I wish more people realised that if anyone has ever publicly admitted that they "don't like The Beatles" in pretty much any way, then you NEVER have to pay that 'person' any attention ever again, or even necessarily consider them to be human beings. That's just how it works.

Having indexed two of these – Soupy Twists! (on Fry and Laurie) and Fab Fools (on Beatles, Rutles and comedy) – I can vouch for their entertaining excellence. If you like this sort of thing too, give a follow to

Are there any fans of Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide, Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie, Blackadder, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue (ISIHAC), PG Wodehouse, The Rutles, The Beatles or British Folklore/Mythology on Bluesky?
Because I'm the bloke who wrote THE book about them. Usually officially authorised.

If you want something to cheer up a dull January, can I suggest this fascinating read from @jemroberts.bsky.social - how the Beatles and comedy intersect, from George Martin working with the Goons to funding Monty Python films. This is great fun and an interesting new perspective on the band.

Nice chat with Roger McGough here.
Recently heard a bit of our audiobook, and I regret making Roger sound a bit of a flat scally – his voice is more of a Tarbuck-style mellifluous up-and-down. Sorry, Rog. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

It’s not just #FabFoolsFriday, it’s David Bowie Day – the one day between his birthday and deathday. This photo proves Paul was his favourite Beatle, but of course it’s The Rutles he’s best known for sneering at. youtu.be/ADgTb7srgcQ?... ✌🏽🎶🃏

Noisy salutes to the great Sir George Martin, the 7th Beatle and Master of Audio Comedy, on what should have been his 100th birthday! Maybe the kidnap did him no favours... www.reddit.com/r/TheBeatles...

POPFAX: The 'My Sweet Lord' that George Harrison sang about was actually Quintin Hogg, Lord Hailsham. Sadly, he never got to know him after all.

THE BEATLES CHRISTMAS CAROL is both the greatest thing made in the name of The Beatles since 1970, and the best version of the Scrooge story since 1843.
