If you're a TV archive producer looking for footage, remember us - we have lots of bits of news, adverts, continuity etc. that you won't find on Getty because the broadcasters didn't keep it.

Today marks two years since we lost Steve Wright, sigh. I've thrown this together - it isn't a 'best of' compilation, this is how Steve sounded every afternoon on Radio 1 in '89/'90. Spend 15 mins with the true master of fun, exciting radio. soundcloud.com/user-22311567…

Two great things happened on Christmas Eve. First, every client at the Pods (self contained modular homes) received a wrapped Christmas gift, thanks to the generosity of shoppers in Primark, Reading. Support staff are on site 24/7 so gave them to clients on Christmas Day. 🌲
In 2026 we will continue to create lasting change for people who find themselves homeless in Reading. We will invest in properties, securing safe and stable homes for those who need them the most. Our homes are the foundation for recovery, independence and hope.
Festive music and memories with Barry, Ledge and Alan, with Spot the Intro, Triple-plays from Ledge and Alan, a trio of requests from Keith Parker, an Album Track, a TV Theme and more Kindness Stories with Sarah. mixcloud.com/210thamesvalley…
