#TheWolvesAreRunning I’m on my second watch. It’s so weird watching something I remember so vividly from 40 years ago, whilst having no idea what it was about. #BoxOfDelights

Dear #BBCiPlayer. Feel free to remove the ‘Skip intro’ option on #TheBoxOfDelights. This is predominantly being watched by those who remember the series with fond 80s childhood nostalgia and there’s no way we’re skipping that iconic opening. #TheWolvesAreRunning

OK - *now* it’s allowed to be Christmas!

I hear there is a gollop of Scrobbkefesters gathering at Dudley. Quick go up there and get half a crown off each of them before they . You might ransack their luggage, while you're at it.

The wolves are running! 🐺

The Box of Delights....first broadcast on 21st November 1984, 40 years young today.
I was 14 and as a child, I absolutely loved it.
It was a full-on pre-Christmas treat and it still makes me tingle.

#30daybookchallenge Day Twenty Seven, a book I read every year. There is no such book but I often do re-read “The Box of Delights” by John Masefield at Christmas. I love the BBC adaptation too #TheWolvesAreRunning
