DYING FOR SEX is gentle, crushing, funny as fuck and will leave you either sobbing or speechless. It’s a story about cancer, sexual trauma, death, kink, pleasure and love that is like nothing I’ve ever seen. I am in awe of this script and all the people who brought it to life.

Proud to be part of this and grateful to this bunch of icons for their passion, time and hard work putting this vital campaign together. It’s time to ask our government to stop #TakingThePip
The letter will be part of a wider campaign launched by disabled celebrities that aims to bring attention to the government’s proposed cuts. Using the hashtag, #TakingThePIP asks disabled people to share their experiences, contact their MPs, and “take a stand” on social media.

Finished the final episode of SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE last week and I still feel emotional. That show is seriously special - such beautiful, tender, silly, clever writing. I loved and will miss everything about it.

My kid just described the date of my birth as the date when I was ‘first released’. Like an album. I think we should all adopt this terminology.

When this series is over and Stanley Tucci can no longer be spotted amid a herd of Calabrian buffalo eating a fistful of fresh mozzarella declaring ‘this - this is truly out of this world’ I shall be bereft. I may have to rewatch all 20 eps. Perfect for winter gloom 👌

It was such an honour to be invited behind the curtain on a show I’ve loved for fourteen years. Tonight’s episode of Call The Midwife (written by me) features a man in an iron lung and Poplar’s answer to the 1970 Commonwealth Games.

Keeping quiet about this for the last year or so has been hard work!
This job was a madly exciting, pinch-me experience. The team are amazing. The show will be broadcast later this year. I wrote ep 4 and co-wrote eps 5 and 7.

#TheFireInside is a true story perfectly told. The writing, directing, performances - all
bloody stunning. It’s the kind of film that leaves you just feeling grateful that a film like this exists.
It will also leave you empty of tears. This week particularly 🇺🇸🙏🏻

At a time when audio drama and entertainment is having a moment, it seems short-sighted of the BBC to cut their radio drama slots. Still, that is what they have been quietly doing.

Writing for radio is so exciting, collaborative, immediate. It demands a certain kind of imagination. Radio 3 is a rare space that actually cares what you have to say and gives you the time to - you know - author. And it reaches people in surprising ways. Shutting the door to this is terrible loss.

Last night on #Strictly Chris said ‘disabled people can do anything given opportunity, support & determination’. This is true for me and all my disabled buddies. Give us the first two, we supply the third and the results will defy expectation. Every. Single. Time.
