Neunundneunzig Luftballons

I will say that the weekend got off to a rather mixed start. On the bright side, I ended up not having to go to NC for 24 hours after all. Which was nice! On the other, I got about three hours sleep on Friday night and had to deal with a cat going to the toilet on the carpet at 1am. Less fun.

But.

I may have found a source for a copy of Emergency Ward 9, the last Dennis Potter play I don’t have (okay, the last one I don’t have that wasn’t wiped. I’m not magic).

Meanwhile, in other BBC Archive news…it was finally the week that we got to see this majestic bit of Top of The Pops footage:

And is if the heavens have opened, the BBC are finally going to be showing The Story of 1991/2 in the next fortnight. It’s like Jimmy broke the seal.

Somehow, it’s March?
