@rodrigo_marciel Wonderful - thanks so much for sharing! I had memories of that but couldn't remember it.

@RobSetchell Life-enhancing!

[Richard Harrison @RHarrisonMedia]

@ianeditz Oh yes! I'd forgotten about them! Another rip-off. Insane.

A Confirmation Statement (mandatory - and something that the owner has to do) for Companies House cost £13 in 2024. In 2025, it was £34. This year it's £50. Not even those 12 cute iced buns from ASDA have gone up so much in so little a time!

On Eric Morecmbe's 100th birthday, a reminder of his superb football commentary excitement. Like this audio clip, he always makes me smile - a genuinely funny man.

@EltonMaryon @East_Cheam_Lad @TonyHancockAS Lovely to be there - and great to meet you in person, Elton!

[Richard Harrison @RHarrisonMedia]

@BenGrahamUK Yep - Zia's fantastic. He always knows his stuff and I love seeing him speak. A class act!

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the amazing Sir David Attenborough! One of THE great broadcasters, able to communicate so effectively with audiences of any age - quite a gift!

LOVE seeing people find out good news like this! One of my oldest radio friends has been searching for a BBC radio play called "The Wages of Fear" (first broadcast 1961) for decades. If anyone has it, do please get in touch!

"I can't believe it!" Here's the moment @SusieMathis lead singer of 60s pop trio #ThePaperDolls discovered @filmisfabulous has found the group's long-lost appearance on The Morecambe & Wise Show. Today is Susie's birthday 🎁 Read our exclusive interview https://t.co/Rmd0yNkLIE

@MarkHiggie2 Totally agree. Whether it's the ridiculous "diversity" standards the funders often insist on I'm not sure, but it definitely presents an unnecessarily inaccurate picture of the past.

Asked to choose a dozen tracks 17 years ago this month, I came up with this list. I love all these tracks, and the majority would still be on that list!

[Richard Harrison @RHarrisonMedia]

Wonderful stuff - the King showing (again) a deft skill for comedy.

[Ameer Kotecha @Ameer_Kotecha]

Lots of humour in The King’s speech. All delivered with a twinkle in the eye. Content aside, simply as a public speaker, I’m not sure any British politician can match him

[Richard Harrison @RHarrisonMedia]

Under-rated film on @TalkingPicsTV tonight at 9:05 - 'The Reckless Moment'. It's one of my favourites, so comes highly recommended!

Grimly ironic that British poet Rupert Brooke died on St. George's Day 1915 aged just 27. Fabulous poet & writer generally, so remembering him today.

[Richard Harrison @RHarrisonMedia]

Sad to read of the passing of DJ Andy Kershaw. A very distinctive voice, passionate about music, and someone who was (like all genuinely great DJs) a real one off.

Many singers could be anyone else...but not this man. Distinctive and charismatic -remembering Tiny Tim on his birthday today.

[Richard Harrison @RHarrisonMedia]

A little late, but wishing the legendary @WhisperingBob a very happy birthday for today. Perhaps more importantly, sending him very best wishes for a swift recovery.

[Richard Harrison @RHarrisonMedia]

Interesting piece about lost media. OK, there's nothing NEW there (to me anyway), but it does highlight why people like me try to locate items of cultural heritage.

Late night this Sunday on BBC2 - a very rare showing of one of Peter Sellers' last films...'Being There'. Really surprised (yet delighted) to see this in the schedules.

@GeorgeH72711709 @reformparty_uk You're miles away from my home patch, George, but what you say is wonderful - and I totally agree with you.
Wishing you loads of luck!
