In Amandaland (series 2 even funnier than the first), #LucyPunch has created one of TV’s great tragi-comic grotesques, with flawless timing and every word a gem. It was a delight to chat to her.
Well this was rather lovely!!
Thank you @frostreporter@radiotimes for the piece, the recognition and the parallel’s to Herman #guesswho?
What’s even lovelier is that I have had the pleasure of working with (and in some instance proud to call some of them my proper buddies) with each and every one of these terrific actors (bar two). And I’m happy to report that not only are they amazing artists in their own right, they are also truly great human beings too!

10 years ago today, and it’s like chatting with Nana. “Technology!” What a sweet simpleton that writer was… hope the ensuing decade didn’t ruin her world of wonder.
Only when we sat down in our seats did we realise that neither of us had ever seen one episode of @peakyblinders - turned out it didn’t matter. #PeakyBlindersfilm was an escapist joy from start to finish. Barry Keoghan for Bond!
Salisbury Cathedral was host to Sandford St Martin seminar ‘Chasing Truth: Fact, Fiction and the Media’ given by Anna McNamee. Stunning venue, fascinating talk both disturbing and inspiring!
I couldn’t resist. At Birmingham Rep for this nostalgia fest. The story of the 1995 Britpop battle for number one brought to stage.
As well as all the protagonists’ tunes, the interval music (Pulp, Franz Ferdinand) is like being hoovered backwards into the time vortex… #oasis #blur #britpop
Delighted with this week's RT cover - my interviews with Brian May and Roger Taylor remembering how apprehensive they were about #Queen doing Live Aid - they nearly didn't do it! - and then they went on to steal the show. You can read the feature on the RT website along with some great unseen pics taken on the day by David Bailey... a great wallow down musical memory lane!
