Loving Herbie Hancock's vocoder keytar setup on #bbcfour now

Forget JB's footwork, I'm more interested in that Moog Model D #GeniusOfFunk #BBCFour

I am almost through
Watching Die Hard 2
For the 38th time
I would go insane
On a burning plane
I gotta block out most of the pain, just like John McClane does
I wanna look myself in the eye, and be a normal guy
And say some cleverish shit when I’m about to die

I watched #TheWickerMan (1973) back in the early 90s on TV (I was way too young to watch it) and remember wondering why it looked so bad.

Watching it on #BBCFOUR at the mo and thinking how amazing it looks now. You can watch it on #BBCiPlayer as well: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Play for Today: Schmoedipus
was a strange but good script by Dennis Potter, as expected. Anna Cropper, Tim Curry, John Carson & Bob Hoskins all gave very good performances. Sadly Carol MacReady, who was also very good, may be the only surviving member of the cast. #BBCFour

Pick: 'Schmoedipus' is on #BBCFour at 2200.
Okay, so this is a cheaty one; I've not actually seen this… at least, not in this original Play For Today form (only the later theatrical film rendition). The BBC are pulling it out for a rare airing, the first since '74; I assume in honour of Tim Curry.

At his best Noel Edmonds is a really good presenter and this Swap Shop showing has shown that. (I’m not going through all the S’s.) From the comparatively small amount I’ve seen, a few full editions and lots of clips, Swap Shop might be the best tho he’s done. #SwapShop #BBCFour

I remember seeing the 30th Birthday Swap Shop programme in 2006 and what I liked about it was Noel looked really happy to be there. He’s always appreciated the legacy of the show. #SwapShop #BBCFour

Misheard lyrics: 🎶Just a little toffee. Just wanna be a winner. Or a bit of coffee. Just wanna be a winner. No fish food cause I don’t have gills. Just wanna be a winner. Need to get rid of my spots with some clearasil. See one, feel one, touch one.🎶 #SwapShop #BBCFour

Maggie Philbin as a punk? Cool! #SwapShop #BBCFour

I wonder if any of the editions these clips come from exist in the archive? I’ll go out on a limb and say probably not many. #SwapShop #BBCFour

Apropos of nothing, two of the guests on the first ever Multi Coloured Swap Shop were Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen. I think the footage of them was discovered after 1996. I’m happy to be proved wrong. #SwapShop #BBCFour

Good old Barry Took. That reminds me , I think the license fee is far too low. 😉 #SwapShop #BBCFour

Nicholas, the guy doing the rubix cube challenge, later appeared on an edition of The Adventure Game with Graeme Garden and Carol Chell. #SwapShop #BBCFour

Noel getting some ideas for his future, flying a helicopter and peering into other people’s houses. #SwapShop #BBCFour

“Eric, I’ve pulled your knob off.” Noel, Tiswas is that way. #SwapShop #BBCFour

“There will always be Saturday morning television”
Message from 30 years in the future: It’s gone, Noel. It’s just cookery shows now.
Repeating this feels like a bit of a BBC own goal.

Andi Peters aside, Live and Kicking was very much up my street. At least until SMTV Live came along. #SwapShop #BBCFour

Who knew Barry Manilow could be so funny? #SwapShop #BBCFour

I think I have vague memories of Going Live. It would’ve been right up my street. #SwapShop #BBCFour
