My record for switching on 6Music and hearing the word “iconic” now stands at a mere 15 seconds. Can this be beaten…?

Love the Big Match Revisited for the social history as much as the “tricky surface” football. This week, saucy flick “du jour” Emmanuelle (“Don’t Miss…”) advertised next to The Best of (One Day At A Time Sweet Jesus hitmaker) Lena Martell. Two late Chelsea goals meant the game ended 3-3.

A 2025 obsession that continues into 2026 is the great films on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social with Edward Woodward starring in super-rare British supernatural chiller The Appointment at 9.55pm tonight, Jan 1st. I reviewed this on blu-ray here. #TPTV

I still get a bit emosh when Kim Appleby pops up on the #totp reruns. An absolute banging tune and brilliant performance.

Note to self. Don’t take blood pressure while watching #totp reruns when Robbie Williams is on…

40 years old this week (I’d say today but that was a Friday and records were released on a Monday in the UK in 1985). ABC’s How To Be A Zillionaire. It’s a pop masterpiece and still sounds ruddy ace.
