@HarryCrew9 Indeed. But imagine standing before such a construct in medieval dome. It must have been mind blowing. You could see it for miles before arriving!

Definition of imposing at Lincoln Cathedral. What a great city it must have been in the 13th and 14th centuries! Andimagine what the average uneducated populace must have thought when they looked up at it.

Countries that invest in #rehabilitation have fewer #crime victims, pay lower taxes and improve their societies. #prison doesn't work.

One of my favourite boyhood TV progs. Used to love it when the rest of the family cleared off so I could be one of Robin's merry men without the C20th!

Guess this is what they call feeding frenzy. Acton Marke Place.

And there she went. The last any camera saw of her until the pèsky submarines arrived. Tragedy.

The two stars of the sow. Just started on Channel4 is the second series of the surprisingly excellent prison drama "SCREWS'.

Catch it if you can.

Now look what they're doing in Norway. What a fantastic creation - a roof without the normality of a house below it.

[The Real Peter Wayne @TheRealPeterWa1]

@TalkingPicsTV Absolutely. Will do. You could perhaps give me a five or ten minute slot to critique the previous week's showings or to preview the week to come. Just an idea. I have a strong blacklist ofpublished work in The Times, TheSpectator, Prospect, TLS, New Statesman et al.

@FXMC1957 What a writer, and what an opportunity in later years to transfer his compelling stories onto fim!

@BooksTeaFilms More stained glass in Coventry, designed te year I was born. Very different from the cathedral replacements.

[Dr Naomi @BooksTeaFilms]

The Te Deum window at Holy Trinity, Coventry. It was designed by Hugh Easton to replace Victorian glass destroyed by bombing in the war, and dedicated in 1955. Please note that in addition to the #augustangels in the glass, the bonus angels in the roof!
