Delighted to report Tom Stoppard was a huge fan of Hey Duggee and often sent me hand-written letters detailing moments he had enjoyed in my episodes.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

Current financial discourse taking me back to the early 2000's where everyone was going on about how people in their twenties were idiots for not saving properly and me and my friends were all, yes, sorry, we keep meaning to do something with all SPARE MONEY WE HAVE JUST LYING AROUND DOING NOTHING.

Well, I tried to watch the new series of Stranger Things but unfortunately I can't remember who any one of them are or what happened before or who's cross with who or who that person is or why that's happening or why those people are over there etc.

Can’t underline this enough really: these cases are a squillionaire giving crackpots money to seek out individual members of the public quietly going about their working day, so they can turn them into national hate figures, hand in hand with our utterly poisonous media outlets. That’s all it is.

The life of a French fence must be exhausting, one day it's a load of snails that like 4 restaurants worldwide even want, the next it's the crown jewels of a country that hasn't existed for 400 years, probably tomorrow it's a thousand baguette baskets carefully handmade from Aquitanian reeds

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Do we or do we not live in a country where these awful people got their way at almost every major decision point of the century so far? We do! Is it good? No, it is a national calamity. Are they sorry? No they’re not, they’re *absolutely furious* that they haven’t got more and worse.

Er. Yes. You see, you take money from people who have money, and use it to pay for things for everyone and help people who have too little money. That's... the whole point?

Working on a radio project and the producers keep apologising to me for the money being so poor - finally had to break it to them that it's *way* better per minute than being in a team of tv writers where the script fee is split five or six ways. Poor things were genuinely shocked.
