Also, I've only ever seen one episode of The Young Ones, and even then my dad came in and turned it over. That was the thing EVERYONE was talking about in school.

My mum ripped up my 2000th issue of the Beano in 1980 because I was reading it at the breakfast table. I still bring this up with her.

Thanks for the pointers. I've seen Chernobyl, but Succession doesn't appeal for some reason. I'll see how many docs I can fit in before it runs out on Friday.

Seems to be Sky Max, Documentaries, Witness, Comedy, Nature & Sci-fi, plus some other U channels and a few more which don't appeal.

Yesterday I helped (mainly chauffeuring) my youngest set up a stall selling her artwork in an actual shop in the actual Trafford Centre, Manchester 🤩
It’s upstairs in Kenji for the next 2 weeks if anyone’s around there.
Or scan the QR code that’s on the stall and that has links to her Etsy shop.

The 4+ hour Billy Joel doc?

Anything worth watching on these channels that Sky are offering for free this week? I've watched Poker Face (still excellent), and have tried The Paper but it's putting me off Tim Key so have bailed on that.

Wow, that's terrible news. Black Messiah is an all-time favourite.

This has given me an earworm of Army for three days and I'm only halfway through.

Blimey, I rattled through that one. What a life (or two) he had.

We've got the Essentials package, but there's a free week of the Ultimate TV channels, so Sky Max, Documentaries etc. Really struggling to find anything worth watching though.

I remember seeing them posted on a forum back in the bad old days, so I've probably got the mp3s on a hard drive somewhere. I should try and find them.

With great sadness we share that Vince Williams passed away in the early hours of today Monday 13th October.

After a quick decline in his health, Vince was moved to the Lister Hospital on Saturday afternoon.

Vince was deeply loved and will be missed every day.

Nice to see the old @ilovealcopop.bsky.social / Art Brut t-shirt still has the power to confuse the locals. The lady in the library earlier thought it was the real deal.
