It took a year longer than we expected, but tonight we celebrated our marriage in a room full of all the people we love.

@metrodle Hiya... the site has been down for the last 3 days. And just when my count of first-guess wins overtook my second-guess wins :(

[Dave @dflite]

@mblansjaarmusic @TheUnderworld @youngknives @Crosstown_Live Brill, thanks! Looking forward to it.

@TOTPFacts TOTPFacts is the only thing that brings me back to twitter these days. Would you ever consider cross posting to BlueSky? There’s often a lot of of TOTP chat over there?

[Dave @dflite]

Uninstalling this app for a while. Should have followed others and left some time ago. I’m still on Bluesky, Mastodon, or just whisper my name on the wind…

BBC’s coverage of the 100 meter final was fantastic

@NHPat30 I was in the TVC central apparatus room on Saturdays from 98 onwards, and had the job of lining up the NTV OB in the middle of all the football feeds 😀

They also were not told who were lighting the cauldron / in the final procession, so had to recognise them as they were shown. a masterclass in commentating.

Rest is Entertainment on the #OpeningCeremony is staggering.

Andrew Cotter prepared for months for the facts for each country. And Andrew and Hazel Irvine were told not to use umbrellas by officials so had to do the commentating soaked to the skin.

@WhenIsBirths @budocbudoc Brilliant! On the night it was cross-faded in to the middle of s1e1 for the rest of the hour with no explaination, and was never repeated

[Dave @dflite]

@WhenIsBirths @budocbudoc Ah.. but which version of series-1 episode-6 is up there? The one that got pulled off-air mid Diana-Funeral Sequence or the other version?
R1 Controller Matthew Bannister later said that he thought that Diana Funeral bit was a myth and it never went out, but I've got it on tape!

[Dave @dflite]

@EwaSR @Brainmage That sketch is 100% the reason my wife and I know Michael Collins’ name. It gets mentioned more than you’d imagine.

[Dave @dflite]

As one of the boring people mentioned, yes, they really help me get over some lowish level social anxiety 👍

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

Board games are only useful for boring people who require structure to socialise

[Dave @dflite]

@Thorfinn1960 @simonhardwick Only because the Beeb uses a competitor product to do the same job. If it had been that one that went down we’d be very much in the same boat.

[Dave @dflite]

One of my favourite comedians on my current very favourite podcast. Can’t wait for them to come back on for the later series!

[Better Than Life: A Red Dwarf Podcast @itsBTLpod]

Dimension Jump is out now! Andrew is very insightful on why Red Dwarf is perfect for young people… and metalheads. Linktree in bio. @destructo9000 #reddwarf #smeghead #boysfromthedwarf #itsbtlpod

[Dave @dflite]

Reminded today of this gem

[Dave Gorman @DaveGorman]

I might be imagining this but it sure looks like the Queen has a lot of photos of Rod Hull and/or Emu in her room.

[Dave @dflite]

One final time....

[Dave @dflite]

@paulsylvester75 I've just spent the day with fellow ex 963er Drew Hird btw. Trying to ignore how many years ago all that was.
