So. #PendasFen - part of the BBC #PlayForToday. There's a game we like to play in Britain when something's as openly queer as this: we pretend it's incomprehensible. Even Alan Clarke - the director - has said he doesn't understand it all, on which I immediately call BS.

production of Brecht did recently at the RSC. This event wouldn't have happened without the impetus and organisation provided by Sam George & Graham Saunders, who deserve great credit. (6) #RoyalShakespeareCompany #RSC #RSCSummerSchool #PlayForToday #DavidEdgar

The TalkingPicturesTV channel is showing The Flipside of Dominick Hide! Probably first time on TV in a decade plus. Still one of the greatest bits of TV SF ever! Must get my fan site for it back up and running. #sciencefiction #playfortoday #tvsf

Watching today’s #PlayForToday, about a struggling school and an Ofsted inspection. It’s quite a difficult watch.

We missed the first #PlayForToday (it failed to record), but are watching “Big Winners” with Sue Johnston and Paul Copley. It is excellent.
