The sheer joy of this thread, and its sub-discussions, is why we're all here really…… xitter.cf/holland_tom/status/909…

The kind of sentence that a 1930s scholarship exam would have required an 11 year old to translate into French... xitter.cf/RevRichardColes/status…

Kool & The Gang looking so out of date here on #TOTP 82 because the US missed out on the huge changes in the UK 78 - 82…

Imagination with a rework of their song now on #TOTP - was there anything ever more camp?

Fabulous nonsense from the Pirahnas here, and in an instant #TOTP 1982 blows away all that 2000 rubbish

Sigh. Yet another person who didn't pay any attention in French class, and so has completely forgotten about unit 5.3

The best thing about performative anti-Spoonsism is that the rest of us can go safe in the knowledge that we'll never bump into the most tedious people in society

Always hear ‘it’s a right odd affair’ not ‘it’s a right I defend’ on this Barbra/BeeGees mashup. Now you will too. #TOTP

It’s incredible. Every time I’ve heard it before it sounded like someone reciting some words for the sake of it. This is the first time I’ve ever heard it and properly understood it. He’s a tremendous actor.

Andrew Scott delivers this speech too slowly; I know some viewers will hate the way he breaks up the verse. AND YET even in spite of that I think this is the best delivery of this soliloquy I’ve ever seen. He makes it sound like it’s not a portentous speech everyone already knows but a morally serious real-time deliberation, by a highly intelligent person in extreme pain, considering what it would mean to end his own life.

“Here on Radio 4 many of our audience are over 60. They don’t understand the terminology [of sex and gender] …” A very foolish age-based line to draw. Women of 60 are women of working age who must understand responsibilities, liabilities and rights at work under equality law
