My dad’s experience of dying - a thread of edited excerpts (without the medical jargon!) from my 2020 response here: bmj.com/content/368/bm… He desperately wanted the opportunity to choose to die on his terms - I promised to share his story in support of #AssistedDying ❤️ 1/14

@ChrisChapman81 @KittyCostanza Thoroughly impressed dads & kids in this house - congratulations & thanks Juno! 👏

An INTERSTELLAR evening watching Doctor Who with old uni pal & housemate, the glorious Juno Dawson - plus bonus @KittyCostanza. So proud of Juno for an outstanding episode!

@Rylan Agreed - vocals were flawless! You should be proud of yourself on @bbcdoctorwho too btw 👏

Proud of our girls x🇬🇧

@juliaisobela @GLADDUK Congratulations 🥂 - really impressed by the fantastic work of all the @GLADDUK team. It’s gone from strength to strength & clearly is in fabulous hands 😎👏🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Delighted to have been elected as a Co-Chair of @GLADDUK I’ve been involved with GLADD for 4 years now - running SoMe & being involved in numerous projects & teaching! It’s been an utter pleasure so far - looking forward to getting involved further in my new role as Co-Chair!

@sally_hines @WarpFilms @BBC An incredible piece of television history - remains chilling and prescient to this day and I can’t imagine the impact it would have had when it was first aired. 👏 to your dad x

Delighted that #Sheffield film company @WarpFilms is to remake Threads. Dad wrote this in the early 1980s for @BBC Directed by Mick Jackson it was shown in 1984 and won 4 BAFTAs. It was the most difficult writing of his career. The original cover of Radio Times

@ChrisChapman81 I foresee calm, peace and serenity in the hours to follow… 😳🤣❤️ Love to you all 😘

Edie has found her Everest.

@ManningOfficial @SawbonesHex Your latest @bigfinish together was *fabulous* 👏 Iris as Sixie & Sixie as Iris - some impressive accent work me chucks 🤣

on my way home ! really love this man @SawbonesHex ❤️

@lewis_goodall @TheNewsAgents 🤣 The acid test for me is the fact my kids enjoy watching the show & love Ncuti’s doctor - as well as Millie and Varada’s companions who they can relate to in different ways. Hugely nostalgic Saturday night TV as a geriatric millennial fan 👴🏻

@StuSutton @TheNewsAgents

Ignore the muttering. The last couple of Doctor Who eps have been some of the best in years. Gatwa is owning it.

@ChrisChapman81 Best of luck Chris - a v special doc re an incredible man & the horrors of the AIDS epidemic in 80s & 90s. Many tears shed! Meant so much to those of us in LGBTQ community who came after 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️. The love from @thenicolabryant was palpable & connection to RTD & #ItsASin ❤️ Bravo 👏

The Moon Balloon gang is all here for the Royal Television Society Awards in Bristol - we're up for Best Factual for Looking for Dursley, fingers optimistically crossed!

Online version now available: ‘Rights can be knocked out in a second’: older trans women shocked by supreme court ruling theguardian.com/society/2025/a…

@MhairiHunter Transphobia codified... What do trans women do in interim even if this was practical? Who polices ‘womanly’ appearance? What happens to butch/non gender confirming cis women inevitably harmed by this? Trans men born women can/should use the women’s single sex facilities then? 👎

This is simply absurdly impractical. To require all public buildings to provide gender neutral facilities would be prohibitively expensive.

@ChrisChapman81 👏❤️

Popped to London today for the family viewing of our new WhoRay biography - and to my great relief, it went really well. Now celebrating!

This is positive news for @kimleadbeater #AssistedDying Bill & Liam McArthur MSP’s Bill in the Scottish Parliament 👍 CC @dignityindying @_HPAD @sarah_wootton @allythomson01

Really pleased - the right outcome and brings @rcgp in line with @TheBMA and other major Royal Colleges 👏

@AMadmanNotABox Showing my age as a geriatric millennial (& lack of technical expertise) - it’s a point at the TV and film effort 🤣

@AMadmanNotABox Just appeared again after Only Connect

#DoctorWho is coming, and the BBC are teasing… And it’s not just the London Taxis. It’s the Statue of Liberty too! I guess it’s time for there to be a Harbinger back in town.

@ShaunLintern Depressing window into sexist, racist & homophobic behaviour that has no place in NHS. Some senior colleagues believe they’re so important they’ll never be held to account and act with impunity. How are these people revalidated? What would happen to non medics behaving like this?

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Surgeons at a top NHS trust embroiled in allegations of racism, sexism, homophobia and bullying that created a “toxic” culture and harmed patient care, according to a secret report: thetimes.com/article/aa769d…

@rcgp My experience as a GP and as a son & why I support #AssistedDying

Also critical @rcgp are clear *in advance* of what criteria will be used to assess the result. Last time we had: ❌ 47% oppose ✅ 40% support ❔ 11% neutral Yet somehow this was interpreted as a mandate to remain opposed… Lack of clear majority should = neutrality

It’s important that GP colleagues engage with this new survey. My strong view is that College should - like nearly all others & @TheBMA - be neutral on the topic of a change in the law on #AssistedDying. There’s no other way to accurately reflect plurality of views 🧵 below 👇
