As it’s spooky season, here are some demons from an 18th century demonology book for you. I’m particularly fond of number 4 who has sea monsters coming out of their fanny. You’re welcome.

Lovely Prunella Scales has moved to the great after-show party. I was lucky enough, many years ago, to have a chat with her and Tim at the Edinburgh Festival. They were both precisely what you would have wanted them to be. Thank you so much for making me laugh since childhood.

One of my favourite moments in Dads Army. Laurie and Le Mes are perfect here. Two old Pro’s, playing the script perfectly. Lovely stuff.

Brand new NT! Paul’s tasteless Bol, Superman & Nic O’Teen, Harry Seacombe, writing drama in the socmed world, John Inman, Miss Marple, Waiting For God, VHS dilemmas, the Doctor Who BluRay controversy and the sad passing of Nabil Shaban… It’s a packed one this week! Links⬇️

I had the absolute pleasure of chatting to Sally Knyvette of #Blakes7 and #Emmerdale for an hour, largely about #Shakespeare although those two series came up for discussion too, and you can hear it now. Links ⬇️

After Nabil Shaban earlier today now I hear June Lockhart has died. June was the all American Mum in the wonderful #LostInSpace. My love of archive TV bloomed thanks to the repeats on Channel 4 in the late 80s and it gave me a focus when my family life exploded. Thanks June. RIP.

The magnificent Nabil Shaban has gone to the great after-show party in the sky. Not only did he give a magnificent performance as the repulsive Sil in #DoctorWho but, much more importantly, was a co-founder of Graeae, one of the most important theatre companies in modern history.

We're trying to keep the Rambling Club ticking over for another year, but it's getting tougher to spend the time with money right. Could you possibly help a little? Thank you so much! https://t.co/CqK5is9W2u

Blimey! I wonder where they put the rest of him?

The incomparable, legendary Bernard Hepton would have been 100 today. Should be a national holiday.

Well we all know who to point the finger at… #DoctorWho #Louvre

#Brookside is returning, and our guest President this week is none other than Billy Corkhill himself, John McArdle! Join us for a ramble that sees John almost being drafted to fight the Vietcong and ending up in prison as well as explaining the hazards of doing your own stunts.

Very nearly the end...

One for my #DoctorWho geek followers. The last ever (I think) old fashioned blackboard time clock.

Brand new #TSRC and our guest President this week is the star of @bbcthearchers and #DoctorWho, Terry Molloy! Time for a ramble that takes us from a killer desert sandstorm to the Cavern Club in the sixties with #TheBeatles in session. A cracking ramble awaits! Links ⬇️

“I find it very hard not to despair.” Ben Elton, though he disagrees with most of Thatcher’s policies, says she was at least “a woman of principle”, as “all honour is gone” in politics today. @StigAbell | #TimesRadio

To Be Fwank, there’s no better way to sail through the week than with brand new Nice Things! Call my Bluff, My Music, Alan Coren, deference, Adam Ant, Brian Croucher, Duran-Duran, century designations, centuries, cheese, One Foot in the Grave, Object Z & all the usual rubbish. ⬇️

'We shall have fog by tea time'

I hope you’ve all seen the #CameraPorn during the first ep of Object Z? Starts with a CU of the inside, dollys back as the hatch is replaced then you get a lovely reveal of the full thing. Beautiful stuff. #ObjectZ #Ffantaface

🥳It's 358 years since #SamuelPepys shat in a fireplace: "I to bed and in the night was mightily troubled with a looseness (I suppose from some fresh damp linen that I put on) and was forced to rise and shit in the chimney twice; and so to bed and was very well again."🎉
