@AlienInterview Yes most of it was shot in Stoke Newington. Long time ago now. Glad you enjoyed it

@PhilDavis6 I enjoyed that film a lot. I saw it on Ch4 in Feb 1991 while visiting family in Gosport. I live very close to Deptford. Am I right in saying that most of it was filmed on the other side of the Thames? I found some of the locations on Google Earth, e.g. the pub in Stoke Newington.

So sad to hear that Nabil Shaban has passed away. I had a ball working with him on Deptford Graffiti in 1990 which I directed for Ch4. Born with brittle bone disease and confined to a wheelchair he was, a great campaigner and a fine actor. A real original.

@TLartice Thanks Tammy.

@phildavis6 if you can see this please message me as when I was out today(hospital app) my son saw you take a photo of your old house (carnach green) i live there now, your more than welcome to come inside and look. I believe you also knew my aunt, Kathy Treble x

Roughly 10 years ago, I had supper with a few friends & quite a large number of people I didn’t know, & one man brought his fiancée who suffered from severe coprolalia (a form of Tourette’s, where your brain makes you involuntarily blurt out inappropriate & offensive things.) Over the course of the evening, she happened to shout out the most derogatory homophobic slurs one could imagine whenever I spoke. Because I KNEW she had this condition she COULDN’T HELP having, there was ZERO offence taken & we all simply laughed it off. Believe me, there was NO ONE more embarrassed, distressed & upset as SHE was, despite our efforts to reassure her. Probably worth bearing in mind before mindlessly castigating someone for a condition that is already hell to live with…

@diggydigger Yup

@PhilDavis6 I will watch then. Are you in it?

Season 2 of Trying arrives on BBC1 tonight at 10.40. Gorgeous comedy. Don’t miss it.

Relativity Richard Herrings family comedy is repeated on Radio4 at 2.15 this afternoon, with myself and Alison Steadman (among others). It’s very funny. Worth a listen.

Love, health, happiness and a very merry Christmas to all of you who follow me and all you who don’t. I hope 2026 is good for you.

Wonderful actor Jack Shepherd has passed away. He was thrillingly good, something of a hero of mine when I was getting going. Very sad.

Watching brilliant WSL match Arsenal v Chelsea. Great game but one of the worst decisions bet a ref that I’ve ever seen to disallow an Arsenal goal for handball. It didn’t touch hand or arm. Really terrible. She’ll be ashamed when she sees it back

Magnificent effort from the US Ryder cup team. What a comeback. But we did it in the end. Fantastic

@FFYT315 What are you talking about? I’m not comparing our countries. I’m just saying that at a golf match the crowd should not be screaming abuse at the Euro team while they line up their shots. It’s boorish and rude.

@PhilDavis6 Good luck with your country being overrun by criminals and terrorists They hate gay people so you better watch out Libtard fuck

Horrible scenes in NY at the Ryder cup. Half witted twats with Stars and Stripes trouser hurling abuse at European golfers when they’re putting. Shameful

@FFYT315 Twat

@PhilDavis6 You said horrible things by half twitted twats…your outraged by a drink being spilled on a person and words but not by a government that allows rapists free? Fuck off limey piece of shit

@FFYT315 Dear oh dear, what an idiotic thing to post, I’m talking about a golf match. I feel sorry for you

@PhilDavis6 Fuck off limey The drink was hit out of someone’s hand dumbass Meanwhile, this is your shithole country

@TerryJamal1 True you bonehead

@PhilDavis6 Following our president's lead!

@Noles252 Twat

@ThomasR20535709 I’m calm.

@PhilDavis6 Calm down it's only a game

@ChrisPh69142503 What nonsense, cries of WANKER on a golfers backswing, constant abuse isn’t passion it’s a crude and unsporting attempt to undermine the opposition. It’s cheating. Nasty and unneccesary.

@PhilDavis6 Hey Phil you sound like you need to file an HR complaint if someone clapped too loud. It’s the Ryder Cup — passion is part of the game. If that’s too much for you, go cover synchronized napping where silence is mandatory. You’re shameful for 😭

@chimpychimpy37 @crayonvaggio Thanks

@PhilDavis6 @crayonvaggio I watched iD again recently, you got a wonderful performance from Reece Dinsdale. It’s a brilliant film Phil.

Watch out for The Firm on BBC4 at 10.0. The late, great Alan Clark’s last film. A young Gary Oldman at his very best, Lesley Manville, a bit of me. The first of the football hooliganism films. Made in 1989 it’s a stunning piece of work.
