I've been writing a film script with my writing partner and Bluesky sceptic, Mike Arber. My printer is used to 30 page sitcoms. Pretty sure I heard it crying earlier, which is a good sign for a rom com, right?

If you missed this week's #TheSkewer here it is on BBC Sounds. And it even includes a couple of bits from us having a go at Keir, which he probably deserves.
