(I know that's not him in the picture, but there doesn't seem to be any such thing as a public domain picture of the fox himself!)

Topical Tens

Casting Basil Brush as SUTEKH was a brilliant move. The way he cradles the TARDIS with his left arm and cape!

Had one of those weird memories pop up out of nowhere and puzzling question and answer session with my wife that eventually led me to the internet.

"Dirty Gertie from number 30," I said. "Where do I know that from?"

"The Two Ronnies?"

"No. It's not that."

"Dick Emery? Les Dawson? Feels slightly adult."

"No. Damn."

Etc.

Anyway, it turns out it's Basil Brush that we vaguely remembered it from. I like the programme description of it on TV Cream.

UPPER CLASS FOX with a human voice insults well-known BBC face...

A #cat intermission!

Meet Bruschetta - she's not my cat & she's not called Bruschetta, but spends most days in my #garden.

We have a 'difficult' relationship - I love her dearly & she eyes me with, at best, suspicion & at worst, disdain!! 🤣

Yesterday, when I was on a call, I could see an upright furry tail - just a tail - making its way towards me, #BasilBrush like, through the jasmine on top of the garden fence.

She emerged 20 minutes later, looking a little ruffled!!

Honestly #cats 🤣
