Really enjoyed helping the BBC documentary team with this, a great reconstruction of one of the most interesting and unsual drug trafficking investigations of its time. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

Why did I write @Celtic_Musical - if I had to choose one reason, it'd be this - Hillsborough Memorial Match. Celtic Park. April 1989. Liverpool's 1st game after the disaster when Celtic FC held out the hand of friendship and the people of Glasgow were brilliant. #CelticFC #YNWA

I think of my Vikki, one of the founder members of @WomeninFootball, many times a day. Today, many more times. And I recall one of her favourite quotes, by Eleanor Roosevelt: "A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until you put her in hot water." #Lionesses

A new three-part documentary series starts tonight on BBC Alba about Operation Klondyke, the story of what was at the time (early 1990s) the biggest cocaine bust in British history. It will also be on iPlayer, hopefully with subtitles for us monolinguists. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Nice to read these accounts of a new TV series featuring the Forty Elephants gang. Would be even nicer if Steven Knight and his team acknowledged their debt to author Brian McDonald, whose book "Alice Diamond and the Forty Elephants" tells the real story. deadline.com/2025/02/steven…
