Food for thought:

#TomScott — London–based
#MattGray — London–based
#MattParker — Surrey–based
#ChrisSpargo — London–based
#JagoHazzard — London–based
#BenSaunders — London–based

I'm pretty sure that #RuthAisling is based somewhere in Scotland, but apart from that there's a dearth of larger YouTubers that I've encountered based in the likes of Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff, and so on.

There's #KariLawler in Wolverhampton and that bloke that rides the West Midlands Railway, and that's it. The Isle of Man has #BigClive. Whereas Leicester, Coventry, Walsall, Lichfield, Solihull, Manchester, Leeds, Northampton, and so on have no big YouTubers at all, from what I've seen.

James Strong, Gwyneth Hughes – „Unschuldig – Mr. Bates gegen die Post“ (Serie, 2024)

Kaum war dieser Dreiteiler Anfang 2024 in Großbritannien ausgestrahlt, ging ein politisches Erdbeben los. Diese Miniserie von James Strong und Gwyneth Hughes hat nicht nur ihr Fernsehpublikum bewegt, sondern auch eine längst überfällige Debatte wieder angeheizt und zu politischen Konsequenzen geführt. Wann hat Fernsehen das eigentlich zuletzt „bei uns“ vermocht? (ARTE, Wh.)

This was fun to watch, though I'd never drive in London by choice.

@nifta I don't think many people can understand what that tune means to some of us. I can pretty much imagine it in my head almost with amazing detail. At the time, I couldn't imagine how so many voices could be playing at the same time. The cadence and rhythm is unlike anything else MG made up until then. Not just slides and sweeps, but also the oscillations and beat. I listened to it far more than I played the game. I continued to listen to the sid over the years and eventually many of the remixes. The second time my mind was blown was when I heard Parallax for Piano. Somebody did a piano score for one person and recorded a version. It's flawed and misses the odd note, but the skill of the player is unmatched. I know nothing of the actual difficulty of the piece, but I imagine it's a nightmare. Look up the Matt Gray Reformation CD's for some great MG and RH Remakes. Quite a few others too. #MattGray
People have been keeping those tunes alive. RH definitely is still involved. Would be really amazing if MG got involved, but I think that's too far in the past for him. He's a legend for many though, whether he cares or not.
