It used to be, but turns out I don’t like it very much.

Love my Christmas songs playlist, but it could do with some new blood. Any suggestions, folks?

If you want to pile on Love Actually, you have my sword. And my bow. And my axe.

The Venn diagram of people who believe Die Hard is not a Christmas movie, and Reform voters, is a perfect circle.

Hey, BlueSky! Any questions for this week’s Empire Podcast? Look, I don’t want to throw shade at other platforms, but Twitter is really dropping the ball on this. Now’s your chance to prove, once and for all, that BlueSky is the strongest one there is!

A picture of David Nicholls, who’s adapting Adrian Mole. The joke is that I’m pretending to think that he’s been cast as Adrian Mole, even though he’s clearly in his fifties. So there you have it. That’s the joke. I’ve just explained the joke. Thanks a bunch, alt text.

Terrible casting. This gentleman is clearly far too old. He’s got to be at least 28, maybe even 29.

If you haven’t secured your ticket to see our live show on January 9 at @kingsplacelondon.bsky.social, you now have more options, as the balcony seats have just been released. Still a few seats in the stalls, but if you want a bird’s eye view, here’s your chance! www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/com...

Actually, every pod has been tightly scripted from the off. Takes me most of the week to write them. Even the interviews. I hate it when famouses forget their lines and have to read off a page.

We’re down to the last six rows for episode 700! So if you want to be there and witness film-related fun with your very own eyes, you’d best be quick!!!

Fun episode, this, with a shocking revelation. Who knew that the pod is tightly scripted? NOT ME!

I like the Carry On films but the lore is too confusing, impossible for modern audiences to accept these people could play a major part in the French Revolution AND lose their bras on camping holidays

Having a vaguely shitty day. Decided to cheer myself up by treating myself to a slice of Leto (not that one) tiramisu. Had a coughing fit after choking on the chocolate dust. Now need to cheer myself up again by ordering a second dessert.
