I’m barely on the social mediums these days but just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and the finest and dandiest of new years.

@djturner Happy birthday Donna! Hope you’re having a wonderful day xxx

@exitthelemming Much love to you and the family Sam x
English
@brinatello I’m very sorry for your loss. Glad you can both be there for your dad.
English
@simonblackwell I remember Jo in "Love Actually"! 🥺 How sad; I'm sorry to hear of her passing. 💔 My sister and I just lost our stepmom on the 12th. We keep making visits to Dad's to be there for him and help go through stuff. It's a horrible disease that keeps taking everyone far too soon. 😭

Jo was a gifted actor and such a kind and generous soul. When she knew her character in Breeders was based on my late mum she went out of her way to get her Battersea accent pitch perfect. Gone far too soon, she’ll be much missed by everyone who had the privilege to know her.
English
@johnbC74 Absolutely. My mum did it every time she was at our house and it drove my wife up the wall.

@simonblackwell That’s a real shame. Can I ask Simon, is the rinsing the cup out & then Ally mouthing “that’s not clean” bit based on your family also? Love that bit. V v real.

20 years ago THIS VERY NIGHT since the first episode of The Thick Of It went out.

@simonblackwell Thanks Simon. The Kenneth episode was superb. Which others are yours? I'm a bit of a comedy nerd - with Seinfeld I always look out for Larry David's episodes. Massive Curb fan.

Back, the sitcom @RealDMitchell, @arobertwebb and I made a few years ago, is now on Netflix.

@NiceRamble I wrote 4 episodes. Would have done a fifth in the final series but I was contracted elsewhere. Very much enjoyed it.
English
@simonblackwell @RealDMitchell @arobertwebb Blimey, you've worked on some excellent shows.
I'm rewatching Peep Show on Disney+ (not enough cartoon animals, but hey) - Just saw the Kenneth episode. How many did you write, Simon?

A lovely afternoon at BBC Broadcasting House recording with the marvellous @simonblackwell writer of top class comedies such as The Thick Of It, Breeders, Veep, Back, and so many more. Our chat coming soon to The Comedy Club on @BBCRadio4Extra

Shocked and saddened to see this. Bill was a lovely, funny, talented writer and producer who gave so many people their start in comedy. Thoughts are with his family and friends. Horrible news.
Jon Holmes@jonholmes1
Beyond devastated. He was my friend.

@exitthelemming So sorry to hear this Sam. What a talent and what a man. Love and condolences to you and your family x
English
@morm333 Thank you Sam, that’s a lovely thing to hear. Very pleased you enjoyed it.
English
@simonblackwell Also late to the party but just watched all 4 series of #Breeders on #sky . Hands downs it’s the best comedy series I’ve ever watched.Relatable, laugh out loud funny and poignant. Brilliant writing and acting. Each series is consistently outstanding. Loved it!
English
Seasons 1 to 3 are on Netflix, or all four of them are available on Sky and Now TV.

Very late to the party, I know, but I'm really loving #Breeders by @simonblackwell Not very often you watch something that makes you laugh out loud whilst your eyes are full of tears.
English
@Geoff_McGivern @jasonomahony @Channel4 @arobertwebb @RealDMitchell Thanks Geoff, that’s made my day.
English
@jasonomahony @Channel4 @arobertwebb @RealDMitchell I agree, best comedy scripts I ever read. [Hitch Hiker brilliant but sui generis, not sitcom.] *Tips hat to @simonblackwell*
English
“Back” streaming on @Channel4 starring @arobertwebb @RealDMitchell and @Geoff_McGivern is a woefully unrecognized comedy classic.
English
Only just seen this. She was so great. A brilliant comic talent.
