Terry Venables co-wrote one of the top 200 books in the BBCâs Big Read 20 years ago
https://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/bigread/top200_2.shtml
- The Witches, Roald Dahl
- Charlotteâs Web, E. B. White
- Frankenstein, Mary Shelley
- They Used To Play On Grass, Terry Venables and Gordon Williams
- The Old Man And The Sea, Ernest Hemingway
- The Name Of The Rose, Umberto Eco
It looks like it is a genuine place too, not an ironic meme vote. The BBC curated the list to avoid that possibility.
He also co-wrote the Hazell books, which was adapted for television

OMG - I had completely forgotten Hazell! It wasnât brilliant, but it wasnât bad. Typical ITV 9pm fodder for that period.

Yeah, all she did with her time in the white house was promote her husbandâs shitty policies and find ways to grift off of it⌠Sheâll certainly go down as one of the least consequential first ladies in our history.

If anyone is interested, theyâre live streaming Rosalynn Carterâs memorial service on the Emory campusâŚ

Iâve been watching the service, surprise, suprise, Melania is there sitting next to Michelle Obama.
And, am I the only nervous about Biden and Harris being in a very public well publicized event while Johnson is back in Washington.
I mean I trust the Secret Service to protect everyone but now is not the time to chance it.
But it is a beautiful service.
