Our beautiful friend Emma Chambers has died at the age of 53. We're very very sad. She was a great, great comedy performer, and a truly fine actress. And a tender, sweet, funny, unusual, loving human being.
My remarkable mum. 94 today and still strong smart and mischievous. Still having a glass of red wine and a packet of pork scratchings every day for lunch. Still reading every page of the
@guardian
every day. Still angry about Trident. Still beautiful, still ballsy, still my hero.
My amazing mother Jill is 91 today. Still swimming 30 lengths every morning. Still tap dancing every Monday. Still acting professionally every year. Still nailing the
@guardian
crossword every day. My hero.
Karmic moment yesterday... saw woman knocked off her motorbike by a driver, on his phone, who hit and ran. Nobody got his car registration - but while we waited for the ambulance and disentangled her from her bike, we found his numberplate stuck in her mudguard.

Very proud of my Richard for dreaming up Paddington’s Royal Tea with the Queen sketch which just won BAFTA FOR BEST TV MOMENT OF THE YEAR. Thrilled for Paddington too.
Waking up in a bed with a man, a son, a pregnant cat and a dog.... it is most definitely my birthday. 58 is looking good, though rather squashed, so far.
on the eve of his 63rd birthday, i would like to nominate richard as a hero for the sheer fact that he has put up with me foisting animals onto him for the past 29 years.
"Back in the dog collar, back in Dibley and back on your telly at Xmas." Dawn French confirms The Vicar Of Dibley is to return for three new short episodes this December!
OH MY DAYS THE MATT SMITH SAID YES. He's tweeting (via my account) for the whole episode! 1st time ever on twitter! FFS join us on Monday, find 'Vincent And The Doctor' on any platform (iPlayer, Netflix, Amazon etc) and press play at 7pm. Then check

So..... I have officially asked The Matt Smith if he'll join Richard Curtis, Tony Curran, Karen Gillan and Bill Nighy in live-tweeting their 'Vincent And The Doctor' episode on Monday at 7pm BST. The Matt Smith has never tweeted. We await his answer...

Goodbye Mr Mike Yarwood. Thank you for casting me in your shows as Princess Diana. Still incomprehensible to me that it happened but you were lovely to work with.
Our BBC1 show tonight features this little film from Olivia Colman. It's only 90 seconds long, but the work it features is really important. If you can, do donate a few pounds at - thank you.
Took small cat to America when we moved here last month. Had no idea she was carrying some passengers. Four of them born on my pillow last night. Oops.
he's only SLIGHTLY handsome I guess - but if you could bear having a drink with Tom Hiddleston after seeing him in 'Betrayal' in the west end, then we can sort it for you here...
Incomprehensibly I am 60 today. Celebrated last week in LA by going to a TikTok dance class with
@WeeMissBea
and
@Solemani
. My 94 year old mum was thrilled. My children were horrified (am now too old to mind). Hello old age - bring it on.
apologies if I'm the only person in the UK not to know this...but on a zoom call, if you go to the symbol at the bottom of the screen that says 'start/stop video' - press the tiny arrow - then press 'video settings' - then press 'touch up my appearance', IT MAKES YOU LOOK BETTER!
5 years lost in her bedroom unable to leave the house. And last night she is given the changemaker award by Margaret Atwood and

had a £10 prize draw for ‘breakfast with Sir David Attenborough’. This morning, the great man gave an engineer and his daughter a stunning private tour of
@NHM_London
before sitting down for breakfast. It raised a 6 figure sum for our projects and I cried.
They gave us the profits of ‘Who do you think you are’ in ‘97 and now they’re handing over the profits from their tour T shirts. Their money has and will transform lives all over the world. Proper powerful girls these ones.
This is all about supporting women and helping them be heard. We’re honoured to launch our

23 years ago today this magical creature arrived in our family. I never dreamed it was possible to love and admire a daughter as much as I love and admire her. She has taught me far more than I could ever teach her. It’s an actual privilege to be her Mum. Always.

Never been happier. She had four. They are perfect. Although Spike named them and did worse than ever. Japhet. Habibi Hamoud. Squeezy Lemon. Onion Table. 🤦🏻♀️
When you get to that moment in lockdown that ordering amazon tap shoes and watching YouTube tap videos with your daughter, niece and 93 year old mum feels like an appropriate activity for a Wednesday. That.

Just watched the episode of Mastermind where 'the films of Richard Curtis' was a special subject. Claire the Solicitor got 11 questions right. Richard Curtis got 3. She can write his next movie.
You know that thing when you say to your editor at
@bbcgoodfood
‘why don’t I interview famous chefs at my house while cooking their own food for them to eat’ and he says yes and then tomorrow Michel Roux is arriving to eat my cooking and I feel sick with fear. That.
Happy happy birthday Richard. I got him every 63 year old’s dream.... a trumpet. He hasn’t played it since he was 15 but hadn’t forgotten how. Sort of. Quite painful tbh. It wouldn’t be his birthday without an awkward photo of him on here posted by me. So here you go Rich.
Going to see Love Actually tonight for 2nd time since the premiere in 2003 - at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, with a LIVE ORCHESTRA playing the score. Richard introducing it. Exciting. Hopefully.
Thank you for brilliant suggestions. So if we were to launch a challenge to ALL UK schools: at 9am on morning of

, the whole school assembles to dance to ONE SONG (same song throughout the UK), and each students pays £1, WHAT SONG ARE THEY DANCING TO???
The original film came out 25 years ago. We filmed the sequelet in December. Here is the first official photo. And it's on BBC1 on March 15th for

Am IN AWE of the UK. With no traditional school or community events possible, and with shops and offices closed, the donations last night were still above our best predictions. The campaign RAISED £52m FOR OUR PROJECTS. We promise to spend it brilliantly on your behalf-Thank you.
Got canvassed at home by a campaigner for the Mayoral election tonight. Opened the door to see this face... he's a hardworking candidate. Was like the moment in Love Actually where Hugh Grant tries every door.
HUGE NEWS. Fancy some breakfast with Benedict Cumberbatch and the Sherlock cast? It's $10 to enter and we'll fly you to London, but anyone in the UK can take part too - - MRS HUDSON IS COOKING THE BREAKFAST FFS. All proceeds to

This is a real shocker… 90% of British pensions invest in companies that produce arms, tobacco or fossil fuels. If you're not ok with that, watch this 1 min film feat. a naked Martin Freeman. You’re allowed to CHOOSE where your money is invested.
