What would an Andy Burnham-led Downing Street look like? bbc.in/3SZVZ2D
☀️ Ray's headed out to the beach on his trike to catch some rays, and as that's over 100 miles away we're taking a little minibreak until his return.
Remember to unplug your aerial if it starts thundering, or to be extra safe nip out and take it down. ☀️

Did you know that Are You Being Served? made a folk horror episode? A proper one based on real folklore?

With a gap in the 2026 Christmas schedule for a returning children's favourite, how about a tender for plague victim prankster Nobody, a sepia psycho ghost girl, or a Happy Day of layline-fuelled psychosis?

Do CRT TV programmes contain more terrifying children than TV terrifies?
Hannah and Pete have been very brave for tackling some of this week's shows.
ALT This week's specials: Terrifying Children? Sapphire & Steel, Nobody's House and Children of the Stones.
An exploding carriage clock and bottle of Heavy Water for vigilant listener Sandburger 1¾, @D_Hollingsworth, reporting 90secs of unintentional silence that had now been removed from our episode. If your podcatcher has it as 1h06m then that's the fixed version, otherwise, refresh!
I spy @unamccormack parachuting in to talk spies & plotting! Leonard Rossiter wants to retire but Death Is A Good Living, we've an atomic WW2 episode of Espionage, and the explosive arrival of The Sandbaggers.

Few things say the passing of time better than the fact it’s now 40 years since these television characters from yesteryear linked arms and sang Auld Lang Syne in the middle of the day in Birmingham to mark the end of the original run of Pebble Mill at One.
#OnThisDay forty years ago - 23 May 1986
After 14 years on air, lunchtime magazine programme PEBBLE MILL AT ONE broadcasts its final edition live from the BBC's Pebble Mill studios in Birmingham.
Can't wait to get our teeth into this!
