US TV icons. #6 Lt Frank Columbo (Peter Falk). Columbo. “Just one more thing…” #tvicon #tvicons #columbo #GOAT #tvdetective “Well, my wife, she says I’m second-best, but, uh... She claims there are 80 fellas tied for first.”
Released this day in 1973, The Who's Quadrophenia, their 2nd full-length rock opera. Who's Next was their greatest album but Love, Reign O'er Me made the hairs stand on the back of your neck #thewho #quadrophenia

On 22nd Oct 1976, I bought New Rose by The Damned. It was the first punk single, it was on Stiff Records & it blew my mind. I still have it 50 years on & it still does. If there's any music this ferocious & exciting around now, I’d love to hear about it. #punkrock #thedamned
I read a few good books on holiday but this was by far the best. The 4th in David McCloskey’s CIA saga is my spy novel of the year. Artemis Procter is crying out for her own TV/streaming series (ditto Steve Cavanagh’s Eddie Flynn) @mccloskeybooks #spy #novel #fiction
Good to see Bad Manners are playing over Christmas after the year of hell Doug has had. Carry on mate, and lip up fatty. @BadMannersTour #badmanners #ska #skanb
US TV icons. #4 Samantha Stephens (Elizabeth Montgomery). Bewitched. “I’m a witch! I am a witch. A real broom-riding, house-haunting, cauldron-stirring witch.” #tvicon #sitcom #bewitched She put a spell on a generation.
Happy 73rd birthday to the glorious Pauline Black of The Selecter, the undisputed Queen of 2-tone and still the smartest & feistiest rude girl in town @TheSelecter #happybirthday #paulineblack
US TV icons. #3 Captain James Tiberius Kirk (William Shatner). Star Trek. “Risk! Risk is our business. That’s what this starship is all about.” #tvicon #scifi #startrek #williamshatner #captainkirk “Scotty, beam me up.”
