Cannot overstate how important seeing Floella Benjamin being unapologetically herself on TV was in the 70s and early 80s, and what it meant to thousands of us little children up and down the country. Representation matters. Thank you from one of your Playshool Babies. ❤️
Baroness Floella Benjamin@floellabenjamin.bsky.social · 2d agoToday it’s 50 years since I first presented Playschool wearing my blue beads and silver heart. I adore bringing joy into the lives of my Playschool Babies during the 12 years I was on the programme. ❤️
Morning. Last week I found out for the first time that Champion The Wonder Horse (stalwart black and white 50s schedule filler up to 1993) was a spin-off. Champion was Gene Autry’s horse, and it was a 1955 cash in on the success of the Gene Autry Show. He’s like horse Frasier.
We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.
Brian and Charles alert! Brian and Charles alert! If you've not seen it, do so, it should be held as highly as Paddington in the British consciousness.
Captain Howdy@captainhowdy.bsky.social · 2d agoIf you're not in the mood for the Hitchcock double-bill on BBC2, later, you could always watch 'The Incredible Shrinking Man' and 'Brian and Charles' on Film4 from 1.05pm, today. While not a pairing I'd ever have thought to make, they're both sci-fi films with a lot of heart.
It's been happening forever, and will happen forever, that rich people fuck off to lower-tax areas and frame it as political defiance of some law they personally don't like. 'Seatbelts in cars make it impossible for me to deliver wealth.' 'Without smoking in pubs, how am I meant to...'

Our tradition of showing this one each #SundayMorning started on Twitter back on 01/06/2014 & it has run, uninterupted, ever since (barring about six months in 2024/5 when I left social media). This is "Sunday Morning, Farringdon Road" by Cecil Osborne from the collection at Brighton & Hove Museums.
From the late ‘60s, a souvenir model of the Post Office Tower (as was). Per the blurb on the back: “The Tower itself is 619ft high including the 40ft steel lattice mast. The aerials and associated radio equipment will eventually provide for as many as 100,000 simultaneous telephone conversations.”
As the blue plaque records Peter Schuyler Bruff 1812-1900 masterminded the building of the railway to Ipswich so it is appropriate that there should be a Victorian postbox at the station. #PostboxSaturday #Ipswich #Suffolk
Spotted this type 'C' double-pillar and, surprisingly, a disused post-mounted stamp vending machine, whilst walking along Caledonian Road, January 1st 2023. This SVM type was battery powered; unreliable and costly to maintain. Both box and SVM have since been removed. #PostBoxSaturday

Radio Times@radiotimes.bsky.social · 5d agoFrom the mind of Charlie Brooker, Blackmere is destined to be an "absurd comedy" like no other 😵💫 Here's a sneak peek at the show, coming to Netflix early 2027.

HOLY CRAP! "DUCKS" hit ONE MILLION views on YouTube today!? 🤯 Thank you to everyone who shared it, commented, told me they loved it/hated it/hate me for making it. It's really mind-blowing that someone I made sat at a desk can be seen by so many eyeballs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8vZ...
Of course, my first technical challenge for #GBBO had to be a coffee and walnut cake. It’s loftier in stature and more assiduously decorated than usual, but the cake’s just as easy to make and unlike the bakers in the tent, you’re allowed the recipe! thegreatbritishbakeoff.co.uk/recipes/all/...
I had long suspected this was the way to get attention but it's good to get confirmation.
Did my first proper big belly laugh in a very long time to this. Magnificent.

I like to smuggle a tiny piece of luggage onto the carousel at Yo! Sushi.
Two people I knew took their own lives last week - we still view mental health with too much cynicism and not enough compassion - remember @samaritans.bsky.social and @calmzone.bsky.social - it is not weak to share how you feel #mentalhealth #depression #suicideawareness
*wakes up from a coma after 28 years* Hey, I wonder what happened to that 11 year old girl who rang This Morning to sing Pie Jesu.

Over the last few months these guys made me proud to be British: kind, practical, profoundly moral, a testament to this island. Now they're targeted by the very worst of us. I just gave them a bunch of money. You should too. Show those fascist clowns what's what. rnli.org/support-us/g...
