I can taste the air

Matt said if your alarm goes at around 6am and England were still batting, it would be very good news. Well they weren’t and it’s not. So that was that.

So instead I had that classic early morning here with grapefruit juice, coffee and the new League of Gentlemen series (volume down, a little racy for these gentle hours). It’s been 20 years since Mark Gatiss, Reece Shearsmith, Jeremy Dyson and Steve Pemberton launched Royston Vasey on an unsuspecting UK audience. So to mark the anniversary, there’s a new 3 part series on the way. It’s amazing that Mark Gatiss has the time to be on the show today as he must be one of the most in-demand actors and writers around. He’s just finished ‘The Madness of George lll’ in Nottingham and he stars in the new Dr Who Christmas special (that one, with Jodie Whittaker) as a WW1 army captain. So, time for a SMALL TOWN playlist, LOCAL songs for local people
