I do not understand why they insist on making 7 or 8 new versions of A Christmas Carol every year when the Muppets nailed it nearly 35 years ago. #BBCFrontRow

Bridget Riley: Learning to See review – optical mastery leaves you gasping for air The artist’s complete control of colour and space ensnares and mesmerises, leaving you lost in a reverie of wonder and surprise. You just can’t look away

This, and #BBCFrontRow review @tds153.bsky.social, have convinced me that a day out in Margate is necessitated. #LifeOfRiley

Wouldn't even call myself a superfan, Tom, but ..The River.... Bruce's first album??
#BBCFrontRow

Well done #BBCFrontRow for finding two interviewees who are evangelical about AI’s uses in music. No pushback whatever as the idea of people writing background music is pooh-pooed. ‘I can’t really sing but just listen to me go here!’

Jacob Elordi playing Frankenstein's monster? Geez, looks like modern times have been bad for business for non-beautiful actors.
No one wants to cast a non-beautiful actor as an ugly character anymore in case it hurts their feelings...

As 4 of 5 I appreciated Guillermo's observation of overwritten new humans. @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social

I see Adam Kay is following the Revd. Richard Cole's position of "writing the amateur detective profession you know"
#BBCFrontRow

I see Sebastian Faulks has taken the same pretentious, waffling, drivelly approach to autobiography that he takes to fiction. #BBCFrontRow

Don't know whether the play being reviewed on #bbcfrontrow right now is any good or not, but the review and the reviewers are audibly *dripping* with snobbery.

Lol. Starmer couldn't stop Kneecap headlining Glastonbury, so all festivals are rubbish. Nice try #bbcfrontrow

Aargh #bbcfrontrow is covering the Evita balcony on the street nonsense like #bbcpm. It's still in preview at the Palladium. Press night is next week (?). If 500 are already gathered in the street at 9pm for the Evita number, it'd be worse as news spreads. This is a publicity stunt. ...

FML. 40 years from now we'll have to endure "Melania" the musical. #bbcfrontrow

I've never heard of James Frey before but he comes across as an incredibly arrogant arse with little to back it up. #BBCFrontRow

Very good to hear in Antony Gormley's praise for Alan Yentob on #BBCFrontRow "we need the BBC to believe in itself as a university...a home for mavericks to sniff out the best... He was a dowser for energy". Best praise possible. If only #BBC were on here to receive it. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Willem Dafoe sounds a little like Bruce Springsteen in older age I think

Helen Chadwick, Ego Geometria Sum (The piano aged nine years), 1983 [A plywood piano-shaped sculpture, printed with photographic images of an actual piano and the child's hands playing it.]

#bbcfrontrow discussing Helen Chadwick… Always loved her piano in the Graves Gallery in Sheff.

Listening to Tracy Chapman on #BBCFrontRow and was ambushed by memory of how deeply in love I was with the boyfriend who introduced me to her, and how affecting her lyrics are.

Bloody hell, I could listen to Michael S & Russell T all night. Now they chuck in Richard + Philip Burton and I’ve never felt a stronger desire to actually *be* Welsh. (Though Tilda S was marvellous too.) #BBCFrontRow @bbcradio4.bsky.social

Now. Interesting question. Is your “worst nightmare” your child being accused of murder, or your child being a victim of murder? #BBCFrontRow

“The tranquil violence of privilege.” Ernest Cole

Listening to director Raoul Peck on Ernest Cole, South African photographer who documented apartheid.
For the trailer of "Ernest Cole - Lost & Found,” Peck’s new film, www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzS9...

The director of the British Museum seems like a fucking bellend. #BBCFrontrow

I've not seen Presence but did Trim Obey just give away a spoiler...
#BBCFrontRow

A couple of years ago it was Brian and Charles. This time it's Bryan and Maggie. Wonder who will be next?
#BBCFrontRow

Oh the pure, pure voice of Mary Chapin Carpenter. NEVER usually heard on Radio 4
