Time off not Christmassy
What’s Goin’ On? (What happened) -
Work is on Christmas hours, as the office are closed until January 2nd, so the hours of mobile are all over the place.
I’d started my Monday night shift at five in the evening, and finished at five in the morning. I got home on Tuesday morning for around 6 in the morning, when I was in bed for seven and awake at about half past eleven.
Mid afternoon saw me and Louise going to my mum’s old flat to do some clearing up of her bits. We were there for about seven hours and barely touched the surface seemingly. Louise was feeling sick as well, but we had to soldier on.
We got back in for about eleven o’clock in the night, when I finally got something to eat, having not had anything since breakfast at half past eleven that morning.
At half past midnight myself, Ed and Kit recording for the February episodes of Toppermost of the Poppermost, until 3:30 in the morning, leaving us to record some more on Wednesday afternoon my time. Wednesday afternoon also saw me and Ed carrying on then with recording a couple of episodes of When They Was Fab, before I went back to my mum’s old flat to finish off.

| While recording with Ed and Kit we mentioned Louis Armstrong, which made me think of the great friendship he had with Miles Davis. |
Did I get everything of my mum’s? No, because I literally got fed up and also started worrying about being evicted for having all of mum’s things cluttering up our house.
Could that happen? Yes, because that’s the real reason why we had to move at the end of 2021. We were thrown out of the flat/apartment in Newark because they told us that we were causing damp issues with all of the stuff that we had.
I postponed an episode recording for Pods Like Us that had been arranged for a while, because I was just too tired at midnight to do it. Now I’m pissed off because that’s screwed the scheduling up. I now have to wait until February to chat with that guest.
If any of my three other brothers had done anything then that would have been great, but they didn’t. Way to f***ing go, fam!
One nice thing was DJ Skoob from Undiscovered Entrepreneur editing episode one of Pods Like Us season eight, my chat with Nicholas Tecosky. That’s a bloody great episode if I do say so myself. His tips and anecdotes are fantastic for anyone!

StarDate - (0:02) 26 December 2023: *Radium - In the early 20th century, radium was all the rage. It was used in paints that made the faces of clocks and watches glow in the dark. / It was the key element in early medical radiation treatments. It was infused into water and chocolates, and was a big selling point for spas whose waters had a lot of the element. Alas, all of those were bad ideas. / Radium is highly radioactive, and most likely was responsible for the deaths of thousands. / Radium came to the world's attention 125 years ago today.

British Sitcom History - (0:47) 29 July 2021: *Only Fools and Horses: The Granddad Years part 1 - Here it is, the big one. Too big actually so we've had to break it up for parts. Here we tackle Only Fools and Horses - The Grandad Years, encompassing the first three series of John Sullivan's British institution. [Allan and Gareth start to look at this classic BBC sitcom about the Trotter family. Louise wanted to listen to this show, as she caught one of the presenters of the show on a tv show. “It didn’t start to find its feet until season three.” John Sullivan created Citizen Smith, starring Robert Lindsay, which lasted for three years. They tried a pilot about a football manager called Over The Moon starring Brian Wilde. That didn’t get further than the pilot. John Howard Davies approached John Sullivan, who was a contracted writer for the BBC, which is why JHD asked him to write something. The entire first season was written before casting. The flat reminds them of the Steptoe and Son home. The sets and outside broadcasts. The episode The Long Legs of the Law - Rodney’s thing for police women. They question the fact that the Trotters are criminals. Paying for breakfast and the cutlery. Rodney having a record for marijuana and granddad being a gun runner in the Spanish civil war. Charming the police. “Similar to Walker in Dad’s Army.” Deep dive on David Jason. Do Not Adjust Your Set with some people who would go on to be Pythons, written by Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Terry Jones, featuring the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band as the house band. Terry Gilliam did some animation for the show. David was a bit tetchy about not going over to Monty Python. Granville in Open All Hours, with the pilot being in 1973, season one in 1976, season two in 1981, and season three in 1985. Hark At Barker. He was originally going to be Corporal Jones, which ended up being Clive Dunn. He was almost cast in Some Mothers Do Have ‘Em. The Top Secret Life of Edgar Briggs. Lucky Fella. A Sharp Intake of Breath with Alun Armstrong and Richard Wilson portraying different characters each week around David’s character. In some episodes of Porridge as Blanco. No Sex Please We’re British. Berkeley Smalls.
