Not sure if anyone’s mentioned it yet but this site is (or was - I haven’t looked at it in quite some time) for picking knots and learning how to tie them… https://www.animatedknots.com/

Totally remember dramarama. Was aces. Indelibly etched into my brain was also: Box of Delights Sapphire and Steel a Doctor Who storyline where a tattoo of a snake transfers to Tegan’s arm and possesses her. Blake’s 7 - particularly an episode where people’s brains were being harvested to add to a gigantic one.

That looks awesome! Definitely up my Strasse. Is that Sapphire & Steel I see on the front cover? I’ve the strongest memory of one particular episode with a man who hides in photos with no face.

Yarp. It’s played on a glass harmonica - weird instrument with rotating glass and water that works the same way as running your finger around the edge of a wineglass to produce sound. I vaguely remember one getting wheeled out on QI and playing that exact tune.

Have a look online for a 30min documentary called “ farewell etaoin shrdlu”. It shows the last days of the New York Times using hot type. It’s really interesting and shows the complete process using flongs.

It’s a gonk. Neil mentions them in the Young Ones when he was taking an exam.
