How gorgeous is this? Cruising my narrowboat along a London canal and these swans and their cygnets paddling alongside me. The cutest thing. (Apologies for dodgy camerawork as trying to steer my boat at the same time)

Remembering the sublime genius, Maurice Cole, AKA Kenny Everett, who passed away on this day in 1995.

Here he is in a very famous sketch alongside his friend and regular co-star, Billy Connolly, that took almost a day to record. Why? Well, because they hadn't hired any extras for the sketch they roped in some music hall performers who were recording in the studio next door and they all appeared in costume, much to the amusement of Kenny and Billy. The punchline was reached eventually, but they decided to include the outtakes.

God bless Cuddly Ken x

The Hound of the Baskervilles is 87 today. First of 14 films with Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson, it’s a cinema landmark, defining the duo’s on-screen image for a generation. For many, Rathbone remains the quintessential World's Greatest Detective
