Watching the 4k of Hammer’s X the Unknown. My copy keeps freezing. Anyone else having this problem?

LinkedIn has just suggested I ‘connect’ with Glen Matlock.

This Louis Armstrong concert looks incredible for a 1968 recording. A miracle it survived the Tape purge.

Satchmo’s pianist looks like he might sell me dodgy petrol coupons or hooky nylons #bbc4

It’s not the hats getting laid that are the problem #totp

Is he going to make himself some toast before leaving? #totp

There have been many stories about Robert Plant’s Big Log… most of them told by Robert Plant… #totp

I got this cassette around this time #totp

I thought the guitarist had a really weird hairdo even by 1983 standards, then twigged it was a hat. #totp

Noel Cronin was much prettier when younger #totp

Ok, this wins tune of the night #totp

I was very briefly and surprisingly a Boz Scaggs fan at this time. #totp

Are they doing this routine with their slippers on, like Peter Cushing in Star Wars? #totp

“Treat for you, girls, it’s sitting down dancing this week.” #totp

Trying to think what major female gangster you could write a song about now and all I can come up with is Baroness Mone #totp

Boney M have the word ‘winkel’ behind them in big letters. #totp

That’s weird thing guitarists do when they watch each other play while grimacing. It’s very ‘I’ll show you mine if you show me yours’ #totp

Has he been dressed by June Hudson? #totp

Is Dennis’ daughter the product of a reality series? #totp

This has real ‘divorced dad taking his kid to McDonalds the first Saturday of the month’ vibe #totp

Another Creature From the Pit anecdote. June Hudson’s next story was Destiny of the Daleks. ‘There’s this Davros thing in it,’ she said, ‘but no one will supply me with a pic of it.’ So I lent her my copy of the M&S Dalek Omnibus which had a full-page colour pic.

I watched a lot of Creature from the Pit being recorded. I remember them excitedly discussing the forthcoming Paris shoot, but also how the hell they were going to do the unmasking scene. #TheFilmCrowd

Looking forward to Tarantino”s Oh I Wish I’d Looked After Me Teeth.

Studio execs are going to want to adapt more poems for the big screen now

As a kid I had flu just before Xmas. Delirious I dreamed my sister -who worked in the BBC Wardrobe stockroom at TVC- telling me she’d nabbed one of Bill Oddie’s Goodies t-shirts which had shrunk in the wash. On recovery, it seemed an odd thing to imagine. Until I opened my drawer & found the t-shirt

Sorry to hear about Tom Chadbon. I spent a day playing a Sontaran opposite him 26 - sheesh! - years ago. He was a delight.

The great forgotten rock track of the 70s #billoddie youtu.be/iVlmQ2a3Dr0?...

It’s time for CD reissues of all The Goodies’ LPs

When I was 10, AA films (you had to be 14) were so frustrating; so near and yet so far.

RIP Bill
