Quite something, this superior piece of #wackaging clocked by my friend @PaulSDavy at St Pancras. A serious message masked in childish prose. @wackaging

@selz_j She played Hat and Feet a while back. Must be a fan.

One reason I like Liza Tarbuck, she plays some fairly unknown songs - Super Collider by Fountains of Wayne is a great song, everyone just thinks of Stacy’s Mom but they have a lot of really good stuff.

The 10 year celebration of @WickedProd #tonbridge panto was always going to be good but it blew us away. @tommyswifty @AmandaJSwift @RhysWhiteside et al and brilliant return of @fentonstevens Don't miss. All the favourite antics and an added emotional slice of west end magic! 😜

RIP #RichardDarbyshire. My musical taste evolved quite quickly and quite significantly from my early teens but I loved some Living in a Box as a very young man - fun band with some good tunes and the guy could certainly sing. God bless him. #livinginabox

@fentonstevens Tonbridge is very much looking forward to having you back in action soon!

Arrived in lovely Aldeburgh for the week. Two shows next week alongside a very fine line-up!

@seanhannam It is a bit disturbing in Peppa pig when they all have a Bacon sandwich

There is a YouTube account my kids have stumbled across in which an American guy points out all the mistakes, inaccuracies and unrealistic moments in Bluey. Mate - the cartoon is about talking dogs… Take a long, hard look at yourself - you have far too much time on your hands…

A @wackaging nudge from Argos! #wackaging

@MartinRossiter You always said the sun would come out. X

Long Live Gene Hackman

@NickdeSemlyen You're right Nick - a massively underseen gem. And pure Gene

What is there to say to add to the tributes to the singular, magnificent Gene Hackman? Well, here’s one tip: watch Narrow Margin, a criminally underseen thriller with him at full force. And then watch The Conversation, and then Crimson Tide, and then The French Connection, and then…

Two incredible films

One of the personal highlights of my career was bringing the French Film Gardé a Vue (Under Suspicion) to life with the incredibly gifted Gene Hackman. And of course... Unforgiven. Rest in peace, my friend.

The circumstances sound awful but regardless, Gene Hackman has always been my favourite actor. Even in terrible films, he made them totally watchable. De Niro or Pacino didn't have his presence. He was that good. Utterly gutted. RIP.

@geneband_ I can't decide which one I really love. Probably Libertine though.

What's your favourite Gene album? Gene HQ x

Arguably all other Wackagers should give up after this. Not sure it can be beaten. @wackaging @ai tchyrobinson

@NickdeSemlyen There was and will be no other.

I wrote some words about David Lynch.

Another absolutely brilliant @WickedProd Panto at the @emftheatre in #Tonbridge. Some ingenious new stuff - a hysterical tent scene, troll and Viking hobbits. And a triumphant boombox! Hilarious antics from @tommyswifty @AmandaJSwift and the gang from start to finish! Don't miss.

A joke having a rail replacement service and the bus pulls in just as the train it is meant to be connected to pulls off. Thanks, afternoon ruined. Why not hire people to coordinate this stuff @Se_Railway #southeastern
