Chrissy Rouse, 26 year old bike racer in his first year of BSB, following being hit by another rider after crashing at the weekend. Alongside his racing career, he managed to qualify as a maths teacher and hosted the superb "chasin the racin" podcast with his best mate. He was very articulate and I wouldn't have been surprised to see him as a commentator in later life. RIP.😢

I hadn't realised that Mavis Nicholson died last month. In many peoples' view the greatest ever interviewer on British TV. In acknowledgement of her passing, BBC has replayed a 2016 documentary that was shown this week on BBC Wales. It's available on the iPlayer, called Being Mavis Nicholson and shows sections of interviews with big stars who revealed more than they ever had before. Produced by Caroline Hitt, it's really really good. Mind you, I would say that because she always reminded me of my Mam.

Yes, I cried.

"I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel"

My very first memory of going to the cinema was Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
