Bandcamp Friday! If you don't have my audiobook Bowie Day then you're not a true David Bowie completist. Pay what you like, surely worth a fiver at least 😃 #BandcampFriday #DavidBowie steveoliver.bandcamp.com/album/bowie-...

Is technical difficulty part of a running #SNLUK gag? The sound went last week and this week it just went off air, thankfully during a weak sketch but didn't even make it to Weekend Update.

Little known Nottingham fact, all of ITV's sitcom output in the 70s was written down this one street.

Morecambe and Wise would have been ideal guests on The Muppet Show. TV savvy but also true to the show's music hall/vaudeville ethos, and well known in America (more so than Brucie and Spike Milligan who appeared), even thought Grade didn't interfere he could have suggested them to Jim Henson.

It is Bandcamp Friday and there are still people claiming to be David Bowie fans/completists who haven't downloaded the audiobook Bowie Day. Pay what you like, whether it's £1 or £1million today's the day. Thanks in advance steveoliver.bandcamp.com/album/bowie-...

Reminding myself that Ricky Gervais used to be able to write comedy (or co-write obviously).

I remember Richard Herring once saying in an interview that Channel 4 would pay Ricky Gervais if he filmed himself shitting in a bowl. Having just seen the trailer for Alley Cats, substitute Channel 4 for Netflix and this prophecy has come true.

Of course I will be watching Ebenezer later this year for completist reasons, but this short film already does the back story. youtu.be/KoJj0nBMkPw?...

Agreed. If he'd had a better chance on the big screen then Rik Mayall could have been a bigger movie comedian than Chaplin or Sellers combined.

Today's date triggers PTSD as it used to be my wedding anniversary. Luckily I escaped and reclaimed my life but other domestic abuse victims aren't so fortunate, it can happen to men too so rather than taking the piss for being 'under the thumb' see if you can help.

Has Channel 4 put money in to TFI Unplugged or have they got an hour that hasn't cost them anything given they are basically pumping out a youtube video?

It's Bandcamp Friday, please pay whatever you can for my audiobook Bowie Day because you can't call yourself a David Bowie completist without it. In fact, are you even a Bowie fan without it? Every pound helps so thank you in advance ☺️ steveoliver.bandcamp.com/album/bowie-...

Out dog walking and we met an Old English Sheepdog and I said to his human "that reminds me, I need to buy some paint". Nothing! I maintain that pop culture references should be taught in schools.

I do quality over quantity on Bluesky and having an even slower follow climb than I did on Twitter. Please recommend me and my amusing posts to get my numbers up. Many thanks in advance ☺️

A day late to #SNLUK but as with the American version, Weekend Update is the stand out brilliant bit. The Attenborough Last Supper sketch wouldn't have looked out of place on the ITV series Copy Cats.
