Listened yesterday, intrigued by the potential for interaction but got caught up in the storytelling. No idea what’s (ultimately) going on so far but I’m looking forward to the next episode.

In the 80s I had a handed down advent calendar that had seen my mum through the late 50s and 60s. Tuck the doors back in carefully for next year, and if you’re lucky you’ll have forgotten which picture was which day.

Enjoy it now. You won’t be able to afford hot cross buns when you’re retired :-)

I saw Fleetwood Mac above Black Sabbath and I refuse to engage any further. Safest for everyone, and particularly for my blood pressure :-)

Same here, but I do remember being awestruck when I watched the first one at the pictures - it was like he’d reached inside my head and put my visualisation on the screen.

Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that. He was a lovely looking cat. I hope you’re overflowing with good memories.

It would seem an odd bandwagon to jump on. Who would it appeal to, that wouldn’t be likely to be opposed to their other policies? Anyway I’m kind of glad I was oblivious, I would have found it very confusing as a child.

That is really interesting, particularly when you think about mainstream views at the time.

I can’t get my head round that at all, I think of NF as urban but maybe that’s hazy memories of them from my youth. I have no doubt your book will astound me.

My brain keeps snagging on National Front environmental policy.

My brother turned 65 this summer and I’m simultaneously horrified and relieved. As you say, it’s a long, long way off for me and yet I seem to recall that being the case when he turned the ancient age of 40, and I can barely remember 40 now…

Stunning. So many arresting images.

Totally love this series, I get very excited every time there’s an episode available on Sounds.

I always skip the scientific ones, I’ve had quite enough of that thank you :-)

I quite enjoy researching family history, but some afternoons with the scans of parish registers I think ‘I’m just cataloguing dead babies’ and I have to take a break for a while. Sometimes you wonder how the parents kept going.
