Being too young to watch it first time around, I've now finished "Callan" - and was thrilled to see the Poole Pottery twintone tea & coffee set make no fewer than three separate appearances in series 4. Kudos to the Thames TV props dept. My old mum would have been well chuffed.

Such a great send-off. RIP William Russell, who was there at the very beginning.

I've seen some ridiculous opinions expressed in my time, but the eclipse of April 2024 must mark the most visible display of human idiocy and willful ignorance ever recorded.

A woman, unable to get an abortion due to deadly anti-abortion laws had to carry to term a baby that was found to have no kidneys at 24 weeks. I’ll say that part again, no kidneys and was forced to carry the baby for an additional 13 weeks until she gave birth. Deborah
