Said goodbye to my dear sister yesterday. A lovely Highland service on our home, the Isle of Skye that was full of tears and laughs. The way Katherine would have wanted it! Oh and a few glasses of wine!
Watching

is so frustrating. It’s like they don’t know their audience! Most of us want to see ALL the end titles! Please sort this!!! Or I’m back to the DVDs and cancelling!

Remembering Kirsty Maccoll, 20 years after she was so tragically taken from us. Masterful melodies, masterly crafted lyrics, a sense of humour all packaged in a beautiful voice. So much more than Fairytale of New York. Go listen!

Eh, no. As a gay man, EDI professional and Strictly fan it’s none of the above. Dances by contestants should excite me, because it’s a journey. I’m really impressed by Layton but not excited by him. That’s all.

I think it’s a disaster. Never seen to get a sense of size. In fact it often looks smaller on the inside with a huge dead space from the door to console. Companions all have to stand in a line like schoolchildren being given a row.

I teach Latin in a comprehensive school in Enfield. Our GCSE uptake has gone from 4 students to 36 in 5 years. I refuse to allow any part of academia to be denied any young person.

Ok so you just write something, you try your best and you don't really think anything will happen. Then, before you know it, there's a cast, musicians, director and everything. Excited and shitting myself in equal measure!
We have announced our wonderful cast on our Instagram story! Here they are in all their

The safety & safeguarding of children is the highest priority. I don’t know: 1. If I can protect ur child in a fight 2. If I can search a student for a knife 3. Break/ lunch will be impossible. Loads more. I don’t know & I’m an expert! These idiots are irresponsible/dangerous!

as long as Billy Connolly has breath in his lungs, could you never again refer to Michael McIntyre as the king of comedy?! (In fact, after Billy, the list is rather long!) 😳
Government says an official symptom of COVID-19 is a loss of taste. Yesterday I wore corduroy trousers with a denim jacket, that’s me self isolating for two weeks!
Ba-doom- TSH!!! 😂😂
Whoever is playing out this ‘back to school’ narrative, suggesting kids can be 2 metres apart & playgrounds closed needs to be laughed out of the room for having a ludicrous lack of understanding in the way a school functions.
We just don’t get it do we? Borders are bullshit. Walls are bullshit. Separatism is bullshit. Nationalism is generally bullshit. Be proud of your culture. But share the world. All of us, every single one.
It’s a shame that

has some of the best content of any streaming service yet obviously run by the clueless. Like giving a 5 year old an Aston Martin. It would be nice to see end credits of shows instead of having to reach for

interview Clive James on

is not only wonderful but life affirming. Dame Mary also cracks the best interview style in that it should be a ‘chat’. The way to get the best out of a subject. This is brilliant!

I went to the bar, bought her a couple of white wines, thanked her for her service! She was just adorable. God bless! ❤️

Amazing to see actors working on my words! Gutted I couldn’t be there but I’m sure the last thing they want is the writer hanging about putting his oar in where it’s not wanted! Ooh missus! 😜great work guys!! Thank you!
No rest for the wicked! Our cast and director of “I F****N LOVE YOU” got together last week for an initial read through together, and what a read-through it was! If you haven’t got your tickets, get them now! You don’t want to miss this!

Just so that we’re clear. If I see any racist shit on Twitter or elsewhere, I will: report it to the police; report it to the social media platform; find you on LinkedIn etc and send it to your employer. Capiche?

This is indeed sad, but we will rise again! Also as I am self-isolating atm I wouldn’t have seen my own play! So fear not, our return will be amazing and I will work tirelessly to make ‘I F****n Love You’ the best play it could possibly be!! ❤️
So sad to announce that yesterday we had no choice but to postpone the opening of Gay Generations

We had our last rehearsal (for now) today, which we recorded as a reminder of the fabulous hard work that all the actors, directors & writers have put in so far.❤️🌈
It’s a disgrace that the actor who was in the best Bond film isn’t verified. George was stylish, charismatic, funny and tough. If that’s not a verified, blue tick James Bond actor, I don’t know what is!!!??

So once again disappointment from a spineless government who didn’t have the guts to make the difficult- and obvious - decision from the start. Plans were made, hopes were built and all because poor little Boris wants to be liked.

So just to clarify.
And the rules are really clear on this.
As a teacher I can meet 5 friends outside or in a garden or two different households.
Or 26 fifteen year olds every day, five times a day from 136 different households.
Glad we’ve cleared that up!

There truly never has been anyone better. Do your prep, follow the conversation, know when to be quiet, and most importantly, don’t make it about yourself. He was the best. Thank you for a lifetime of entertainment.

Hating the lockdown? Longing for a cold pint in the pub with your mates? Really wanting a picnic in the park with the family? I am all of these things, and the reason I’m STAYING AT HOME TODAY, is that I want those things back soon!
