45 years ago, I went to my first "proper" concert. It was Gary Numan at the Hammersmith Odeon with Nash the Slash as support. I bought a programme, which, miraculously, I still have, and I thought I'd share it 😊

@TheCriticMag @mykebartlett Great article, Myke. I think it was a decade of two halves. For me, pop music reached its zenith in 1980-1, and 84 was a great year for sure. However, the latter part of the decade: Jive Bunny, Stock Aitkin Waterman, and the hell that Top of the Pops became 🤮

@mykebartlett That season was chock full of corkers. I can't pick a favourite, but I think if I had to, it'd be The Seeds of Doom.

@byrne_padraig I dislike them intensely.

[Mike Bennett @TheMikeBennett]

@byrne_padraig Here's Garry Laffan going up this morning. First on the totem pole, though he won't be lonely for long.

@kamiroshiru You sound as if you're a few seasons behind. The first book was the first season, then there's 2, 3, 4, and now 5 just starting. My advice (and I'm heavily biased) is to relisten to the first season then work your way through the rest🧛🏼‍♂️🎧😊

[Mike Bennett @TheMikeBennett]

@HepsibahYvette Just re-listen to the last episode of Season 4 and you'll be good to go 🧛🏼‍♂️

@DeLoachJW 😄 Thus far, I haven't stepped on any mines. But then I'm not very well known. I imagine if/when I become better known, I'll become more subject to criticism. My defence for my voice characterisations has always been that they're there to differentiate characters. Nothing more.

[Mike Bennett @TheMikeBennett]

@DeLoachJW Thank you. I do try to keep the story neutral in that respect. I want everyone to be able to enjoy it as a piece of entertainment, which is all it sets out to be.

[Mike Bennett @TheMikeBennett]

@DeLoachJW To do so is not illegal. If it were, the media would all be thrown in jail, especially for things like this, published today: https://t.co/PricovcFuI

[Mike Bennett @TheMikeBennett]

@DeLoachJW They do have laws governing hate speech, as does the EU. However, the arrest of someone criticising the monarchy is out of order, and was called out for being so. This doesn't usually happen, and shouldn't happen, ever.

[Mike Bennett @TheMikeBennett]

@DeLoachJW He chuckled because he's joking. He'd get some flak for it from some quarters, but he wouldn't be arrested.

[Mike Bennett @TheMikeBennett]

@DeLoachJW I guess it would be in comparison to the US. I personally think the NHS is a fantastic thing. Where did you hear about people getting arrested for saying something against the orthodoxy? People do that all the time and they don't get arrested.
