Historically accurate Oddie, see?

Is that from BBC online? I can only find this, which is consistent with their style guide / colour scheme

I'm loving this Bluesky joke where we all pretend we were at Taylor and Travis's wedding. Extra funny for me because I actually was there! I kept two of these cute clips we got given so we didn't get our wine glasses muddled up.

I'm in Exeter to do a panel talk with @gralefrit.bsky.social and @alicelowetime.bsky.social at the Exeter Comedy Festival this eve. Hanging with wonderful comedy chums but forgetting to take pics so here's an arty shot of a bit of ruin I took instead.

I've just now realised what Melania's surprise statement on Thursday reminded me of

My sleeping arrangements haven't been weird enough to contribute to #duvetknowitschristmas but I do always enjoy this box in my mum's toilet

This image from the redacted Epstein files is like a work of art, darkly eloquent about deception and impunity. The way the rectangles get bigger..

I wrote a serious poem about Fridays in autumn. #bbctraitors #traitors #bbcstrictly #strictly

Two dusks, two dawns,
‘Twixt Traitors and Strictly;
Would that they would passeth quickly.
May Celia’s toot reverberate,
‘Til Shirley stands, and declareth "Eight!"

Terrifying map in the i Paper today. If Liverpool has grown that big and is approaching the east coast of England, it really might kick off

My films of the year. Top row I'd recommend universally. Second row more subjective. Each of those films did something brave. (Particularly The Apprentice, which isn't what you expect from the trailer. An important film right now).

If you haven't seen Conclave this weekend, get you to the cinema. Adapted by my screenwriting mentor Peter Straughan (of Wolf Hall fame), it has all the multi-layered complexity and cinematic beauty of art-house, combined with the twisty plot and sheer entertainment value of a mainstream thriller.

I'm struck by this detail in one of the Gregg Wallace allegations. The male colleague was probably clueless rather than actively enabling. But if he'd understood about predatory men, what would have been a good way to deal with this situation?

Do we do boasting here? This is hot on the heels of my semi-finalist laurel for their feature film contest. What can I say? Shore Scripts just love to give me a semi. (Bawdy boasting)

It might be an impersonator but I blocked anyway. Who'd even want to impersonate him? (Except for comic purposes)
