  1. Why was an idiot from Israel's 'Natzi Re-enactment Society' allowed on today?
    What would we do "if a flotilla of boats came to (deliver food aid to) Birmingham", he asked. Mate, the Red Crescent are already there. They have a big warehouse and do amazing work.

    If violent trrrists came, on the other hand, we'd pull all the plugs out of the canals, you idiot! But the flotilla was coming to deliver aid to the people his government have been starving. Doesn't he know he's a Bad Guy?

  6. "Culture Wars tend to be wars that aren't fought economically, they're not about money. They're about values. And, because of the internet, they've become so ubiquitous that they now swallow up everything."

  9. @Rhedmtf It looks like the #snooker has been banished to #BBC2 where it belongs leaving #BBC4 clear for all the #TOTP shenanigans 🙂

  12. Jon Ronson released a podcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2022 called Things Fell Apart, which I'm finding very insightful, if occasionally disturbing.

    This episode though, focusing on a post-Pizzagate story, hasn't aged quite so well;

    bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0012qxd

    It kind of treats the story of an elite pedophile ring as a QAnon trope; silly and obviously wrong. But the release of the Epstein files very much substantiates that story.

  14. Elkie Brooks proving that you can have a career in popular music that spanned the 60s and 70s and still be coherent and able to remember it in 2026 🙂

  17. Watched the last 2 episodes of Boys from the Black stuff (drama set in 1980s Liverpool) yesterday evening.
    The final one was very moving.
    I've been fortunate to meet real life "George Malones", working class organic intellectuals, committed to just struggles and a key resource in the local community.

  19. and now on #bbc4 to follow up from all those #totp episodes, the Simon & Garfunkel gig where they clearly hated each others guts.

  20. Wow, the #BBC4 show, “Fukushima: Days that Shocked the World” really leans hard on the victim blaming #radiophobia crap.

  23. Górecki e Pärt — Música Sacra (BBC Four)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0bWaiE6t3Q

    Dritte Folge der zweiten Staffel der Serie „Música Sacra” (Sakrale Musik), produziert von der BBC. In dieser Folge lernen wir etwas über das Leben und Werk der Komponisten Henryk Górecki und Arvo Pärt und erfahren, wie ihre sakrale Musik die kommunistischen Behörden ihrer Heimatländer Polen und Estland verärgerte. Henryk Mikołaj Górecki (1933-2010), polnischer Komponist, wurde bekannt durch seine Sinfonie Nr. 3 – Die Klagen, insbesondere durch den zweiten Satz, in dem ein Gebet an die Jungfrau Maria gesungen wird, das 1944 in Polen von einer 18-jährigen Frau in der Zelle geschrieben wurde, in der sie von der Gestapo gefangen gehalten wurde. Arvo Pärt (1935), estnischer Komponist, bekannt für verschiedene Werke, darunter Spiegel im Spiegel, Fratres, Tabula Rasa, Credo, Miserere und andere.

    It's official: #BBC4 will switch off its AM broadcaster on 26/09/26, which means the end of the #shipingforecast after more than a 100 years of service.
    Sad day for sailors, #sailing and #boating
    😞

  31. These country classics on #bbc4 take us both back many years to when Modern American Square Dancing was a huge part of our lives.
    We danced to many of these songs all over England (and me in Texas).

    The British Square Dance movement - once hugely popular - lost its way and has been on life support since Covid.

  34. Watching a fascinating BBC4 Storyville "Beyond Utopia" that I recorded ages ago about defecting from North Korea. Nothing is off limits to the documentary. So they must have been willing to blow everything; their methods, contacts, routes, safe houses. So why was this the last one? They didn't say. #Storyville #BBC4 #NorthKorea

  37. I really don't want to diss all these lovely people who've practised so hard, but I can't help feeling that the theme of tonight's #BBC4 #prom is "music a detective show might use to indicate that an important witness is having a psychotic episode".

  38. Credit where it's due:
    To #BBC4 for showing "The War Game", made but suppressed in 1965, on impact of a #nuclear war on SE England. Very powerful.
    Apt for #HiroshimaDay in this time of know-nothing #warmongers like the wretches Starmer, Healey, von der Leyen, Rutte.
