Inspired by reading the lovely Terry Jones biography by Robert Ross to revisit Ripping Yarns. It’s comedy perfection start to finish, so well written and performed by Jones and Palin. Easily up there with the best of Python. Every episode is great but Tomkinson’s Schooldays is a masterclass.

RIP Joe Caroff, much overlooked graphic designer who gave us some fantastic movie posters. He also designed the iconic 007 gun logo. #film #graphicdesign

Once upon a time, before podcasts were ubiquitous, I produced a series called Utter Shambles for @robinince.bsky.social and @josielong.bsky.social
We had brilliant guests, but a lot of episodes are lost. Around 25 still exist out there, they were really fun to do and I recommend you seek them out.

Hey. Hey! Thinking of a lovely stocking filler for a loved one or nemesis this Christmas? I have two books with that would be excellent choices. One even explicitly mentions Christmas, so really there’s no excuse. Get them here: linktr.ee/adrianmackin...

Egypt have gone to town with their stand. Inside they’ve got the exhumed remains of Howard Carter.

Props to Morocco for the effort that went into their stand. Looks like something out of Chessington World of Adventures.

Wonder how much they paid Chris Hemsworth to be the corporate face of the Abu Dhabi tourist industry. I’m sure he doesn’t need the cash…

Hello lovely people. I’m new around these parts. I’m a comedian, writer, part-time historian and author of two books - and counting. This is my latest. Death and the Victorians. It’s a hoot. Happy to be here. Let’s just wait here a while and see what happens… #books #writing #historian
