Are you sure you're not my daughter? She's watched 'Nativity' about 50 times in the last month #misterpoppy

It's Sunday Night at the London Palladium, not Saturday afternoon! No wonder you've never met Tommy Trinder (or have you?)

Did it also show you a video of your house exploding?

I reckon he prefers it - gets to hang out upstairs with Claudia on Saturdays without all the training and competition nonsense.

Frank Spencer, Eddie Waring, Harold Wilson. Mike Yarwood's act, basically.

"Looks like my mother-in-law!" So much to love in that segment. I used to be able to recite Roy and Kenny Lynch's middle-eight banter by heart (probably still could - "don't forget the double-breasted lid!"). Also love Roy stumbling into the Dr Terror film poster as he struggles home. Lovely stuff.

The photo of buckets, spades and fishing nets is so evocative of childhood holidays. Just needs the Beezer summer special.

"Successful" is an odd choice of adjective. Usually it would be "major" or "hit". Successful feels just one step up from "adequate".

Missed the last episode. Bought the book. Not sure I ever actually read it.

"Lene" "just arrived from Denmark" "speciality: cutting" - is this some kind of Oxonian polari?

A "Talking Heads" reboot? I can picture you as a latter-day Thora Hird.

It's practically compulsory in France. My daughter has just had two with Nutella, folded into triangles. Triangles! I looked on disapprovingly as I ate my sensible British rolled-up lemon and sugar pancake.

There aren't enough cars named after Pipkins characters. I'd happily drive a Vauxhall Topov.
