Merry Christmas to you all

It’s the final countdown! Here’s a music video featuring me running through the decades until the year 2000 and then stopping youtu.be/ZPxglsvehsE?si… #HNY2024

I cooked my first Burns night dinner. I had no idea a haggis took so long to cook! The Islay whisky sauce was a winner though. Delicious. #BurnsNight

It’s the end of an era as BBC Doctors wrap on their final day of filming. I’ve been fortunate to have been included in this show over the years and it is close to a family in front of and behind the scenes. A truly collaborative bit of telly. It will be sadly missed #BBCDoctors

I was fortunate to be a part of this. Fantastic news that Andrew has been nominated for a BAFTA. Perhaps there could be a series…

Quite right. I was fortunate to have been a member of the Television Workshop in the 80s. A chance for working class youngsters to get a taste of the arts, without fee or favour. BBC Doctors was a show that held a door open for all.

Phew! Looks like I picked the wrong day to stand around a burning brazier singing acapella like Troop did in the 90s film “New Jack City” #heatwave

Billy and Louie are going to be singing “Gertcha!” by Chas ‘n’ Dave #thevoiceuk

To celebrate international day of disabled people, BFI player is streaming a lovely film that I had a small part in for free! player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watc…

Informative thread

Is it any surprise that a paranoid conspiracy theorist like Trump falls for Putin propaganda?

The pet abduction bill, brought in last year, described pets as “…cats and dogs are not inanimate objects but sentient beings capable of experiencing distress and other emotional trauma” surely this must extend to physical attack

Phew! Looks like I picked the wrong day to start my Stop Me and Buy one, wood burning, self peddled boiled onion cart business #heatwave

Oasis were amazing tonight. Especially their cover of “Gertcha” by Chas ‘n’ Dave.

Phew! Looks like I picked the wrong day to walk the entirety of the M25 dressed as Rumpole of the Bailey and drinking nothing but Bovril #heatwave

Phew! Looks like I picked the wrong day to attempt to break the mulligatawny soup drinking record. #Heatwave

Christmas day may be over, but you can still enjoy a classic Christmas special episode of 4 O’Clock Club with special guest Bill Bailey on iplayer bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
