During the drinks breaks at the World Cup, we're playing who is your favourite Wesley? Wes Streeting? Wesley Snipes? Wesley from Star Trek? Wesley Sneijder? Second half drinks break: who is your favourite Keir?

Is Pep off to do some Trivago adverts?

Listening to Paul Temple makes me think that Bob Mortimer would be proud to name all the characters. #BBC4Extra

That's one hour 40 minutes that I will never get back. #Snooker #ComeOnRef

When the Levellers is the sound track to Beyond Paradise and you are living the dream.

When Richard Madeley is your champion and calls out Reform live on #GoodMorningBritain That!

What a week on ITV 4! Morecambe and Wise in the Sweeney and now Bruce Forsyth in Magnum PI. I should cut down on the coffee.

Send medicine! I'm having another fever dream. I've just spotted Morecambe and Wise in an episode of The Sweeney! It reminds me of the day I spotted Robin Askwith and Paul Chuckle in an episode of Madame Blanc.

#DetectivesInOtherSeries Anthony Howell (Paul Milner in Foyles War) lwas ast night in Grace as Fergus Doyle. Seems like he never got away from Brighton in 1945 when he let down Sam.

I fear that I am afflicted by a bad base case of James Mason. I can't help but say the name of James Mason in the voice of James Mason.

This week, I saw Alan Bennett driving a Tesco van!

Steven Robertson (Sandy in Shetland) played Tom Naresby in Vera. #DetectivesInOtherSeries

DI Mervin Hughes (Don Gilet) appeared in Series 1 of Father Brown as Douglas Brown #DetectivesInOtherSeries

I have absolutely adored Junior Bake Off. I rarely watch Bake Off. @channel4.bsky.social / @channel4tv.bsky.social are missing so many tricks with the adult version. "Nice to see um, it's Rav and Liam."

We've got to that stage in life when we are comparing funeral / cremation service ads on TV. List of shame? 1. Co-op (Respecting the choices of the deceased) 2. Pure Cremation (Man in bath) 3. Simplicity Cremations (Those folk singers. What are they doing?) If you have your favourite, let us know.

Looking forward to my trip to the Festival Hall later to introduce the TS Eliot Prize readings. I’d better polish up my gags and aphorisms!

#DetectivesInOtherSeries Ralf Little Sergeant Pickford - A Pocket Full of Rye and Neville Parker - Death in Paradise

Go see!

Recently, I've got very emotional over Beyond Paradise and now Father brown. If only I could be a real boy, one day.
