Via @Radiojottings, 30 years since Radio 1's rather splendid "Easy Night". And long wondered if @jowhiley at any point thought "I'm missing Doctor Who for this" https://t.co/kPucs4YtRD

@sparry951 Ha!

Even the greats weren't always as well-read...

[Lucinda Tobyjug @msloobylou]

From the Andy Kershaw obit…

@JamieDyer89 We had some of the books when I was a lot younger. Didn't see the TV series for years, but the books felt a lot funnier.

@MittensOff Limiting it to just his mouth is a bit too kind.

@Paliakythro_ann Better you than me remembering the lead singer's solo offering. "As produced with Lenny Kravitz's backing band" (!)

[Robin Blamires @RobinBlamires]

The honest sell. But nailed.

I hope we are all excited for I'm A Celeb South Africa tonight, featuring celebs you've already seen doing things they've already done. In South Africa!

@Request90s Would much rather forget. Though the Yazz version is quite good.

[Robin Blamires @RobinBlamires]

@Request90s One they didn't even want released, hoping "Karaoke Queen" would be the second single. Which did happen in the autumn but didn't sound as good as on the LP.

Oh my. Scott Mills sacked...

@markdennison @jruddy99 @PickGS Young people get older too. If Radio 2 was still doing what it was 25 years ago, it would have died along with many of the presenters...

@ArthurPDen52570 @IamJackThursby @RichardStraw10 And penned by Peter Howell to boot. (The one from 84-88).

@HjRobins One of my earliest. And lived up to that name in said story ;)

Once upon a time, breakfast television was worth watching…

A plea to parents. Explain to your kids that a train carriage, and athletics track aren’t the same thing. Unless they want it to to
turn into a hurdle track via my leg.

[Robin Blamires @RobinBlamires]

@SerLeighton @SatMornings Have been watching a few of them on YT. Hilarious if not the intention!

The thick-as-shite brigade, again attempting to allign the BBC as the cause of someone's death.
