Happy Birthday Nicholas Andrew Argyll Campbell, better known as Nicky, born in Edinburgh, on April 10th 1961.

Best known for hosting Wheel of Fortune with fellow Scot Carol Smillie, but now the main show we might know him for is the very good Long Lost Family which aims to reunite close relatives after years of separation, often the people featured have been, like Nicky himself adopted, his "born" name was Nicholas Lackey he was adopted at four days old. His biological mother Stella was unmarried and had travelled from Ireland to give birth. Although she sent Christmas cards for the first five years of Nicky's life, they had no direct contact. It was not until he was in his 20's that Nicky decided to try and track down Stella and his biological father Joseph.

Although he discovered that his biological heritage was Irish, Nicky still thinks of himself as a Scot and it's his adoptive family, the Campbells, that he's closest to.

He was educated at the independent school Edinburgh Academy. His adoptive mother was a psychiatric social worker and his adoptive father a publisher of maps.

Nicky Campbell gained a history degree from Aberdeen University, and then became a jingle writer for Northsound Radio. At university, Campbell's best friend had been the actor Iain Glen.

Campbell went on to present the breakfast show there before crossing the border to join London's Capital Radio in 1986. Just a year later Nicky Campbell moved to Radio 1 where he had a variety of slots before moving to BBC Radio Five Live in October 1997. He regularly hosted Top of the Pops from 1988 to 1991 and again from 1994 to 1997.

He currently presents The Big Questions on BBC One and the aforementioned Long Lost Family, as well as his presenting he has written and co-produced a jazz swing album for singer and actor Mark Moraghan. As well as recording an album with the multi talented Kate Robbins. He is the director of a recording company who supply original music fro TV and films. On Radio Campbell has won seven Sony Awards, including a Gold Award in 2007 for the Radio 5 Live Breakfast programme as "Best News and Current Affairs Programme"

Nicky is a Patron of the British Association for Adoption and Fostering as well as he supports wildlife conservation and has works closely with Will Travers, Virginia McKenna and the Born Free Foundation.

In 2017 he made a documentary for the Women at War series for BBC1 with his adoptive mother Sheila Campbell.[18] He found out more about his her role in World War 2 and her experiences as a radar operator on D-Day.[Also that year he took part in All Star Musicals for ITV performing Razzle Dazzle from the musical Chicago live at the London Palladium.

In 2021 Campbell presented Manhunt; The Raul Moat Story on ITV1. This was the inside story of how Moat was tracked down, all in the glare of 24-hour rolling news. I n recent years Nicky has also been involved in a number of podcasts

Last year Police launch investigation after Campbell says he suffered abuse during his time at Edinburgh Academy in the 1970s. He made the claims during an episode of his BBC podcast Different, saying the experience had a "profound effect on my life".

The broadcaster said: "I was badly beaten up at school by a teacher who was a leading light in the scripture union.

"My mother took it as far as she could and got a grovelling apology from (the man involved), but was essentially stonewalled and it was hushed up by the school.

"Those were different times and that has stayed with me all my life."

The school said it "deeply" regrets the allegations and "wholeheartedly" apologised to those involved.

In a previously released statement, the school said: "We have worked closely with the relevant authorities including Police Scotland with their inquiries and would like to provide reassurance that things have dramatically changed since the 1970s.

"The Academy has robust measures in place to safeguard children at the school, with child protection training now core to the ethos of the Academy."

A New Radio 5 Live simulcast is due to start on Monday 17th April on the UK feed of BBC News and BBC Two. Nicky Campbell’s show will also be broadcast on BBC Two.

