Life is a rock, but the radio rolled me :-)
I was a total Teletext Nerd & Ceefax-Head as a kid into my late teens. This is Nostalgia AF and I *love* it. Warms the cockles of my old lady heart. You're bloomin' awesome, @nmsni.co.uk xx

When I first heard of this story I assumed that the animals were unwell, or at the very least there was a false positive - but no, apparently it's perfectly acceptable for government officers to stand at the side of the road & shoot healthy cows now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I thought I knew this skit, but watching it again it's an even bigger work of genius. Not least the little bits of business the Stilgoes do in the background, interacting with each other. Lord only knows how much studio and editing time this took.

Hum. Here we go again. Last summer we'd two wasp nests in the garden, I've just discovered this year's hiding place. Didn't bother us last year, so hopefully it'll be the same senario this year....🤞

As a life long shift worker, switching on the OOO, just approaching 2am, is honestly one of the best feelings ⛱️ 😃
Bill Oddie, what a lovely bloke. He wrote us a letter when we started making The Young Ones, wishing us the very best, and warning us against interference from higher up. He didn’t know anyone in the cast personally. It just came out of the blue. Lovely thing to do.
Thanks to @aswiseman.bsky.social for letting me know about the existence of this. A special Olympic Symbol from the BBC in 1972. I'm just knocked this up quickly as an experiment... youtu.be/kpYq1zqVsmE

One of my favourite episodes of Free Thinking - Bill, Tim and Graeme on the politics of the Goodies.
Farewell Bill, most radical of the Goodies. Present at Grosvenor Square with Tariq & Vanessa. Turned his harassment by the Met into slapstick TV comedy for kids. Angry, hairy, furiously talented.
Aw no. The Goodies. The first programme I ever remember watching on BBC 2. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

His agent pays tribute to the "multi-talented" broadcaster, comedian and conservationist.

Unexpectedly hugely sad to hear Bill Oddie has died. A brilliant songwriter, this one is a psychpop gem, shades of The Move and the Manfredd’s Up The Junction and catchy as hell. youtu.be/xYVBnizAwEE?...
