Very proud of my dear friend Paul for not only realising a lifelong ambition, but doing so in such style! If you love Doctor Who, or audiobooks in general, this will be a must-listen when it's released on 5th March.
I know this should have been half-decent given I spent 40 years training to write it, but it's still room-pacingly exciting to see a lovely review like this!

It has been such a pleasure to work with my dear friend Paul on this series about Sir Arthur Elvin, who I grew up being told I was related to. Catch the whole series on @BBCSounds now. It's beautifully crafted by @the_questmaster, who we all know is an absolute radio genius.
My new series The Man Who Made Wembley, written and produced by me, presented by @Thunderfairy, goes live on @BBCSounds tomorrow morning. I'm very proud of it, and I hope you enjoy it if you choose to listen. Here's a little teaser! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0l8zg…

The sad moment only BBC Local Radio peeps will understand...when the song is the actual perfect length to fit before the news jingle!

Haha! I kind of want to add two little dots so it's a ➗
The breakfast the producers on @Thunderfairy's show lays on at the weekend is kind of lengendary and all at their own expense... but I do have to complain that this is more of a hot line bun than a hot cross bun

Spoke about my former life as a taekwondo silver medalist with @Thunderfairy on @BBCCambs yesterday - listen from 1.38.00 (11.38am) on BBC Sounds for a handful of silly anecdotes 🥋🦵bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0jdsc…

I used this in the archive feature on @Thunderfairy's show yesterday - clearly great minds think alike! Now you too can see it in all its glory...
#OnThisDay 1959: Norwich becomes the first place in the world to have a postal code on letters. With the aid of an electronic sorting machine, this will mean faster sorting. Postmaster-General Mr Marples gives an impossibly awkward interview.

Not sure if I'm listening to ITV commentary or The Garden Party. Spoke more about the weedkiller than anything #ENGSVN cc: @Thunderfairy

This was a real highlight of my show the other day. You're right. It was brilliant!
The impromptu performance in Occupied France? Brilliant.

On the radio til 2: I'm talking about the words you say differently in your family... We say chipolato rather than chipolata...that was how my Icelandic Dad always said it and it's stuck!

Producer Annie has Star Wars plates. I've got Ipswich Town gnomes. What's in your house that you didn't put there (and don't want!)?
