My sole brush with screenwriting immortality was in 1986 when me & my mate Mark wrote a sketch for a BBC kids’ TV show called Fast Forward. Watched the show today. It is irredeemably awful. This is our sketch. They changed the end. We thought ours was better.

At the same time, I’m sure when you originally handed over your £800 they didn’t say, ‘oh, watch out though, in 12 years it’ll do a factory reset & you’ll lose everything’.

I had a sore throat for four days at which point it turned into a horrible chesty cough which I still have five days later🙁

I wish I’d recorded some shows while I still had the amazing voice.

Oh no, sorry to hear that. ‘Interestingly’ I had all the symptoms of the c-19 stratus variant but did two tests over a couple of days & both came back profoundly negative.
