Well this doesn’t happen every day. My life as Count Binface, on the front of the Times.

I’ve written this for the Times: ‘I haven’t slept in my own bed for over a year.’ You could say I’ve put my back into parenting, and also put my back out. www.thetimes.com/article/681c...

I’m fulfilling two dreams this Bank Holiday weekend: presenting Pick Of The Week on Sunday and guesting on Great Lives on Monday, celebrating the ingenious Peter Cook. Catch them both on @bbcradio4 or @bbcsounds. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I had a blast reporting on the Boat Race. And I even got the names of the winners right.

I called it. Spurs should get a guest manager in every week like Have I Got News For You. Harry Redknapp, Glenn Hoddle, Stephen Mangan, Sue Perkins, ChatGPT - give them a game each. At least it’d be fun. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

England are playing 4D Chessum.

How’s this for a storyline: Tudor gets sacked. Poch does a press conference saying he can’t in good conscience manage the USA while Trump embarks on illegal wars, quits and rejoins Spurs to save them at the last minute. That’d be good.

I said get a guest manager in every week. Not a guest goalie.

Apology accepted. (I don’t have Tourette’s, but I did watch his opening monologue.)

I’ll say this for HMRC. Compared to banks and doctors’ surgeries, their hold music is a banger.

In a flash of inspiration, this morning my sleep-addled brain twigged that our boiler whirrs at the same pitch, tempo and timbre as the opening to Does Your Mother Know by ABBA. My day may have peaked early.

We have a daughter! Penelope was born under the new year’s super moon. She has a furry back so she might be a were-baby, but in a world of portfolio careers this is an extra plus point. She’s incredibly cute and worth all the sleep deprivation. Sarah is a doubly heroic mummy and we’re all in love.

All right - I've done a comedy writer and producers starter pack for everyone who's into that sort of thing. And YES, I've forgotten you, so remind me that you exist and YES I will put you on it (unless you have slighted me in some unremembered way in the last 20 years). go.bsky.app/AkQCH7U

Been a busy Christmas: producing Have I Got 2025 For You, presenting on Times Radio, producing a festive Unspeakable, ‘helping’ Count Binface interview Susie Dent, and Into The Sharkiverse getting a repeat airing. Time for a new production, of the human kind. Due any day.

I’ve been collaborating with @classicsforall.bsky.social who do fantastic work bringing Latin and Classics to state primary and secondary schools. It’s amazing how much the kids love it and how it boosts learning. A very worthy recipient in the Big Give: donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

What the hell is this doing in a BBC News story? 1. Cut the flippancy FFS. 2. We assume you check EVERYTHING. 3. Pre-school kids know an ichthyosaurus is a fish dinosaur, so it’s not rocket science to guess an ichthyocentaur might be a fishy centaur. Jeez.

Hi Martin, did you have any luck? I can't find any reference prior to the 1956 adoption of the motto on the crest.

I can’t say I’ve ever previously spent a Sunday morning chatting about Sydney Sweeney with Jane Mulkerrins and Anneka Rice, but I’d do it again in a heart-beat! #nonemoreblonde #tokenbrunette

@martincloake.bsky.social Hi Martin, I'm writing a piece about football mottos and I wonder if you can help with a Spurs question. I'm trying to find out when the club adopted audere est facere, but there's no definitive answer on the web. Might you know? Any help would be amazing. Best wishes, Jon

I hope Thomas Frank gets better treatment at Spurs than Ange did. Especially in the souvenir scarf department.

It's 10 years since we lost Dan. My only brother, my oldest friend. I've got married, had the most amazing little boy, become a space warrior by mistake, run for election 6 times, and most incredibly of all, Palace have won the cup. Miss you bro x www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYpa...
