Stacked. Talking to Brett and Emma Thompson was an absolute joy. And if you ever wanted to know how I would win The Long Walk, the answer lies within. But is not for the faint of heart, or nose.

Empire Magazine @empiremagazine.bsky.social · 12d

- you clean up that banksy?
- sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign.

In case you missed it, our guests for the live show on Saturday are the wonderful Tim Key and Tom Basden, stars/writers of my favourite film of the year, THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND. So, if you’re coming on Saturday and you haven’t seen it, now’s your chance to rectify that.

Singing drummers terrify me. Witchcraft. Not saying we should burn them at the stake, but I’m not not saying that.

I also have a very memorable number. Which I won’t share here, of course. Yours is all over the shop. Numbers everywhere, no pattern or reason to it. Disgraceful number. Change it at once.
