🚨BREAKING: Local hero "discovers" UTC—solves all the world's time zone woes while simultaneously inventing the wheel and sliced bread. 🌍💪 Meanwhile, somewhere in a parallel universe, the sun still rises in the east, and no one cares. 🤷‍♂️

It's 10:30. I haven't quite finished cooking dinner. I'm a bit tipsy and fed up. It's near the end of one year and the beginning of another. Can I?

@nminow Tip of the proverbial cap for #LocalHero and its amazing #soundtrack.

Perhaps Scotland's most famous phone box, in the beautiful village of Pennan on the north Aberdeenshire coast. The one actually used in the film "Local Hero", which was partly made in the village in 1983, was a prop placed nearby. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/pennan/pennan/index.html

We're "watching" something called Local Hero, where a pair of celebs journey to various spots on the globe and compete in local shenanigans.

Lowish budget, semi-scripted, kinda reminiscent of Joko & Klaas: Duel um Die Welt.

She's actually watching something on her Handy (prolly Netflix), and I've only got half an eye on the TV, for the shenanigans. I could give a shit about the background, and galavant around #HephalumpWorld.

*looks at you*

You have a spot on your shirt.

Lovely episode of BBC Scotland’s #Landward, available on the iPlayer, celebrating 40 years since classic Scottish #film #LocalHero was made. Including great content from key location in #Pennan in #Aberdeenshire. As well as a related segment where photographer Shabhaz tracks down red phone boxes in #Angus. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001mrrs/landward-2023-episode-10 #Movies #Films #FilmLocations #FilmingLocations #Scotland #ScottishCinema #ScottishFilms #Phoneboxes #RedPhoneboxes #Countryside #RuralLife

I was kind of hoping for a #TedLasso final shot that would echo #LocalHero, given the amount of red phone boxes shown but it was suitable ending that was true to the series, so no complaints.

Along the Buchan and Moray coast to track down Cullen Skink in its native habitat.

Our octogenarian soupremo judged the Seafield at Cullen to have the best ever skink.
