Join us then, wherever you get your podcasts. Unless that's from around the back of a shed.

Ronnie Barker, who passed away 20 years ago today, was a true master of all aspects of TV comedy. My one-time tutor, the late great Ian Davidson, once told me jokingly that 'Ronnie B thought he could do everything better than everyone else... and he was usually right'. 1/2

How about fat presidents? Also, “Secretary of War”. Ugh.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 11d

Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."

Look how excited @jamespayton.bsky.social is to join us tonight for a live-streamed #morethanmostlycomedy. Actually, it may be less excitement & more fear.

Expect talk of Marvel, Potter, Tim Burton & more. It'll be interesting, or your money back (no refunds). www.ticketsource.co.uk/mostly-comed...
