Ok. I’m going to try this, just to see if it’s possible. A different Scrooge at the window everyday during advent:

George C Scott in A Christmas Carol (1984)

You there boy! What day is this?

It’s 1st December

The death of multi-camera TV: a thread. I know most of you will know the technical parts of this (and may have read it in the other place) but bear with me. 1/ 🧵

Well, #DoctorWho is 61 today. How better to celebrate? An Unearthly Child, in Lime Grove D, 1963! #CGSets

Probably the last time David drew Mr Benn.
It's a treasured souvenir.

Media figures who cheerlead & champion Nigel Farage every minute of every day are freaking out about Keir Starmer telling a few home truths about the whiny little liar’s racism.
And how the racism he disseminates every day affects real people in the real world. tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

Huh - I really was not expecting Haaland's taste in both modern and canonical classical music to be this good.

We got our own version of 'Thursday Murder Club' on NITFLIX, but it called 'THE MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY MURDER CLUB'.
It about a bunch of elderly Ogrons living in a retirement home.
But it less about SOLVING murders and more about PLANNING them!😁

Ooo the newest iPhone has an eye that opens and looks around while you're asleep. The eye is fully organic and if you put your ear near it you can hear it sliming as it swivels in the socket.

It is looking for things you don't need to worry about.

It's so weird how people always say Ghandi instead of Gandhi. Like, why is that 'h' so impatient that it has to jump the queue?

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.
Philomena Cunk against a collection of classical statues. "Antigone's death is even more tragic than it actually is, which makes her a tragic hero" Philomena Cunk looking thoughtful. "Goya continued to paint tapestries until 1792 when serious illness left him dead for life" Philomena Cunk looking thoughtfully into the distance. "Society is slowly becoming more contemporary now" Philomena Cunk looking into camera on a beach. "Diderot's Tahiti represents a typical male fantasy in which attractive young women are eager to engage in sexual activity with the French"

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

Doctor Who script editor has success with new radio series. No idea what colour supplement this was from, or the date - 1978 I guess as the second radio series had not yet been broadcast. #h2g2
Page ripped from a colour supplement with an interview with Douglas Adams. He's smoking, sitting next to a large CRT colour TV, an acoustic guitar, and a reel-to-reel tape machine.
