I interviewed him 15 years ago via Skype for The True History of the Blackadder, and still feel the thrill, but last night in Tenbury Wells was the realisation of a barely-hoped-for dream: an electric evening with SIR Brian Blessed. Happy 90th, your majesty! “I LOVE MY WIFE!!!”

Sometimes I worry that all the Beatle fans worthy of the description have bought FAB FOOLS, the most entertaining Beatle book ever published… But then I realise that if they had, I'd be able to put food on my family's table, so they can't have.

Going back to the much funnier late 90s for this #FabFoolsFriday, with Lucas & Walliams back when they were good, as three disturbing Beatles, in Rock Profiles… www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJOO... "It's very mediocre!" ✌🏾🎶🃏

Five years since I wrote and released the ultimate guide to The Beatles' comedy, all of their movies, funny songs, and the whole Rutles legend: FAB FOOLS. As ever, everyone else is now ripping me off. No book has ever been more unjustly overlooked. www.candy-jar.co.uk/books/fabfoo...

Don't ever use AI – on anything, but especially anything to do with The Rutles or The Bonzos. I mean, can you IMAGINE the white hot heat with which Neil Innes would DESPISE AI, and every loser who uses it? You're lucky he doesn't drag you to hell.

Paying tribute to the utterly great Sir Tim Curry this #FabFoolsFriday… well, sort of. His cod reggae cover of 'I Will' is certainly hilarious, but perhaps not intentionally. Hey, it was the seventies, white boys liked doing that voice, move on. RIP. #Beatles #Rutles #Comedy youtu.be/GnW8_59TE7U ✌🏾🎶🃏

People complaining about the fake beards on Sam Mendes' questionable biopic tetralogy need to be reminded that John's stupid 1969 beard really did look like it was held on with elastic.
