The only Hollywood sequel we really need to see is to Charlie and The Chocolate Factory 2. Charlie Bucket in his 50s, with undoubtedly the biggest midlife crisis after running a f*****g chocolate factory since he was 10

A box turned up today. I knew it was coming. Still wasn't ready for it. Three years of drafts, doubt, deleting whole chapters at 5am, and now it's a thing you can hold. To me, books are magical. UNSCRIPT. The radical act of being yourself. I'll tell you the truth. I sat on the couch and held it to my heart. That's where it came from. Out 29 July. Pre-order now Booktopia, use code BRIGHTSIDE20, get 20% off, and you go in the draw to come watch the show live and meet the team — my way of saying thank you to the people who got in early. AND! Pre-order forward your receipt to christian@christianoconnell.com.au and you also get invited a special live YouTube Show I’m doing just for you, At Home with Christian

What a trailblazing show this was. Before I started in radio, this was my schooling in how a master like Danny can really play with radios possibilities
All modern football shows can be put down to when I started 606 on the BBC in 1991. The first irreverent, irrelevant fan opinion space on national radio. We ignored the big headlines to swap stories. Until then fans, mad or ridiculous, had no authentic voice.

One of the greatest sitcoms ever Porridge. The first episode with Godbers first night, and episode 3 A Night In are peerless
Actor Peter Vaughan as ‘genial’ Harry Grout in a still from Porridge (the movie)

Have any adult men got posters on their bedroom walls?
Replying to @OC
I’m 60, I have one but wife says I can only put it up in garage. Not the same.

I've noticed a sad decline YOY of wig and toupee stories on my radio show. This is correlated to the advance in hair plugs & trips to Turkey to get a hair transplant This week I dedicate my wireless time to the heydays of wigs and toupees with an open house for stories about them

Very sad news about an incredible man. Living inspiration. This was a life of service. When we talk about it’s not about what happens to you in life, it’s what you make of what happens to you in life, Neale’s reaction to his diagnosis to choose selfless service is awe inspiring

TOP GUN IS 40 THIS WEEKEND! I remember in 1986 when it came out, queuing to try and get in. No pre-booking and selecting your seats! Pretending to be older than I was to see it The art of pretending to be older than you were! for booze and other forbidden pleasures

I'm biased as a Southampton fan but how could an intern not be seen 'hiding' in plain sight by this lone tree? If the team didn't see him, they don't deserve to be in the Premiership #spygate
