Old sound archivist. Waiting until the boat steadies.

@anotherrhall And wonderfully well she did too! A delight.

@LissaKEvans Knitting lessons should be available on the NHS. See also: free recordings of #thejohnwilsonorchestra and 1,000 piece jigsaws. Would improve the nation’s mental health immeasurably. Also cheap.

My musical tribute to Football Focus: the BBC One football show which is to end this summer after 52 years. As a kid I spent many Saturday lunchtimes watching it when it was part of Grandstand. Here’s the Grandstand theme by Keith Mansfield. @BBCSport @BBCMOTD @BBCRadio3

@sophiere22 @_bridgetheatre Wasn’t it sublime? Great to hear Jordan Fein at the end.

@RRussellDavies See also: hope deferred maketh the heart sick (as said by my grandma every Christmas when my grandad failed to get her the present she’d been hinting at since Easter).

@SejalSukhadwala @LissaKEvans on it - you could pretend it was good for you

[Tessa Kulik @Tkuli]

@SejalSukhadwala @LissaKEvans You had to be quick as it (being sweet and toothsome) it sold out straight away. Loads of fresh fruit chunks, cream and a tiny bit of wholemeal sweet gunge to keep it together. I still base my own trifles

[Tessa Kulik @Tkuli]

@SejalSukhadwala @LissaKEvans The baps were lovely. For a while, they also did a very nice trifle (unlikely, but true).

@glosswitch @LissaKEvans We’ll all catch our deaths if they stay behind in this weather.

[Tessa Kulik @Tkuli]

@LissaKEvans Wonderful. I thought my heart would break as I watched Josh Finan’s face. He didn’t even need to say anything. Awards all round.

[Tessa Kulik @Tkuli]

@AmandaPCraig Agreed. The trouble is we’ve had Slow Horses since …

Perfect story from Tom Stoppard obit:

His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

@LissaKEvans The most harrowing part was the agony of waiting for the moment she would find her sweet little doggy with a stake through his heart (as is always the fate of sweet little doggies in every other thriller I have ever seen). No spoilers in case you’re still watching.

@LissaKEvans fat fingers? Moi? Is he/isn’t he …

[Tessa Kulik @Tkuli]

@LissaKEvans She’s great, isn’t she? Matthew Rhys also brilliant as the is he/isn’t bloke.

[Janice Turner @VictoriaPeckham]

I never expected to write columns arguing a self evident truth: it’s unfair for women to compete with males.
And I never expected male colleagues to write it doesn’t matter, or that a male boxer smashing up women - only last year in Paris! - was progress.
Unforgivable.

[suzanne moore @suzanne_moore]

While I was at the cinema, Davie resigned and a lot of blokes continued to literally mansplain the important issue of trust in the BBC . To women who have patiently explained why they have lost trust in the BBC. It's almost as if they cannot hear us.

[Sonia Sodha @soniasodha]

Only the BBC can save itself. I've written for tomo's @thetimes on how resignations aren't a fix: the BBC needs to confront the governance & editorial failures that have made it so vulnerable to unrepresentative groupthink on issues like sex and gender.

@Chrishdouglas Lovely! I have Blue Suede Shoes and Wendy’s Wish still blooming like the clappers
