Failed the audition for Blockbusters and still bitter about it.

Mostly ranting about films, old TV, Top of the Pops and The Archers. Nearly halfway through the Crossroads box set!
Your regular reminder that John Peel married a 15 year old girl but for some reason his #totp episodes still get shown

Its a shame they didn't do what Rentaghost did and have the pantomime camel turning up in every episode after this #totp

I remember Terry Wogan always used to take the piss out of "Believe" for sounding like Sparky's Magic Piano #totp

David Lowe talking about repurposing "Touch and Go" for The One Show theme #totp

The One Show music had to change the mood on BBC One coming after the News. It also had to reflect that the show was about people. This is how I did it...#theoneshow #BBC #MusicProduction #Composer #S...

Note the different approach to referencing the age of an artist from Kate Thornton introducing Aerosmith in the next #totp

Looking forward to getting stuck into this! Must be the first time @podcasthill.bsky.social has been mentioned in the same paragraph as Kate Winslet?
