The thoughts, writing and performances of Stephen Mawhinney told from a very subjective point of view.
And a lot of sport.
So pleased to be a (small) part of the writing team for this show. Make sure you catch the last episode of the series here:

Huge news - this week's #TheNakedWeek features Blue Peter's very own Janet Ellis AND contains stuff written by us.
Okay you only care about the first of those but that still makes it worth a listen

If we have to endure ads from streaming services here's what I want - The adverts have to be from the period the programme was first broadcast so it's like the VHS recordings you used to make for yourself.
I'll only sit through them if they include a Dixon's Christmas ad from 1987

And if you missed last night's #BreakingTheNews you can listen to that here. And it also features some stuff by us, about football and Trump, our two great loves.

Scotland aren't actually going to do this? This would be the most ridiculous qualifying campaign ever!

And if you prefer your topical comedy with a Scottish flavour here's this week's #BreakingTheNews
Thrilled to have written for this too!

I've been collecting pandemic era signs that nobody can be bothered to take down or remove. There's something grimly fascinating about this. Putting them up was urgent and important; removing them is nobody's job. How long will some of these hang around?

Thrilled to have been part of the team for an incredible episode of #TheNakedWeek And pleased to work with Wes Streeting to give some publicity to a little known show called Celebrity Traitors.

I mean this can't possibly be true, can it? Taylor Swift on #TheNakedWeek ? I guess you'd better listen at 6.30pm to find out.
TONIGHT- 6.30pm - #TheNakedWeek only bloody well welcomes actual TAYLOR SWIFT to the show as recorded last night in London.

One thing I really like about the celebrity version of The Traitors is that there's good faithfuls in the final and not just useful idiots. (Although it helped that they decided to banish one of the less good faithfuls...)

Cracking panel and cracking show this week on #BreakingTheNews and even contains some stuff by us.
