10 years ago today i got up at 6:45, bought a paper, read a short dismissive preview of the inbetweeners from a TV critic i respect and like, and went to work thinking 'oh well, at least we tried'.

what winds me up about the Channel Four thing is that it’s free. if you complain about the licence fee i think you are an idiot, but i can see the kindergarten logic. Wanting to get rid of something that costs you nothing and no-one forces you to watch?.

You can watch all the episodes of The First Team on iplayer from 10pm tonight. As i've said before i'd love to hear your feedback only if it's positive. I'm not really one for constructive criticism or negative reviews, I'm in this business for the praise.

The Festival film ("gloriously puerile" NME "a spiritual sequel to the inbetweeners" The Observer) is now available on Amazon Prime. Please watch it and let me know what you think of it if, and this is key, if you like it. I'm only really looking for praise. thanks so much.

if anyone thinks this interview will change the monarchy it’s worth remembering that the Queen has offshore accounts. i think storing money with your own face on somewhere it can’t be taxed shows a certain resilience to criticism.

i loved the original Murder in Successville and couldn’t believe my luck when @arnettwill said he was making a US version. i directed a few of the episodes and ruined a number of scenes by laughing too much, though my main job was reminding Will to get to wardrobe.
Marshawn Lynch, Sharon Stone, Annie Murphy, Conan O’Brien, Ken Jeong and Kumail Nanjiani are here to help Will Arnett solve a brutal murder — the only catch is, they weren't given a script. Welcome to Murderville, a new improvised comedy series premiering February 3

Channel Four costs the taxpayer nothing and yet delivers so much for the country as a whole. suggesting it’s being held back from competing with Netflix - which it sells shows to - by being publicly owned shows no knowledge of the business but also no knowledge of maths.
