Failed the audition for Blockbusters and still bitter about it. Mostly ranting about films, old TV, Top of the Pops and The Archers. Nearly halfway through the Crossroads box set!

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Doctor Who,” or “Transformers".

Transferrable skills ... from almost causing death by dangerous driving to working in an abattoir. #TheArchers

Ah right ... press night is tonight so presumably they went to an earlier performance and posted the review a day early

I thought Meg Mortimer had sprouted a pair of horns till I realised she was sitting in front of Reg Cotterill’s brass wall ornaments #Crossroads

Glad to see I hadn't imagined this as this is what sprang to my mind when reading the dirtyfeed article! I couldn't remember the name of the show, but my memory is the host was Khalid Aziz. But maybe they had more than one presenter.

Well this is quite an opening paragraph! From “A Five Year Sentence” by Bernice Rubens (1978) #booksky
Miss Hawkins looked at her watch. It was two-thirty. If everything went according to schedule, she could safely reckon to be dead by six o’clock. Maybe I’ll listen to the news first, she thought to herself. I won’t need to bother with the weather forecast.

Wikipedia suggests “Chip Shop Wrapping” by Allen and Blewitt, released as a parody of Rapper’s Delight in 1980.

I guess we have to assume that nothing untoward went on until she was 16. Seems very weird to todays eyes, but to be fair they did stay together until 2003! #totp
