Great way to sign off from Radio Times. My interview with David Attenborough, for his new series #PerfectPlanet
Seems improbable that this boy from Brixton who left school at 16 with no qualifications should have succeeded so. Great parents, great mentors, great pals.
That’s how.

@tim_rolls I remember listening to the first match on the radio (as you did) bussing up to Trafalgar Square ahead of the final whistle to celebrate the expected victory only to find the place deserted.
Normal service - and a celebratory march from TS to SB - resumed after the replay!

@dmacook Sounds like you came face to face with the force of nature that is Barbara Charone. In which case you didn’t stand a chance😂😂

Insanely poor judgement of the BBC News team to lead the 10 with Trump’s puerile war of words when there’s an actual war going on.
It’s the consequences of his actions that require first-strike editorial analysis not his child-like poking of Starmer. #BBCNEWS

TV drama at its best and most important, forensically destroying whatever credibility the water authorities in this country have. “It’s starting to look like organised crime,” are words that ring shockingly true. #dirtybusiness

[Surfers Against Sewage @sascampaigns]

This is the definition of a MUST see. At 9pm on @Channel4, for the next 3 days, the human cost of our profit-crazed water industry will be brutally exposed. You will be shocked, heartbroken & outraged by the inhumanity & injustice of this #DirtyBusiness

@sirichkirby Rescued by Canonville, ruined by Rougvie and, to make matters worse, our hire car broke down on the way home and we spent the night freezing our nuts off in a service station car park🤣🤣

I’m sure the viewing figures for the Traitors will justify, in the minds of some, the decision to displace the 10pm News, but right now on this huge news night it looks a massive mistake.

@CFCCath Leeds played two up front in a very fluid, attacking formation. The complete opposite of a low block. They just out thought, out fought and outplayed us.

@adepstein1 @afneil He’ll be delighted you’ve declared him in a two-horse race with Boris Johnson, your previous nominee.

[Terry Payne ⭐️⭐️ @TerryPayne_]

@afneil amusingly scathing about the “low level committee” quizzing BBC execs tonight. “The quality of the questioning was appalling…lacked any forensic approach…some of them could barely string six words together. The Watergate hearings it was not.”
(Note ellipsis)

[Terry Payne ⭐️⭐️ @TerryPayne_]

GB NEWS just got the first question at tonight’s White House press briefing and Beverley Turner teed up Karoline Leavitt to go all attack dog on the BBC, describing it during a lengthy answer as a “leftist propaganda machine”.
So, no conspiracy to damage the BBC going on here?

[Terry Payne ⭐️⭐️ @TerryPayne_]

@ajcdeane @holysmoke From what I can see most staff are appalled by the Trump edit. What’s your point?

[Terry Payne ⭐️⭐️ @TerryPayne_]

The ridiculous things some media pundits will say just to get themselves noticed. Just a Poundshop Katie Hopkins begging for attention and bookings.

[Angela Epstein @adepstein1]

The next BBC Director-General should be a former journalist—preferably print—immune to woolly woke orthodoxy, a strong communicator, attuned to the public, and able to apologise when needed. I give you… Boris Johnson. And I’m not even joking. #borisjohnson #BBC

“There are tiles off the roof. It’s horrific”. Not sure hurricane Melissa should still be leading tonight’s BBC News.

[Terry Payne ⭐️⭐️ @TerryPayne_]

@lib_thinks …And the use of “workshopping”.

[Terry Payne ⭐️⭐️ @TerryPayne_]

Lyse Doucet is such a supremely impressive journalist.
Makes the transition from correspondent to anchor look effortless and her grasp of the many complex issues in the Middle East and the names of the key characters is without parallel. At the very top of her game this morning

[Terry Payne ⭐️⭐️ @TerryPayne_]

Spoke to @HamzaYassin3 ahead of his wonderful #WildIsles series which starts tonight.
Do give it a go. It’s a gloriously soothing look at the wildlife on our doorstep - a five-star mood-enhancer.
And look out for his show-stealing nieces. They’ll melt your heart.
Here’s Hamza

Before ⁦@CarolineWyatt⁩ goes on air at 1700 with #SaturdayPM have a read of the interview I did with ⁦her recently to mark the 10th anniversary of her MS diagnosis. Pretty inspirational I’d say.

@michaelastracha I was fortunate enough to interview her twice Michaela. Here’s one of those pieces. She seemed to combine gentleness with a formidable resolve to make the world better. Or, as she described herself, an “obstinate optimist”. Wonderful woman. Amazing story.

[Terry Payne ⭐️⭐️ @TerryPayne_]

One of two interviews I did with Jane Goodall. As a strikingly attractive Deb who was presented to the Queen she could have ended up with high-society chumps. That, at the age of 26, she chose chimps says so much about her judgement. A remarkable woman with a remarkable story.

[Mark Braxton 💙 @BraxM]

Jane Goodall's fighting spirit and crusading zeal shine out of this @RadioTimes interview five years ago.