Judge Dredd (1995)

In today's review, I'm reacquainted with the crime-filed streets of Mega-City One. As I attempt a #positive review of the 1995 action blockbuster adaptation Judge Dredd #SylvesterStallone #ArmandAssante #RobSchneider #JürgenProchnow #MaxvonSydow

Despite how bleak the current affairs of humanity are, it is always fun to pontificate how worse those who come after us will have it. The same struggles we face now amplified by 100 combined with the worries the future can bring. One comic took a darkly humorous look at current society in a future setting and made a satirical critique that remembered to back up its unique world with great action…

Random take on TTTE series from models to CGI no one asked for:

Britt era (Season 1-4)

Pros: George and Ringo’s narrations, the characters sticking true to their personalities to the books, overall c o m f y feeling

Cons: Angelis’ narrations, I feel like he was still trying to figure out his pacing and how the characters’ personalities. The number of goofs and editing mistakes in some of the episodes were really bad, but seeing as this was in the 80s-90s its forgivable, and sometimes hilarious

(S)Hit era (Season 5-12)

Pros: THE MODELS NEVER LOOKED BETTER FIGHT ME, Alec Baldwin may have been bad in TATMR but god damn I loved him as a narrator. Angelis also made the later half bearable to watch, and I feel like he finally was comfortable as the narrator. Also kinda sad Pierce Brosnan didn’t stick around I loved The Great Discovery.

Cons: Too many “single appearance” characters that I genuinely liked and then never saw again. Ever. Lots of characters had completely different personalities, examples Edward and Skarloey. Most realism was thrown out the window. The stories were so boring and diluted that not even the baby audience they were writing for liked it. Also MICHAEL FUCKING BRANDON.

The Miller era (Season 13-16)

Pros: Only a few things I liked… Hiro, the return of the narrow gauge engines…

Cons: The color palette was so lifeless, there was no energy in the scenery or characters and every story was more bland than cardboard. The “three-strike” repetitive stories and the rhyming drove me fucking insane. Miller effectively drove the final nail in the coffin and branded T&F as a bAbY ShOw. I steered away from the show for a good amount of years and I really don’t think I missed out on much

The Brenner era (Season 17-21)

Pros: EVERYTHING. Beautiful colors and scenery, well written stories, characters having their proper personalities back. OLD CHARACTERS RETURNING! Brenner gave the fans, old and new, everything they could have asked for and we loved it! Mark Moraghan was a great replacement after Angelis passed away, r.i.p. king 😔

Cons: Mattel thought that a slight decrease in their profit margins meant it was time for a radical change for short term gains rather than keeping a dedicated fanbase to their show.

Honestly the show should have closed properly right then and there, people would have been satisfied.

The BWBA era (Season 22-24)

Pros…

Cons: The removal of Henry and Edward from the main cast and shoehorning in two bland and tasteless characters for the sake of gender diversity. We already had plenty of other female characters, why not give -them- the spotlight? The fucking bouncing of the engine’s chassis. I wanted Thomas and Friends not fucking Chuggington. Boring stories and unrealistic physics of the engines. And the dream sequences completely ruin the flow of some of the stories.

All Engines Go (Season 25-)

[jackbatchelor3]

It’s official; Confused Coaches is the 18th and final episode of Thomas & Friends Series 21.

It is also Mark Moraghan’s final series as narrator, as well as the first episode to take place on New Year’s Eve/New Year’s Day.

mattel: *replaces mark moraghan so thomas can do the narration because while the whole reading the storybook to the child thing was cute and was also Awdry and Britt’s vision it doesn’t matter anymore because the people who originally created this classic don’t have real opinions*

also mattel: *replaces edward and replaces henry who both appeared from the very beginning in the original railway series*

fanbase: and then there was trouble

bonus:

mattel: *barely includes percy anymore*

Just like with Journey Beyond Sodor, Thomas fans lost their minds when they heard that the show would be getting rebooted after Season 21. The reboot, under the name Big World, Big Advetures, would see Thomas the Tank Engine not only travel the world and see new countries and continents (for half the season, with the other half taking place on Sodor), but it would also speed up its pace (by changing each episode's running time from 9 minutes to 7), have Thomas be the narrator instead of Mark Moraghan, include fantasy sequences, and even revamp the Steam Team in the form of newcomers Nia and Rebecca, replacing Edward and Henry respectively.
