    Old episodes of ‘Hi-De-Hi’ on Gold in the afternoon have become strangely addicted viewing. :)

    Sadly, there is nothing so far in the series to match Paul Shane’s ‘interpretation’ of ‘You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling’ :D

    From watching this I have learned that Wimbledon had a player with the excellent name of Peter Fear

    I don't know how I missed that at the time

    Here is a Peter Fear fact

    Was he playing for Palace in that cup final?

    I was delighted that when I saw a player with Fear on his shirt, I thought "Ah, that's Peter Fear".

    There something I didn't know I knew.

    No he missed out on FA Cup glory, alas

    This is the most recent Fear news
    He was also a contestant on Ken Bruce's BBC Radio 2 'phone-in pop music quiz Popmaster on Thursday 13 May 2010 and again on Thursday 31 January 2013. During this last appearance, Peter informed the host that he was working as a cab driver

    It's all very worthy and I hope they raise lots of money and thanks to all the Front Line Workers and Stay Safe and Stay At home ...

    But it's a bit like being dragged along to a School concert which goes on for hours and you only really want to see a bit of it. Dreadful performances of songs and you would much rather be down the pub

    Yeah, I'm on exactly the same page.

    Great, well done, lots of excellent funding collected.

    But I'm actively trying to avoid it, even the thought of it makes me cringe for some reason.

    Think I'm scarred by that celeb Imagine video from a few weeks back.

    Meanwhile, Simon Reeve is excellent and his shows are always deadly.

    That was brilliant from the stones.

    Still more talent in their baby fingers than any band around now.

    Just finished all of Line of Duty. Very good if you allow for some questionable handy conclusions being leapt to. Need VPN for iplayer

    Might try TWIN also on BBC

    Up to date with Better Call Saul. A weekly delight. Netflix

    The Tiger King well worth a watch. Netflix

    Heard People Just Do Nothing is now on Netflix so will start that next I think

    Who’s presenting the RTE show?

    Player won’t stream it in the UK.

    Doireann Garrihy and that Eoghan McDermott chap

    RTE cheerfully including the American presenters saying things like "Thanks to IBM for buying thousands of surgical masks, great bunch of lads", BBC not so much.
