40 years of Channel 4. You can only imagine how many complaints we’ve had in that time.

40 years ago David Dundas took 4 notes (A,G,C & A) and used them to create one of the greatest ever TV channel signature tunes and idents. To mark 40 years of Channel 4, I try to play a little bit of “Fourscore.” Happy Birthday #Channel4! Channel 4

Whenever people ask me, as Raj Giri did today, “what was your favorite era of wrestling?” I always reference 1989. That’s the year I was introduced to Terry Funk. I can’t imagine there’s a Hall of Fame where he doesn’t belong, or a “Mount Rushmore” for that matter. RIP to a 🐐

One of the Greatest TV Performances of All Time. Michael Gambon: The Singing Detective. Many more great turns of course, but this is the one for me. Sardonic, pitiable, mean, self-loathing, sentimental, caustic, vulnerable, wise, kind, spiteful…all of those & more at once. RIP.

#OnThisDay in 1989: WCW Clash of the Champions IX: Ric Flair defeated Terry Funk to retain the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title in a "I Quit" match. The bout was rated five stars (*****) by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, but only finished fourth in the Match of the Year category.
