@greateranglia Would you be able to pass on my thanks to the driver of the 1713 from Liverpool Street to Cambridge for her regular informative and engaging announcements about where the train did and didn't stop, please? Excellent customer service
If anybody knows a way to get access to a YouTube account where it's not possible to access the email address the verification codes are being sent to, can you please let me know?

Remarkable viewing figures for the Gavin & Stacey finale: 12.3 million.
Five years ago the overnight audience was 11.6 million, growing to a 28 day figure of 18.4 million (with those catching up on iPlayer etc.)

12.3 million watched Gavin and Stacey: The Finale on @BBCOne - and almost 10 million watched Wallace and Gromit!

This is incidentally one of the best and most lovingly compiled newsletters online. And it deserves more attention than it gets.
And here are this year's Christmas Creamguides. Thanks yet again to @outonbluesix for all his help, and while @MrPhilNorman and @wheeltappers were unable to be with us in the end, they're always welcome back creamguide.substack.com

Sad the pointing fat bloke had left the band at this point to embark on a solo career
The second of five UK top 40 hits for Fugees, "Killing Me Softly" was the first of their two consecutive number one hits and stayed there for five non-consecutive weeks during June and July 1996. #TOTP
He wore the rucksack but didn't even do the bit
The first and joint-biggest of five UK top 40 hits for 3T, "Anything" peaked at two for three weeks in February 1996. #TOTP
Babylon Zoo continuing the grand Christmas Pops tradition of an act crawling back out of the dumper for one final fling
The first of three UK top 40 hits for Babylon Zoo, "Spaceman" was their only number one and stayed there for five weeks in January/February 1996. “Spaceman” shifted 418,000 copies in the first week, and was the third biggest-selling single of the year. #TOTP
Apart from Pops and Auntie's Bloomers, I watched none of this and watched the newly acquired Men Behaving Badly VHS instead
