I wasn't fully paying attention during the link into that Legs & Co number - did he say something about the new England manager, and if so, why? #totp

Just happened upon this on one of the satellite channels - never heard of it but lots of lovely aerial sequences with Hawker Hunters and DH Vampires, plus a fine cast & directed by Terence Young

So much of that performatic toxic masculinity bullshit is just deep insecurities.

Sure bro, whatever you need to tell you to justify not being able to give your wife an orgasm.

The same evening as this episode of #TOTP, an East German government minister called Günther Schabowski held a boring, routine press conference...

Lest we forget Tom Robinson's brother Matthew directed Colin Baker's Dalek and Cyberman stories, then exec produced Byker Grove. #totp

You know, I think I'm going to stop following the #totp hashtag of a Friday. It's just so relentlessly "this is shit, that's shit, they're all shit". It's mostly not even enjoyably creative snark, just relentless whinging.

Today's James Bond discourse has reminded me of the excellent work done by @graham.loadingreadyrun.com and @wiggins.bsky.social on the "From Rewatch With Love" podcast/YT series a few years back. They had *opinions* about continuity in Bond too...

Pardon my suddenly watery eyes, but a long-time regular just stopped in with this.

He'd been reading, found this line, and thought of me, so he wrote it out and brought it in.
