It’s exactly 50 years today since the Muppet Show was born in Britain. Here’s the doc we made marking this for Radio 4. Presented by Louise Gold who played Annie Sue Pig. Have a listen. It’s fun from start to finish. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002nv0…

Very Sad news. May be the broadcasters can do a proper tribute to this legend who goes back to carry on teacher and the cliff Richard films long before man about the house, robin’s nest and Dick Turpin et al. @sallythomsett

So coming soon, a whole new radio station available online dedicated to history, nostalgia, drama, comedy, music, quality discussion, documentary but NO NEWS NO HYPE … and the very best of Distinct Nostalgia and more. Available online via a dedicated app.

Sad to hear about the passing of Jimmy Cricket today. Always a good sport, funny man. We have some material never broadcast so will hopefully release that as a tribute. RIP Jimmy

Television turns 100 this week. Little mention in the UK media of this big global milestone created right here in Britain by Scotsman John Logie Baird. Have we stopped looking back at the 1920s? - a hugely significant decade which still impacts on the world today. Bizarre!
