Would love to sit down with a meal and chat with #JonathanMeades. It would be fascinating and illuminating.

"To be northern (European) is to be at ever ill-ease with oneself." Too, too true. Story of my life. #JonathanMeades

"Hitler loathed the Hansa cities in general because they were born of pragmatic materialism & internationalism and were thus deemed un-German. He especially loathed Lubeck because it had forbidden canvassers there in the 1930 election."

Okay, enough #JonathanMeades, because he's overloading my synapses. A genius.

Re-watching 'Magnetic North' by #JonathanMeades. Perhaps my favourite of his many series, probably because it resonates with me. "To be northern (European) is to be forever at unease with oneself." Ah, how true.

Now re-watching #JonathanMeades' 'Magnetic North' series of docs. One of his best series? So good on drink, good, architecture, and art.

Again, #JonathanMeades getting it spot-on with his lambasting of #Putin's fascism in his 2008(!) series 'Magnetic North'.

Love #JonathanMeades - an admission that made me close to a pariah when I worked at Historic England...

Reassuring to find that #JonathanMeades is a fan of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caspar_.... One of my favourite artists.

Did #JonathanMeades ever do a doc on Trieste? I'd pay to see that.

The Hanseatic League. "God's first attempt at the EU." Another #JonathanMeades zinger.

I was just about to make a pithy comment about #JonathanMeades' critique about northern European art and @bsky.app failed to save it. Draft function?

Just realised that #JonathanMeades docs are as eclectic as those of #AdamCurtis, but infinitely more intellectually coherent. Curtis is all superficial style, no real substance. Meades does both. I will not be taking any further questions.

Ah, #JonathanMeades on Buckfast Tonic Wine (aka the infamous Buckie). "Brewed in Devon by monks; experts in peddling delusion." Zing!

I'd forgotten that #JonathanMeades royally rips the piss out of #DonaldTrump in the first episode of his 'Off Kilter' series about Scotland. From (checks notes) 2009.

Oh, fuck. Watching #JonathanMeades European docs makes me want to revisit the continent again. I love northern Europe. Its art, its food, its beer, its culture. Eurostar me, baby!

Oh, I love #JonathanMeades. Sadly, too 'edgy' for the blandified modern #BBC. Can we start up a crowdfund for more Meades docs? I'd cough up money for that.

Ah, #JonathanMeades can still make me snort out loud with his waspish cultural criticism every time.

All of #JonathanMeades' docs are, of course, great, but I think that 'Magnetic North' is one of his finest. Glad to find that I'm not alone in my love of Northern Europe.

Image of a CD in its jewel case. The CD is largely a dark grey, with eight white lines of varying lengths scattered across its surface (though all aligned in exactly the same direction.) There is some white text circling the edge of the CD, stating ‘(c) 2014 East India Youth’ and then repeating that further round, followed by ‘/ Stolen Recordings’. The backdrop to the jewel case is card printed as though a light grey pencil has been scrawled across paper - though it looks light brown in this picture.
Possibly my first suggestion for a @richards7370.bsky.social poll (though I’ve voted on some past ones)… for #5DebutAlbums1014 here is ‘Total Strife Forever’ by East India Youth. Under his real name, William Doyle, he went on to make a record with #JonathanMeades.

“The epic scale of this book is as awe-inspiring as the buildings. All are accompanied by minimal - yet informative - captions and fascinating contextual quotations from the likes of #JonathanMeades, #JohnGrindrod and Elaine Harwood.”

Still think that there might be room for European City States in a fractured future. @hutchinsondave.bsky.social #JonathanMeades #MagneticNorth

I miss #JonathanMeades on the #BBC. Can you imagine programmes like this being made these days? It's now all Wallace flashing his dick on cookery shows and strictly come, ah, who gives a fuck?

Absolute gold from Jay Rayner. I can trust a skinny chef, but I can never trust a skinny food critic. #jayrayner #jonathanmeades www.theguardian.com/food/2025/fe...

The 20 year wait is finally over. #EmptyWigs is here...
Jonathan Meades' compendium of tales is told through frames within frames, mazes within mazes, colliding narratives and quick changing moods.
