Wit, raconteur, bon viveur. He is none of these things. A purveyor of cheap mummery and piffle since 1976. Throws random words at a screen for Set The Tape. Bluesky’s foremost Biggles: Adventures In Time aficionado.

I think i might start using these comedy/tragedy masks from the Bradford Alhambra as reaction memes.

Yeah, I'd prefer if he wasn't in charge of the nukes when he says things like this.

Tomatoes don’t have blood.

Although I suspect that Count Duckula would probably go for this.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Honey Graham Cookies (1994-1995): A Canadian release, these honey-graham cookies were shaped like characters and ships from the show, and offered a collection of six hologram stickers

A cookie box. The background is outer space, and the space ship from Star Trek: TNG soars across the top. Beneath the words "Star Trek The Next Generation Honey Graham Cookies" are a belt of tan cookies shaped like characters from the series

Truly believe there should be more space for multi-cam drama on TV. Just as comedies are made in different ways to suit the material, so it should be for drama.

The death of multi-camera TV: a thread. I know most of you will know the technical parts of this (and may have read it in the other place) but bear with me. 1/ 🧵

I have been assured that these are all the correct dates. Do come, if you can. Personally, I would never pass up the chance to see someone like me. I'd hate to miss that.

Important PSA from Mr Rain here - also worth noting a few of these films have dedicated @smershpod.com episodes too, in case you want to revisit after a fresh viewing!

It’s more that it’s actually being aired on ITV, not just available on the ITVX app.

It’s a bit like when ITV2 shows the Family Guy/The Simpsons crossover episode, seeing the Springfield universe with an ITV2 bug on the top left doesn’t sit right.

Dunno if it’s just me, but my brain does a little wobble every time I see this.

Star Trek? On ITV? Surely it should be 6pm at Wednesdays on BBC Two?

Farts Johnson posting his Tron Legacy playlist gives me a chance to repost the Star Trek Legacy video by Patrick Collins which he made a cut of Star Trek The Motion Picture with Daft Punk’s score for Tron. It’s nice. I’d like someone to recut a version of TMP w/that like Soderbergh’s Raiders

9 October 1956:

John Lennon buys two 78rpm singles on his 16th birthday.

The singles are hugely influential to the young Lennon: Hound Dog by Elvis Presley; and the Ying-Tong Song by the Goons, written by Spike Milligan.
