Get ready for the Addams family cabinet tomorrow. IDS & co. The failed yesterdays men who got us into this mess and then blocked Brexit because it wasnโ€™t hard enough. . ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ

If you do one thing today, watch one of his interview sketches with John Fortune and ask yourself if itโ€™s ever been more beautifully done. RIP George Parr. ๐Ÿ’”2/4

By nature, it tends to be anti-establishment. The greatest current example of satire is that a Conservative administration stuffed with establishment figures seeks to convince the public that it is anti-elitist and champions what Farage calls โ€œthe little peopleโ€. Cui bono?

Looks like Boris is doing a better Trump impression than I do. Blaming everyone else for his own self-destructive buffoonery.

On the subject (and indeed as a subject), the Kingโ€™s first address was a belter. Heartfelt and moving, his greatest tribute a pledge to follow Her example.

This is an awful shock. Any performer who appeared on The Big Show on R2 will testify to the energy, professionalism & preparation that Steve (& Tim & the team) put into that unique show, the interviews & making us welcome. Such a smart, creative, natural broadcaster.

I used to watch from the wings and marvel at how the two friends made it look so effortless, so blissfully funny, their skill and enjoyment in the moment making light of the seriously detailed research that went into each piece.

RIP June Whitfield- go-to comedy actress for 3 generations, from 60s radio to 70s, 80s, even 90s TV. Always graceful & elegant with a real comic glint in her eye & (absolutely) fabulous timing.

I queued as a schoolboy in Edinburgh to get my Goodies Album signed, and canโ€™t believe 40 odd years later we were doing Clue together in January. Big theatres, huge laughs, such joy & affection for Tim. He was an absolute delight. โค๏ธ
