George is loving this morning's Desert Island Discs, especially the Get Carter theme and the child singing Singing in the Rain.

I remember, decades back, a story about the premature demise of an otherwise promising Labour minister, for having accepted a £300 watch from a high-placed Saudi source. Voila, the press furore. A 🇺🇸 #diplomat, I think he an ambassadorial staffer in London, responding on #BBCRadioFour said, to the effect: ""£300! You Brits don’t know the meaning of “#corruption.” Well, we’ve caught up. #Johnson #NadhimZahawi #Westminster is an appalling place. Memories of #JoCox & #DavidAmess very much alive.

I really think Tony Jones and Samuel West are the hardest working actors in the land as they seem to be in practically every radio 4 drama I’ve listened to over the last couple of weeks (as well as Toby Jones in the Detectorists of course).#Radio4 #BBCRadioFour #tobyjones #Detectorists #samuelwest

This made me laugh. I love this series but this one was particularly enjoyable. #BBCRadioFour

#introduction I hadn't realised it was the form to do those here.
I'm Ian. I used to be a curator of TV but I'm much better now. I write. Highlights include a couple of books on TV, some radio comedy, a couple of #BBCRadioFour documentaries and drama (much of it #DoctorWho or Doctor Who adjacent for #BigFinish Productions). I also do bits of sound design and performing, write occasional short stories and riff terrible old movies for #RiffTrax Presents.
I'll largely prattle nonsense here.
