So excited for Amandaland to hit screens today. A privilege to be involved in this new chapter of the MCU (Motherland Comedic Universe). Huge thanks to Holly, Sharon, Barunka & Helen for welcoming me aboard the scribbling team. BBC1 at 9pm or whenever you fancy on iPlayer.

You still have 24 hours (well, 26.54 hours) to vote for #BBCghosts in the #NationalTelevisionAwards. Obviously this will not take 26.54 hours, but you can spent the other 26.37 hours telling all of your friends to do the same. It's a brilliant plan. nationaltvawards.com/vote

In a cafe. Guy having a meeting in here has said ‘I’m business solutions’ three times, like it means something.

So excited to be invited to @ChalkeFestival to discuss comedy, history, dead people and the intersection of all three. So many great guests on the bill, ruined only by the very tiresome @benwillbond
For one evening only the festival gets spooky as The Captain & Robin/Humphrey swap Button House for Broad Chalke! @benwillbond & @Lazbotron, take to the stage on Fri 28th June - all included in your day ticket! 👉programme.chalkefestival.com… #Ghosts #ComedyLegends @HHTV_ #GhostsBBC

Look, I'm not going to tell you who to vote for. I mean, what do I know? I'm basically a collection of hair wrapped around an old shoe. But if you wanted to vote in the NTA's , there's probably a comedy that has brought you 5 years of unbridled joy (tears) nationaltvawards.com/vote/ca…

Somehow, despite the consummate professionalism of all involved, some apparent ‘bloopers’ from #BBCGhosts Series 5 have surfaced. Must be AI or something. youtu.be/E5CDGHq5g9E?si=URq9…
