Despite a combative reputation, Val Kilmer was great fun to work with on Life’s Too Short, always willing to be playful and self-deprecating. I got to know him socially too, and he was as engaging as he was eccentric. A true one-off. RIP Val

I first saw Sean Lock live at a Bristol comedy club in mid 90s and remember laughing so hard my stomach actually ached. RIP to an hilarious man taken far too soon.

So very sad to hear of Ewen MacIntosh’s passing. A lovely, uniquely funny man who played Keith in The Office. So hilarious when we asked him to improv a voicemail message that we wrote more dialogue for him, and he stole every scene he was in. A total one-off. A tragic loss. RIP

I loved being a guest on Steve Wright’s show - and being a listener even more. No matter what was happening in real life, his programme was an oasis of breeziness and good humour. RIP to a brilliant broadcaster

Dear TV House Makeover shows. Stop giving yourself only 24 hours to get the job done. It seems unnecessarily stressful for everyone involved.

If Mike Tyson can fight Jake Paul for $50 million, I will fight Stephen Merchant for $30 million. It’s being dubbed “Battle of the Pool Noodles.”

The flowers make it look like @PaulMcCartney and I have just renewed our wedding vows but in reality we’ve just left a preview of the exhilarating new #TheBeatlesGetBack doc, full of gloriously restored footage of the band working and laughing in the studio. A music fan’s dream.

Here’s @TheRock, introducing our trailer for the movie we’ve made together...
In 2012 I watched a documentary about a young, unknown British female pro wrestler & her wonderfully crazy family. I loved it!
It was a story that my @SevenBucksProd had to tell. That girl @RealPaigeWWE would go on to help redefine @WWE women’s wrestling. #FightingWithMyFamily

I read that when car dealerships reopen, they’ll trust customers to test-drive on their own. Good news for Dominic Cummings, who can test a new car and his eyes at the same time.

I would think this puts an end to all those accusations of treason
“I said the word 'would' instead of 'wouldn’t’.”

Bruce Springsteen, one of few rockers to keep his integrity, has spent career singing about working class woes. If he plays your inauguration you’re probably on right side of history. And if the Springsteen tribute act you book to play at yours didn’t show up, you’re probably not
Leave behind your sorrows
Let this day be the last
Tomorrow there'll be sunshine
And all this darkness past
Big wheels roll through fields where sunlight streams
Meet me in a land of hope and dreams
