Leaving do for Julian, one of my very favourite BBC producers. He joined in 1979, was threatened with death by a Nobel laureate, and once accidentally broadcast a widely believed April Fool piece on March 26th. Here he is dancing a farewell jig.
When I was a boy growing up in Kettering I dreamed of lunching at the bar in a little place in Town on a work day.

At Deal helping Dickie learn his lines for Twelfth Night and I’d forgotten how marvellous a part is Malvolio. I want another play about the revenge he will have on all of them.

@RevRichardColes I applaud your niche musical references - not often Paul McCartney and German pop experimentalists get mentioned in the same sentence. What was the documentary? 'Wings, Bins and Almighty Dins'?
@RevRichardColes Rarely read your posts without recourse to Google search 😂🤣 - only to find today that I've Ribollita in Tuscany without knowing what it was called😁
