Slightly losing the plot watching this old Arena on Ken Dodd on BBC4, because I swear that’s a pile of #DoctorWho Target novelisations at the end there but the resolution’s too low for me to properly make them out.

I’m right though, ain’t I?

Well quite. I mean I quite like some Napalm Death on occasion but it really doesn’t suit the winner’s swagger as much

You only win when you’re sat further away, which gives more time for the walk up music.

Ordinary, or turbo?

Never mind, we can just ask ChatGPT how to fix this

The fact that not only is the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is still increasing, but the *rate of CO2 increasing* in the atmosphere is still increasing is true nightmare stuff.

Ryan Katz-Rosene, PhD @ryankatzrosene.bsky.social · 22h

“[Last year] CO2 in the global surface atmosphere increased by 3.5 ppm, the largest one-year increase since modern measurements began... This increase was driven by continued fossil CO2 emissions, enhanced fire emissions and reduced terrestrial/ocean sinks… which could signal a climate feedback.”

I guess you had to be there. Well, I certainly did, instructions from my boss. But it was a beautiful stupid moment that I shall forever treasure

Thing is, we rounded a corner, and there it was. But the driveway we were on kinda spiralled around where it was parked. So we were then locked in to a laboriously extended beautypass repeatedly circling the Enterprise (van)

Had the music in my head, just audible over my uncontrollable giggling fit

We were approaching the site in his car. “Look out for the white van,” he said, checking his notes. “Says here it’s called - Enterprise”

Y’know, the hired van people

A number of years ago I was helping to clear out a warehouse of old BBC Children’s programmes props. The bloke I was assisting was waiting for the delivery of a hired self drive van to take everything away somewhere else-

With no engine fitted, Bessie had to be pushed out quickly on cue by several stewards. I was one of them.

The cue took ages to arrive, with Bert Wee getting a bit irritated.

The effort worked like a dream when the lift doors were flung open though.

It was the 1993 Panopticon.

Bessie was on display downstairs in the exhibition and dealers room.

It was decided that Pertwee woukd make his grand entrance to the main hall driving in Bessie. From the goods lift.

Wait what, Jon Pertwee was sat, in Bessie, in a LIFT?

Tbf we did use to have a ginormous car-sized one at Pebble Mill, so it’s not entirely unpossible.

I need to hear more of this tale

I’ve been in a lift with:
- Peter Davison
- David Troughton
- Colin Baker
- Hacker T Dog*

Who’s the best famous person you’ve been in a lift with?

(competition not open to my brother who had Reg Holdsworth off of Corrie DRESSED AS ELVIS and would otherwise win by miles)

I think you win this one. Front runner so far, at the very least

Russell Parker @pussellrarker.bsky.social · 22h

Numbers 1, 3 & 4 of mine, plus presumably the quoted tweet of Steve’s, and kinda my brother’s encounter (work experience week, same basic thing) are all equally workcheaty, so no shame here!
