I like films, the odder the better. Interesting music and literature. I occasionally take pinhole photographs.

The sign of a truly great biography is one that you cannot put down even though you had no previous interest in the subject. The Great Dictator by @drmatthewsweet.bsky.social is precisely that. What a writer. Sweet, not Babs, that is. What a life - Babs that is.

PLAY FOR TOMORROW: SHADES (1982) This fascinating Play for Today spin-off series placed modern worries into dystopian sci-fi stories. 'Shades' combines nuclear anxiety with Ballardian tower blocks, and even predicts virtual reality glasses!

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.
Right - apparently some of these are struggling with ticket sales. I know, I'm shocked too. BUT - if you were hoping to attend and hadn't got around to booking yet, then NOW IS THE TIME
