Filming this scene in MONTY PYTHON'S LIFE OF BRIAN, the actors playing the Roman soldiers weren't told what Michael Palin was going to say or do, they were just told they weren't to laugh. teapawt.org/HistoricHub/status/191…

An acoustic performance of "A Pair Of Brown Eyes" by Christy Moore and Shane MacGowan. Two of our finest songwriters. 🇮🇪 When you really take the time to listen, you slowly begin to realize those lyrics are pure magic.

@BBCRadio2 @timminchin your gig in Manchester in 2021 was soon after my wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer. It was a welcome break from the world we were living in! Always remember that evening with a lot of love! Also when we took our 4 kids to Matilda! Hope to see you soon

5. A Pair of Brown Eyes A lament for lost love, as two strangers bond over jukebox corn and barroom tales of regret. Drowning in misery, united in heartbreak, pining for one last glance. The soaring sound of ruined lives; yet amidst the torment lies a perverse form of solace.

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange A walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl, year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here #PinkFloyd

Listen to the Finnish president—this is what a real leader sounds like, unlike the nonsense Trump says.

TRAINSPOTTING was released 29 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great British movies and a generation-defining piece of pop culture, the behind the scenes story is as lacking in moral fibre as you’d probably expect… 1/44

Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber who died this day in 1981 (aged 70). Remembering today one of the greatest American composers on the anniversary of his death. His music feels so fitting for this week 🇺🇸

The Blues Brothers (1980) - MEGA THREAD The adventures of 'Joliet' Jake and Elwood Blues are legendary, on and off screen. So, put your sunglasses on and let's celebrate this 80s comedy classic with 16 of my favourite moments. Ray Charles wants you to Shake a Tailfeather. 1/16

The Morecambe and Wise Christmas shows were a must watch, in 1977 around 28 million people tuned in, roughly half the population of the Uk at that time. In 1971 they performed possibly their finest sketch, Grieg's Piano Concerto with Andre Preview... Privet... Previn!
