This irked me, too. But the ‘the’ doesn’t work either, for me. Should’ve been just

COP: Miranda rights?
DREBIN: “I’m pretty sure…” etc.

If you’re in Edinburgh, go see Robin. He’s one if those ‘excellent comedians’ you sometimes hear about.

Streisand Effect in action with this online age verification thing. I've just found out what "porn" is (pictures of people shagging!!) and it's brilliant. A real own goal for Keir Starmer if you ask me. But don't bother asking me, I'll be too busy enjoying "porn"! 😎

Surely SURELY she did not say this? Way to go, Ofcom.

Final #DeadRingers for this series in the can. Yes, the audience made *that* uncomfortable laugh noise at a couple of points. Here’s what the live recording looks like in pretty colours form. Second pic is waveform of *that* uncomfortable laugh noise. Hear the results 6.30pm #Radio4

The sound mix is incredible though. (Not so much Bono’s boots)

It’s a three way tie between Groove is in the Heart (makes me want to kill), that abomination about being gorgeous by Babybird, and Jump Around because of the noise it makes like stabbed horses.

Ep 5 of the current #DeadRingers #BBCRadio4 very much on the way at 6.30. Yes, the audience made *that* noise again. Also, just to clarify in advance - no real puppies were harmed by our Prime Minister kicking them.

I’m no expert but I would’ve got a person to do it.

New #DeadRingers coming your way at 6.30, #BBCRadio4. Some of the subject material made the audience make *that* ‘oh god they went there’ noise. Yes, I have left them in the edit.

Are you in Sheffield on Sunday? No, you’re probably not. But here’s a reason to be! #CrossedWires. Plus, tickets are free and there’s booze. crossedwires.live/podcast/afte...

In the mid 80s, my ‘copy Don Johnson off of Miami Vice’ look came straight outta Fosters in Nuneaton.

Went to my school, in fact.

Never mind the Bob Vylan / Kneecap controversy, there’s genuinely something v funny about the BBC live streaming Olivia Rodrigo and the director cutting to close ups of 13 year old girls screaming ‘I still fucking love you’ down the barrel. Fair play. She’s really good as well. #glastonbury2025

It’s because some writers perhaps pen one or two great lines that I like to fold into the show as a whole (I am pretty passionate about encouraging new talent) and I make sure they get 1) a credit and 2) paid. It’s an important way of getting people on the ladder.

Week 3 of #DeadRingers #BBCRadio4 as producer coming your wireless way at 6.30. Here’s the live show recording, in pretty colours.

I’ve been undressed by kings
And seen some things
That a woman ain’t s’posed to see
I’ve been to Parad..

no it’s some fucking bins jesus christ

Voice, certainly. Couldn’t possibly comment on the writing. X

*sends kiss*. X

Fair to say the audience made a few ‘Christ, you went there’ noises this week’. I always like it when that happens.

Aaaand my second ep of #DeadRingers for #BBCRadio4 as Producer is now delivered for its 6.30pm Comedy slot. Here’s what it looks post recording, in pretty colours.

This is the last thing the BBC needs

I live directly under this. It’s quite the spectacle right now.

If you wave, I can probably see you

BBC Radio 4 - Dead Ringers, Series 26, Episode 1. Greta, Trump and Eau de Farage The team are back to train their vocal firepower on the week’s news.

Stepping into the shoes of the late Bill Dare, I’ve produced tonight’s first ep in a brand new series of #DeadRingers. It’s ok though, only 2 of the jokes made the audience do a sharp intake of breath. 6.30pm, Radio 4. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

So, this week is #MensHealthWeek and the good people @ProstateUK have asked me to share a message. Men! Get checked! (I suspect you can still ask for the bum-finger if that’s the sort of thing you fancy.)

He looks like a cormorant about to be cleaned by RSPB volunteers.
