In memory of Bill Oddie, going to dig out my Goodies books this evening. Re-bought them a few years ago, replacing the ones lost from childhood. Really disappointed the copy of ‘The Goodies Disaster Movie’ was missing the 'Location Map’ pages. Still, here’s the best gag in the book IMO.

Jodrell Bank's Lovell telescope faces axe in science cuts, BBC understandsAstronomers warn it would tear the heart out of UK science, and leave a generation untrained.www.bbc.co.ukAstronomer Royal for Scotland | Catherine Heymans“What will the Lovell Telescope discover/enable 20 yrs from now?

Goodnight from Liz Cudden, asking at the off licence if there’s a particular brand of apple brandy known to appease Wood Sprites. Goodnight from Billy Barden, sleeping rough in a Type 22 pillbox, his dreams filled with battles never fought, ghosts from what-if worlds. Goodnight from Hookland.
