It’s National Adoption Week and a chance to reflect on the utter joy our daughter has brought to our lives. If the opportunity ever comes your way, do consider it. The full story is in the book but the short version: adopting was probably the best thing we’ve ever done.

Back in 2001, Karl Wallinger was a guest on Jammin' on BBC Radio 2 and he performed this version of 'She's The One' about Robbie Williams (and I was very proud to have helped Karl write the new lyrics and deepen their feud). RIP a wonderful musician and lovely man.

Today is both World Down Syndrome Day and the 13th anniversary of the day our precious daughter moved in with us! We are very lucky to have such a wonderful soul in our midst.

Can’t remember if I've ever posted this before… I was on BBC radio comedy 'The Now Show' in 2000, as my first character, the actor/raconteur Sir Bernard Chumley. The gag was that he was supposed to have been on it 15 years earlier, in the mid 80s, and he had written a comic song

Belated farewell to Chris Serle. Around twenty something years ago, me and my good friend, Ashley Blaker got Chris in the studio to narrate our very funny radio comedy sketch show pilot that sadly never saw the light of day. To coin a phrase, 'That's life.' R.I.P.

Here’s ep 1 of the series, in which I discuss my years as a long-haired history student, during which time I became completely obsessed with pre-English Civil War religion! They say history is written by the victors, but it is also studied by the losers. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
