Long live terrestrial, linear TV.
Tonight would have been shite and, quite frankly, impossible without it.

Dylan Llewellyn seems very sweet. I reckon he thinks it's called Celebrity Amble across the World.

I'm hoping that Alan Carr's presence on The Celebrity Traitors will lead people to Changing Ends, series three of which I'm currently previewing. It's my favourite current TV sitcom. Love it. #ChangingEnds

New series of Shetland begins tonight - a drama that always gets big ratings despite rarely being talked about by media folk. (Well, I have made it my pick of the day, but you get what I mean). #Shetland

I'm so glad Kathy Burke decided to publish her memoir because I've loved reading it. An encounter with a grieving cabbie, the awards win for Nil By Mouth, her verdict on Kerry Fox...all her stories are terrific. I've never met you @kathyburke.bsky.social but I wanted to say thanks for writing it.

Was enjoying Richard Osman's new novel The Impossible Fortune up until the point he stated erroneously that there was a British Heart Foundation charity shop in Purley. Now, the illusion is shattered.

Interesting to compare the number of views on the dramas uploaded to ITV's YouTube channel. What do people want to watch? The Hack? Trigger Point? No...decades-old episodes of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.

Much as I love Scream 3, it really didn't need that content warning on BBC Three. Gale's feathered fringe is the scariest part of the whole movie. But I will be watching it through to the end as per usual. #Scream3

If Doctor Who's budget is to be halved (as this article theorises), then Joe Cornish really ought to be given the gig post-RTD. He's an endlessly resourceful creative talent and knows how to bring fizz and a sense of wonder to all his projects. Hire Cornballs! #DoctorWho

Just finished The Long Shoe by Bob Mortimer. It's another of his 'everyman out of their depth'-style tales. Not the same main character as in The Satsuma Complex or The Hotel Avocado, yet it may as well have been! But Bob's tone of voice is, as ever, a pleasure to be around. #TheLongShoe
