Proud to have worked alongside Ian at #Ceefax back in the day. A nice trip down memory lane to read his memories. Was even prouder when #afcb midfielder Brian Stock discovered he'd been called up for Wales U21s by reading a page I had personally written!

Some more memories of #Ceefax from my former BBC South colleague Felicity Cowie. We were both among the first there to be trained when the Ceefax regional news and sports service were rolled out in the late 1990s. canvas-story.bbcrewind.co.uk/memories-of-ce…

Is 2024 Pakistan cricket's worst year in history, as Aatif Nawaz of Test Match Special suggests? 2010 was pretty grim for them all round (spot-fixing, death threats, multiple captaincy changes, ball-biting and life bans), as I wrote at the time: news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cric…

John Rudge (Port Vale) joins John King (Tranmere) and George Best (Man Utd) as, by my reckoning, the only #afcb players* to have statues of them. *unless you count wartime guest players Matt Busby (Man Utd) and Sam Bartram (Charlton)

Have joined the Bluesky exodus myself, for what it's worth. Same handle. Hopefully more fun, fewer trolls and less political bile.

We were the only News crew allowed on set during the making of the Gavin & Stacey finale. We spoke to the whole cast and watched the filming of a party scene in Pam and Mick’s house. Here is the half hour doc we made. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

The ICC's official website describing Gary Ballance* as an "all-rounder" is possibly the kindest euphemism since I bowled an over at Robin Smith in the nets at a school fete, and he said my bowling was "very promising". *Ballance has zero first-class, List A or T20 wickets

After several years of being determined statistically which was the most improbable comeback, this award is now done by a fan vote. So basically: which team of the five nominees has the biggest social media reach, even if their comeback wasn't the most improbable, statistically?

And so it (predictably) came to pass. BREAKING: Winning 2-1 after being 1-0 down in 87th minute is now MORE improbable than winning 3-2 after being 2-0 down in 87th minute, according to the PL.
