Thanks to always excellent Miranda Sawyer for supporting independently written/produced #JohnDredgeNothingToDoWithAnythingShow which I’m lucky enough to be in. “Chris Morris meets Milton Jones”Props too to John Dredge and producer #RichardCray BISCUITS! comedy.co.uk/podcasts/john_…

My mum’s book group read Michael Mosley’s Just One Thing recently and one of them produced this summary of his brilliant, sensible, achievable advice (that we could all benefit from following!) #MichaelMosley #RIPMichaelMosley

One of the greatest gifts Michael Mosley had was to inspire so many into healthy, fun lives without it ever seeming a chore, merely an 'oh yes that sounds great!' What a legacy of goodness he leaves. This recent #JustOneThing I love. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… #VolunteersWeek2024

Your cast shot for today's episode of Fags, Mags & Bags TODAY 2.15pm BBC Radio 4! Ep2 "Grumpy-Pumpy Doo-Dah McGraw" is one of my S11 faves great writing from Don & Sanj & top performances from the team, and my son Lucas came in that day & met the FMB gang which was very cool! ❤️

A little bewildered, but a lot honoured, to be delivering the McTaggart this year. Drama, storytelling, culture and class.

This (via bertanlicious) really makes me chuckle

Mighty thanks to The Week too for championing offbeat sketch comedy. (And indeed Patricia Nicol in The Sunday Times.) This week’s episode features the world’s worst actor ‘The Actor Greg Haiste’ attempting, and failing, to tell a knock knock joke. comedy.co.uk/podcasts/john_…

Will so miss the always brilliant #InsideNo9. @reeceshearsmith, Steve Pemberton and Adam Tandy leave on a high with an episode directed beautifully by George Kane. Here’s to more TV being so clever, funny, fearless, ambitious and delightful. #InsideNumber9

Splendid deadpan from the caption editor on this photo 😁

An anecdote of an interaction with a patient that has stayed with me for 15 years. When I was a fresh-faced 2nd year doctor in a GP practice, a young lady came for an appointment. She couldn’t have been more than 5 years older than me. The reason was ‘work stress’ A long 🧵

The brilliant #EvaMarieSaint turns 100 this week - she’s so great in #NorthByNorthWest - and also in #OnTheWaterfront, which is on BBC2 and iPlayer as I type, and timelessly watchable. Gosh, she must have some tales of #ClassicHollywood. Happy birthday :-)

Greg Haiste Found a pic!!!

Yusss! If only all jobs were as much fun as getting to play Archbishop Thin Kenny in the brilliantly original Fags, Mags & Bags - tune in today 2.15pm on BBC Radio 4 or BBC Sounds #TopTenlongestrunningaudiositcomsofalltime It is the delights!

and me

Random memory of when I was doing a food tour in Paris and the guide was waxing lyrical about French butter to the point where he went round everybody on the tour "Where are you from? US? Your butter is terrible? Netherlands? Not as good as French butter." and so on (1/2)

This is what I've been yelling at anyone who will listen to me for the past... two years maybe? Very grateful we are making Murder for Dummies all by ourselvesies Casual Violence

A thrill to voice the dashing, charming, eccentric #Harold in the excellent #Arknights. A doffed hat to the fab @damngoodvoices and all the Arknights gang. Here’s Harold: youtu.be/CrbWGwvyi68 Humblest of bows for the praise too, you lovely sorts ;-) #voiceover #gaming

Apart from having a massively successful career, with hits such as Midnight Train to Georgia, I hadn’t realised that Gladys Knight is also a character in The Merchant of Venice.
