The first five-star play I've seen in quite a while. Ilford Boy is raw, raucous and terrific entertainment. @DonmarWarehouse thetimes.com/article/067e742…

This clock stopped ticking at 09.13 on October 21st 1966 when a collapsing coal tip sent thousands of tonnes of slurry down the mountainside, killing 116 children and 28 adults. Always remembered. Never forgotten. Especially today #Aberfan60 #Aberfan #NeverForget 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Did you miss the first Semi-Final of Brain of Britain at 4.30 this afternoon on @BBCRadio4? I had to unfortunately, but don't worry, it's repeated on Saturday 24th Oct. at 11.30pm. The nation's mug of intellectual cocoa! Cheers!

Just finished this on Sunday. It is exquisite. I cannot recall being more profoundly moved by a book for decades...
Almost no plot. Almost nothing to it at all. A love scene that never happens. No resolution because there is nothing really to resolve. Memory, loss, healing. Real joy, but fleeting. A painting uncovered as lots of other lovely things fade away. One of best books I’ve read for ages.

For those like me who are tired of the television advertisement which stole Roger Whittaker I give you the whole thing from the superb Roger himself - yes I have nicked this off YouTube but yes he's magnificent
