Here is this Friday’s schedule. Danger Man said in chat earlier that Ripping Yarns deserves a showing in light of the death of Terry Jones – I have thought of showing it before; I’ve only seen a few of them and always wanted to get round to the whole thing, and this seems like a fitting time to start it. This week’s episode of Electric Dreams features Tim Spall, and the film will be Screamers (1995), which was suggested by Sploff.

Okay, this is going down today… I might be a bit late starting the music show because I’m really fucking unwell; I’ve been beset by the dreaded lurgi and it’s a big ask just to drag my sorry carcass out of bed. Hoping to get it running soon; I’ll update the thread with a link once I’m up and running.
