  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.

  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.

  28. Starting tonight on BBC4, a return to magical children’s television from 1984. Forty years on, enjoy an adaptation of John Masefield’s The Box of Delights.

  29. 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.

  30. Is the narration on #VolcanoesOfTheSolarSystem machine generated?
    It's so slow, weird and boring all at the same time it can't be a real human.

  31. @amarchivepub For #UK #MastodonUK @everybody@everybody We neglect #Radio at our peril. I don't own a T.V, it smacks to much of '#BigBrother. For news I rely on #BBC4 #BBC #WorldService For #Sounds #BBCSounds. 🎶 🎵

  32. Tonight is 10pm Monday 26th Dec #BBC4 is repeating the amazing #JohnByrne series #TuttiFrutti starring the late great #RobbieColtrane and #EmnaThompson. Two episodes each night for three days. At 9pm tonight also a tribute to Robbie Coltrane narrated by #CeliaImrie. BTW saw Tutti Frutti no that long ago and although it's comedic there's some dark stuff in there too, be aware.

  33. UK TV alert! #BBC4 is re-showing Dennis Potter's classic 6-part drama serial "The Singing Detective" , starting tonight at 22:10

  34. Watching #MaryBeard interviewing #RobertHarris about #JuliusCaesar and making some very good points about the strategies of populist demagogues, including Trump. Excellent programme. #BBC4

  35. While retro #totp is all very good, if you're a #Microdisney fan, you're on for a treat at 10 on #BBC4. If you don't know them, check out the documentary. They should have been bigger but I'm kind of glad they weren't. So many good tunes. #AndTheClockComesDownTheStairs

  36. On #BBC4 #todayProgramme 14/10 there was a piece on the #UkraineWar about civilians evacuating their homes because of the Russian invasion. It was depressing, not just because it was an evacuation but there was the thinnest of contexts. This was the morning after more and new evidence of murdered, surrendered Ukrainian soldiers. Now 'today' there's this documentary of the Russian Army using civilians for target practice in Kherson. Owenna Griffiths Ed. please check this x.com/CaolanRob/status/1843749

  37. Right, I’m off to watch the #Proms on #BBC4. It’s #Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Well, I prefer to think of them in the original. The Quattro Formaggi.
