Comedy screenwriter person. Danger Mouse, Strange Hill High, Lloyd of the Flies, So Awkward, 4 Kids & It. That kind of nonsense.
Grand Prix of Europe opens in UK cinemas this Friday. Positive reviews are already coming in for this fun, fast-paced rodent racing movie - which features a stellar cast (Gemma Arterton, Thomas Brodie-Sanger, Hatley Atwell, Lenny Henry) and smatterings of general script-polishy nonsense by me.

But it got worse when the policeman at the Lobby Queue asked us what we were doing. He seemed to initially assume we were there for some kind of cause…

Finding MPs was pretty easy and we quickly managed to film ourselves following Donald Dewar and George Robertson about - but they were both not-Tories and also disappointingly light on their feet, quickly disappearing into parliament, where it was impossible for the three Spocks to follow.

Soon we were pushing our clothes down into the massive bag, having got changed in the bushes at Victoria Tower Gardens. Next, the serious business of finding some MPs to follow about whilst taking tricorder readings and calling them “Captain”…

Saw them at a party in some kind of aircraft hanger in Glasgow in the early 90s and then again a couple of months before Keith’s death. Incredible both times (also played him a couple of times in low budget TV comedy shows. Got some fun reactions walking around with that hair)

Back in 1997 the Tories genius NEW LABOUR NEW DANGER poster campaign revealed evil eyes lurking behind a red curtain. What's less well known is that we found the terrifying creature behind the curtain and took it to leap out on Sir Giles Shaw, chairman of the 1922 committee, at his office in Pudsey.

My daughter’s just discovered how pathetic Instagram’s AI opt-out is (and is beside herself, having spent years building a community there). Anyone here know of any alternative thievery-free sites for artists?

This is called “going to comprehensive school”. But I appreciate this might be a valuable experience for people who’ve been to public school… so maybe just send them…?

I know this is a Labour Party online campaign but my god, you could stick this up on every billboard as the only campaign poster of the election… and then bring it back in 2029 and 2034. The horror at what these people have presided over is deeply embedded.
