Not sure we cottoned on, Jackanory is 60 this week, when we spoke about it on last Sunday’s 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.
Thank you 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐂𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐥-𝐁𝐨𝐲𝐜𝐞 for making us aware.
Fabulous #TV in so many ways.
Cruelly and short-sightedly axed.

Happy 60th to #Jackanory. I used to love the wonderful stories and storytellers when I was a child. Lovely memories.

BBC Four is marking the 60th anniversary of Jackanory on Sat 13 Dec with two classic editions featuring Judi Dench and Alan Bennett.
Interesting that it comes so soon after both the report of the big decline in children reading for pleasure and the ridiculous axing of Between the Covers. #Jackanory

Eric preparing for his stint on #Jackanory (shows my age, though not his). It's gonna be a scary one!

"Israel says...".
Isn't it odd that we haven't heard much about the "40 beheaded babies" that "Israel says" perished on 7th October.

I think Weirdstone was probably the first #fantasy novel I ever read. I may even have watched it on #Jackanory.

Close up of Roman numerals on the publisher page of A Christmas Carol. The numerals are MDCCCXLIII, which I’m pretty sure is 1843, right?
Photo of a 1843 copy of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
I happen to have an 1843 copy of A Christmas Carol on my desk and I’m thinking of livestreaming myself reading it over the days until Xmas, maybe release it as a podcast too. Would you watch/listen? #booksky #books #jackanory
