Not all people caught out in the crowd are the same.

Pleased to give a Zoom talk on Waterloo Uncovered to archaeology colleagues and students at National Uni of Kyiv Moyhla Academy this afternoon. Scottish Centre - War Studies/Conflict Archaeology

Anyone listening to #Screenshot on BBC Radio 4 just now who hasn’t seen Sorcerer, there’s a high quality transfer youtu.be/3pP6HPfc0Ww?si…. I think Wages of Fear is one of best films ever made but with Mark Kermode here. This is superb. Friedkin, Scheider & Tangerine Dream!

Ralph had fun being a dune dog today.

Ugh. He’s now in Scotland. In Highlander they might have called it a Quickening. I for one would prefer a Quickliming.

Oh help me someone. Help me please!

The “Soul Man” performance by The Blues Brothers on Saturday Night Live is a legendary moment in music and comedy history.

Reminded by a repost of this exciting day a good few years ago now.

Another part of the soundtrack of my childhood gone. I call our street Festive road when at appears lively and populated with characters.

Tune in to BBC One on Friday as we mark 80 years since victory over Japan, the moment the Second World War finally came to an end. We are honoured to host the national commemoration at the National Memorial Arboretum, and will be joined by veterans who served in the Far East. #VJDay80 1/2

A fitting volume as l set about re-homing my After The Battle magazine collection in the study. #VJDay

OTD 1819 Peterloo Massacre. 18 killed & hundreds wounded when pro-democracy meeting charged by Cheshire yeomanry, Manchester & Salford Yeomanry & 15th Hussars with 31st & 88th Regts & artillery also deployed. 15th fought at Waterloo & a Waterloo veteran among marchers killed.

Planning itinerary for return to Dien Bien Phu. Dry-run at being a battlefield guide there this time. That's French commander de Castries surrendering to Giap's Viet Minh forces on 7 May 1954 as depicted on stunning panorama in museum where last year I met a VM artillery veteran.

it insists upon itself .

That handsome devil Terence Stamp has left us. So much great work but l guess always remembered as Sergeant Troy. Priscilla though was a stunning late career performance. I was once seated at the table next to his in a London restaurant & could barely eat because as so excited.

Zelensky and his European posse in DC tomorrow has makings of a good rumble.

Just watched first episode of Alien Earth (I’ve been waiting for them to get here since 1979) and it struck me how influential a certain scene from Wrath of Khan has been over the years.

Remember when TV showed a movie as tribute to deceased actor? Feeling need for Terence Stamp. Audit of house DVDs: Priscilla, Limey, Madding Crowd, Conspiracy of Wolves & Valkyrie. Think I’d go for The Collector though. Would invite you round but they might not be your choice.

Murdered by Russians yesterday in Kharkiv, an entire family. Grandmother, both parents, 15-year-old boy, 1.5 year old baby girl.
