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!
Love the girl in the shirt and tie next to Kid Jensen making abundantly clear she's not going to be "going places" #totp

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

Oh right, “FIZZ Fridays”. As you were.

For completists: the late night of repeat of yesterday's second 1998 episode was the version with the uncut George Michael video, and that's now the version on iPlayer #totp

B.A. Robertson is intensely annoying but he is great as a washed-up singer in a fantastic early Film on Four called "Living Apart Together" in which he wears this amazing knitwear creation #totp

I mean the chorus of Rollercoaster is blatantly "Theme from the Double Deckers" isn't it! #totp

First episode of #ZCars was great. Didn't spot future Monkee Davy Jones till his name came up in the credits!

OK time to catch up on #ZCars!

I love the “that’s showbiz!” fact that Terence Donovan was billed as the lead for the cinema release of “Money Movers” but by the time of the DVD release he’s billed below Bryan Brown (who’s role is tiny)
