This was an obsession for me!
BBC Four is repeating This Life to coincide with its 30th anniversary, beginning with a double bill on Wed 18 March with a new filmed intro from Daniela Nardini. #ThisLife
What's Your Story? - interactivity-anticipating semi-improvised Children's BBC drama slot involving viewers sending in plot suggestions marshalled by Sylvester McCoy in a Book Tower/Whodunnit?-style very slightly in-character 'Extra Doctor Who' gambit.

'What's Your Story?' was great. The way the crew could turn things around in 24 hours with writing scripts and building sets was very impressive. I remember Sylvester McCoy raving about how the set builders managed to create a beachfront with water flowing in and out. So good!
If you're a fan of Ice Road Truckers, series are spread across ITVX, 5 On Demand and BBC iPlayer! I've never seen one programme spread across several main broadcasters.
The Wait is Over!!
#DianaRigg #JamesWilby #DavidMcCallum star in MOTHER LOVE (1989) Premiere 8pm 'Episode 1'. Kit and Angela plan to wed after a whirlwind romance, but Kit has a reluctance to introduce Angela to his mother, Helena...
I'll say it again.
An excellent drama, adapted by the legendary writer Andrew Davies. This came out a year after his final series of A Very Peculiar Practice and a year before his adaptation of House Of Cards! Diana Rigg deservedly won the BAFTA for Best TV Actress for this. A must see!

It's March 1st! Feels like only yesterday that it was February.
I did play a tree once actually! ๐
CRIKEY! ๐ฒ You might have seen me in a well reviewed play, well it was a school play and my mum said I was okay.
I think some people can never be truly content. Which is a bit of a shame when you think about it.
Cheers Gavin! ๐๐
Would he have helped gather the cast together?
Feels like a lifetime ago Jonny.
RIP Rob Grant. ๐

I knew I was a bit of a vintage comedy geek but every time I hear them mention 'The Gorton and Denton by-election' I think of Galton and Simpson.
Same. And every time Biffy Clyro is mentioned I hear Jimmy Clitheroe.
This must be after her Byker Grove era and around her MTV era?
The Green Party is very different to what I grew up seeing in the 70s & 80s. Men in woolly jumpers with woolly hair talking about nut loaf from a commune.
What a line-up!
I got curious, so looked up the best rated eps of ST:TNG from each season:
1: Conspiracy, 8.1
2: Measure of a Man 9.2
3: Best of Both Worlds 1, 9.3
4: Best of Both Worlds 2, 9.2
5: Inner Light, 9.4
6: Chain of Command 2, 8.9
7: All Good Things..., 9.1
Your annual reminder that this exists.
CLEO LAINE SINGS ABOUT JOHN THAW AND SHEILA HANCOCK COMING OVER FOR DINNER!
I once thought I'd dreamed this, but rediscovered it during lockdown.
It was on a BBC 4 documentary about 7 years ago.

ITS not IT'S! BLOODY AUTOCORRECT!
Thanks Gavin! And I hope you're all enjoying the weekend.
BARB has published it's top 10 most watched programmes of 2025. What's noticeable is that The Traitors and The Celebrity Traitors both make the list. #TheTraitors
Ange Postecoglou has been speaking about Cristian Romero, why the defender gets angry with Spurs, says the Tottenham players fear him and admitted he didn't want to tell him off in training. Also good stuff on Van de Ven and what he still needs to improve. www.football.london/tottenham-ho...
