Well I've not been on here in a long while...

But now I'm back... to tell everyone that they have to do something. And that thing is...

...go and see Bleak Expectations at The Watermill Theatre. watermill.org.uk/bleak_expectat…

I'll even add a please to that. Because otherwise it might seem rude. Please go and see Bleak Expectations at The Watermill Theatre!

It's a lovely lot of fun with a smashing cast in a splendid setting. Promise!

Feeling a bit social media panicky now... so off I go again. But I shall return soon...

Last episode of The Bleak Old Shop Of Stuff tonight, Mon, 8.30pm BBC2. Watch it. Watch it, I command you. But you don't have to...

Although actually you do have to watch it.

After Bleak Old Shop why not switch over to Dave at 9pm for Alexander Armstrong's Big Ask. Funny show...

Hello Twitter my old acquaintance I am occasionally ambivalent about, I've come to talk with you again...

Recorded last episodes of 5th series of Bleak Expectations last night and it will all start going out on the Radio 4 on November 20th

Oh, and on Bleak Expectations related matters, I also seem to have written this, apparently: tinyurl.com/d6xl33v

Please listen to one and buy the other. But, you know, no pressure. Or compulsoriness. That is all. For the moment. Thank you so much.

Woke up to find England had bowled Virender Sehwag back into form...

Oh, and that the Bleak Expectations book is out: tinyurl.com/c2zd4o4

Hello twitter... Just to say that series 5 of Bleak Expectations starts today, 6.30pm, Radio 4.

It's another Bleak Tuesday. By which I mean episode two of the new series of Bleak Expectations is on Radio 4 at 6.30 tonight...

But if you can't wait for this evening, why not dash out and buy a copy of this? tinyurl.com/d42ryth

That was a shameless plug for both book and radio series. Shamelessly self-promoting for different media.
