It was hardly Keith's fault; she was a magnificent presence in everything. My favourite was her BBC Radio Agatha Raisin.

When I was in 1st year at school, the library awarded you something if you read 10 books from ten different genres. I was doing fine until I picked up Jane's Zoo 2000 anthology for the SF genre. I'd never read SF before and it blew my mind.11 Jun 2026 20:15 +0000at://did:plc:jsugfdcb4b45e4e472uedpdm/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo2245mdbs2phttps://bsky.app/profile/theejimsteel.bsky.social/post/3mnyyhvh7nk2jDay One of the World Cup.
