Great show chaps !! Not watched open all hours for eons.. brings back good memories! The diamonds are forever film on itv that night .. I have that complete recording from back then

Really enjoyed this ! Simon’s work particularly with the Jam and The Style Council speaks volumes so I know this will be an excellent book. Thanks Joe .

Worth the wait !! #thebeatles #rubbersoul #hmv

Did you notice actress/singer Kate Robbins in the concert sequence in the ‘James Paul McCartney ‘ tv show?

Our new podcast is out today, and this month, @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social and @gkw.bsky.social are with the Beatles, looking at four related TV shows: Around the Beatles (1964), James Paul McCartney (1973), The Music of Lennon & McCartney (1965) and Magical Mystery Tour (1967).

Next month the first episode of our brand new podcast Episode Number Nine launches, and we're going to be looking at Open All Hours. Personally I think Granville was David Jason's greatest role, and Arkwright was possibly Ronnie Barker's. Who's with me? OUT SOON! @episodenumbernine.bsky.social

Also,in tribute,the name of a pub in Oxford

Paul McCartney’s 40th Birthday Celebration’s from June 1982 on the set for the ‘take it away’ promo #paulmccartney

@eggpod.bsky.social listened again to the McCartney ‘Tug of War’ podcast from April 2020 (with Andy Miller) over the weekend..the ‘Take it away’ promo was mentioned.. so though you’d like to see this from ‘club sandwich’ issue 27 from 1982 (assuming you’ve not already got this :)

Remembering comedy legend Peter Sellers, born #OTD 8 September 1925. He met Hancock in the RAF and the pair remained friends. Sellers appeared in an episode of Hancock's Half Hour, The Marriage Bureau, and they appeared in two films together, Orders are Orders and The Wrong Box

Also in Cavendish Ave,the house where Billy Fury once lived (I took this May ‘25)

It’s been a brilliant series !! Mark Lewisohn gets asked ‘when’s it coming out’ ,so Chris … ‘when’s it coming back’ ?

This is from 1989,but haven’t seen many interviews with Richard O’Sullivan youtu.be/i4PkT3FL37Q?...

So sad to hear about Richard O'Sullivan. Such a talent and brilliant as Robin in Man About The House, my favourite sitcom of all time. He did so much more besides, and was a reliably warm and witty presence in everything he turned up in

Neil Simon's first screenplay. And the Bacharach/Hollies/Sellers theme song is fantastic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUdz...

Need far more than four to be honest .. #4albumsthatchangedmylife

Our tabby doing what she does the best ! Happy international cats day!

From the March 1980 reprint of June 1967 Beatles Monthly,an account of Paul McCartney’s Japan Incident by @marklewisohn.bsky.social A well researched article displaying Mark’s brilliance.

First saw this age 14 in 1986,late night BBC1 (still got the vhs .. yep I know !),completely confused,yet after a few watches it made more sense. Watched it originally for John Lennon but the cast is so good .. Jack Mcgowran especially.He is also so good in the film ‘The Fearless Vampire Killers’

This is so A.I. but actually I like it! My favourite Kinks song.. see what you think… #thekinks youtu.be/K9RNDODz6lM?...

Wow !! So much in this second part! Great to hear so much about ‘the village green preservation society’ by The Kinks plus so much more nuggets of info not familiar to me. The podcast just gets better and better!!! Thanks Chris and Andy!
