Congratulations Colin. Locust is right about streaming. I’ve been recommended Crowdcast as a decent site to host and monetise streams and I’ll be looking at it more this week as well as this robotic “hot head” […]

The Muppets introduced me to Mr Bass Man as well as Lydia the Tattooed Lady and other high culture.

Unfortunately, this attitude is not confined to the employers of 20 year olds and will become more common once furlough is wound down and the true extent of job losses becomes apparent. Anyone over 50 who isn’t […]

No new Taylor Swift album Lodey.

“What tha fuck has Emily brought back this time?”

Hmm, that’s an idea. I’m currently thinking about themed film nights too, not streamed obviously. I also had a conversation with someone I know who plays in a band with a well known frontman who are keen to do liv […]

I remember this at the time. Play.com got most of the stick but I hadn’t realised it was so widespread.

I always associate Jake Thackray with That’s Life. “Growls, Sausages”

Maybe his international profile is beneficial to the world wide broadcasting? Even I know who he is!

I found it astonishing that she was highest paid a couple of years ago as I barely knew who she was and don’t think I’ve ever seen a whole programme that she presented. I was vaguely aware of her doing the sec […]

This reminded me of My Book by The Beautiful South

This is my life and this is how it reads
A documentary that nobody believes
Albert Steptoe in ‘Gone with the Breeze’

Like the banks, too big to fail….. er, hang on……..

Isn’t the whole production company thing just a hangover from John Birt’s days, insisting that a certain percentage of shows be made by “independents”? I doubt Steve Wright does anything outside of a BBC facility […]
