of the film in the last line like; "I guess at the end of it all, we really were Nuns on the Run" or "I've genuinely done a proper Oppenheimer here" just to tie it up nicely x

A look inside

If you can't get excited about this one are you even a Tesco sandwich fan? I THINK NOT. Sadly, SOUTHERN FRIED BBQ CHICKEN WITH MAC & CHEESE promises so much and delivers so little. I can neither see nor taste the BBQ sauce or the mac and cheese. Are they even there? If only they were. 3/10.

These incredible Buff Tip Moths blend in so well with branches that you might mistake them for sticks. Nature's masters of disguise are truly fascinating!

It's going to take some going for anything better than Secret Garden to appear on TV this year.

Anaconda poster.

Couple of bits in this made me properly chuckle. Anaconda (2025) on Prime.

Authors Live: Gary Panton and Dotty Sutton Author-illustrator team behind The Notwitches join us on Authors Live

Very much excited out of my mind and face to say that me and my awesome illustrator friend Dotty are going to be the guests on BBC's Authors Live next month. It's going out live at 11am on 27th May and will stay on iPlayer afterwards. Schools can register to get involved and all the deets are below!

HAVING DIPPY EGGS FOR BREAKFAST. More news as it develops.

Dennis the Menace DJ's at the Disco Dancing Party while Biffo inexplicably dances with his clone.

Beano Book 1981

Unrelated to your question but I bloody love a Japan shirt.

This cat does look like the building they're walking away from is about to erupt in a massive explosion... and they won't turn a single hair as it happens. Just keep walking.

AI-generated gibberish?

Brick poster

I know this makes me massively uncultured, but I really struggle with dubbed films. I just can't stop noticing the dubbing and I find it too distracting. But despite that, this was really good. Brick (2025) on Netflix.

Asif Kapadia to direct 70 Up, last chapter of influential ITV documentary series Film-maker says it is ‘incredible honour’ to pick up baton from Michael Apted who died in 2021

Such a great combo

When I was a kid my LEGO horses all mysteriously went missing (I suspect another kid stole them) and my parents still mention this to me at least once a month.

Yep, totally agree. I know people always think things were better "in their day" but I honestly think that was a real golden era of TV, and much of it was because people were allowed to be more experimental and less polished.

The death of late-night weekend TV in particular feels like a big loss. You knew a lot of it was rubbish but it always felt highly watchable and unpredictable and you just don't see people being given a chance to cut their teeth like that on TV any more.

Surprised by how much I enjoyed TFI last night, though mainly because so much of it was dedicated to the old stuff. I do miss that whole era of TV shows that felt a bit anarchic. The schedules were full of them at one point. Just a pity no one's really getting the chance to make today's equivalents.

I just read online that it was auctioned off for charity for £2,500 in 2012, but can't find anything on where it ended up.

Wonder where that signed desk from the original TFI Friday is now.

Good to see performative oversized microphones have made it onto the TFI reboot.

Oh I love that!

My electric toothbrush has the same tone as Get Your Freak On by Missy Elliott, which inevitably means I now have that song stuck in my head pretty much every day.

It is my understanding that to be featured in Witherspoon’s popular book club, authors must give her production company an option for film/TV development. It’s understandable they’re pissed about tying themselves to a company now promoting a technology that’s stolen from most — if not all — of them.

I really need Outlook to stop underlining words in my emails as I type or I'm going to hoy my work laptop out of the window.

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection.

So forgive me if I smell a rat.

Haha no do please laugh at it! 😄 I hadn't realised until now that it's a Scottish thing to call them that!

You know what we don't talk enough about?

The cast of The Bill, 'singing' a doo-wop medley on the old ITV Telethon.

I'll never not be convinced the reason for all the entertainment on TV fundraisers is that you donate in the hope that it stops!

Sadly, no big duet from Tosh & Burnside.

Yeah!
