Well, from proper right-wing Tories (and MUCH worse), TwitterX CAN be a shitty 6 sometimes, just SOMETIMES, you get to chat with your childhood. Robin Askwith

New McVicar poster and saucy still

Good film, marred only by the fact that instead of being shot in misty Yorkshire to mirror the TV series was shot in a prosperous leafy London street. The only similar location-fail I can think of was Cemetery Junction, set in Reading but unaccountably shot in picturesque Stroud.

Remembering the Actor Paul Shane who passed away on this date in 2013 😇🙏

YAY THEY FOUND HIM

Ron with his daughter, the lovely Rebecca Lacey ❤️ She's an absolute treasure

New regional cinema poster

Deryck Guyler – The Great Gnome Robbery
A 1973 single written by Mike Sammes and Myles Rudge that was later reused as a b-side for Brian Murphy's 1978 release Jogging. Possibly released to cash in on the popularity of David Bowie's 1973 top ten hit Laughing Gnome. Who gnows?
