I think I need to go back to bed: reviewing “Space Babies” meant a late night!

“I think you express your own pomposity and other people's and get probably to the real truth of the way you live.”

Tony Hancock, 12 May 1924 – 25 June 1968.

And a radio comedy …


Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        It sounds a bit like what’s happened, here, Olga: the local council wards got re-organised for the local election.   It’s not quite the same, though!   We don’t do street parties … !

        At any rate, I hope the day went well!   (Oh, Spain came in 22nd at Eurovision: four places below the UK.)

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        I always preferred “Baba O’Riley”, Debbi: that keyboard riff is something else!   (You don’t have access to Disney⁺?   Ok … the packages might be appreciated … )
