Well, Small Prophets was rather lovely. In today's world, there's nowt wrong with a feel-good whimiscal comedy with grounded characters. I hope there is a second series

People will remember the great films Robert Duvall enriched, but spare a thought for the less than great films he nevertheless made better. Deep Impact, Days of Thunder, The Outfit. The very definition of an actor who never gave a bad performance
People who suggest actors in their 50s for the next James Bond really annoy me. We are a year or two away from production starting, and we all want a series of several films. So, the new Bond clearly needs to be in their 30s, or maybe even late 20s if we reboot his career pre-spy
If you miss hearing me talk about war stuff this weekend. I urge you to watch me being interviewed by Jacob Watson-Howland here www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc7f...

Congratulations to Frank McDonough on publication of the latest volume of his #SecondWorldWar series, this one focused on the Holocaust. @paulmcgannon.bsky.social read very movingly from the book, at @hatchards.bsky.social this evening.
I believe this is what young folks call a "banger". www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSnR... I am so excited that this is one of the songs the Damned are covering on their forthcoming Brian James tribute album

A reminder to my followers from the WW2 history world, I am always looking for new guests and subjects for my YouTube channel. Battles, social history, biographies, niche research - all welcome. www.youtube.com/WW2TV Here are some recent shows to give you an idea of the variety of subjects.
Mag and I went to a couple of the exhibitions at this year's Bayeux Calvados-Normandy Award for war correspondents event. Whatever our feelings about politics, it's important to acknowledge the role of journalists covering conflicts around the World
Tomorrow at 19:00BST I’ll be on @ww2tv.bsky.social having a chat with Woody about Jungle Commandos and answering your questions! So if there’s something you want to know about the Third Arakan and/or the book, now is your chance to ask! ☺️

I am beginning the journey of "processing" my best bud Colin's passing yesterday. It was on the cards - cancer of the oesophagus is one of the shittiest ones, but we were hopeful, especially after he had a brief upturn 3 weeks ago. I'll miss you mate, the beers, the gigs, the war talk and the craic
I tell you what Content Creators like to see in comments. People pointing out all the things you DIDN'T say about the subject. We love that, we really do. Nothing pleases us more, after all the effort put in to streaming, to be reminded about the omissions. Do that more, said no creator EVER!

Is it getting harder knowing where to pay for a meal at restaurants these days? Will you bring the bill to my table? Or do I need to go inside, and if so, do I need to know my table number? Does the server have a machine? Will you tell me how to pay, or do I need to figure it out myself?

YT comment of the Day. A viewer called @bfc3057 said I was "hiding behind anonymity" Yep, somehow, despite the fact I appear in every show, wearing my hat, with my name under my image, I am hiding my identity. Unless I am not me? And if I am not me, who the fuck am I? Shit, am I an AI creation?
Don't suppose I could tempt anyone to try the William the Conqueror novels I wrote with @jaironside.bsky.social ? The beauty of it is you can imagine all the colours you like
YouTube comment of the day, on a Bagration video: "Hard to believe, only now in 2025, a western writer work a book about the worst deffeat of German Army. Why not publish before. It was prevented by The FBI, CIA, The Ku Klux, Klan, John Birch Society."

Mel Brooks films. Unquestionably, his "best" movie is Young Frankenstein. The cinematography, mise en scène, cast and writing is pitch-perfect. However, Blazing Saddles is funnier, The Producers is braver, Robin Hood Men in Tights has the most gags and Spaceballs is probably his "geeky" best

A trip to the area north of Utah beach today, including Barfleur. There will be strolling on the sand, probably a spot of Atlantic Wall clambering and definitely some nice food
Just opened a fab IPA brewed down the road in St Lo. I have been finding IPAs all a bit "samey" recently. This is very nice
It was so great to welcome @ww2tv.bsky.social onto the show. Well worth a listen, folks!
