I wonder why the only names being pursued in the media in the Epstein abuse saga are British? And the only person imprisoned is also female…

Much though I have enjoyed all of my many trips to the USA over forty or so years I have realised that I cannot go there any more until there is what we might call ‘regime change’ Like Iran they are killing their own citizens. Tragic

Interesting to see Inspector Morse - House of Ghosts by Alma Cullen is touring again. It was on in Oxford this week 16 years after I played that part in it at the same theatre. Good play - well worth a revival.

He’s right about one thing No one’s ever seen anything like it

The advert says ‘the coolest gadgets of 2025’ and shows something that looks pretty cool, which does not figure at all on the website when you go there. I’ve fallen for it several times.! Enough already!

Just watched the first two episodes of the war between the land and the sea Brilliant stuff, just brilliant Hats off to Russell T and Pete Tighe and all involved.

For years I have complained about the absence of anything in a theatre program to indicate what year the play took place in and still they don’t include the year with the date. Fine when you’re in the theatre, but not years later when you’re looking at them.

The FIFA draw is steadily moving from tedium to massive embarrassment

Happy Doctor Who Day everyone 62 years of Gallifreyan fun and frolics! 👍👏🩷

This is James and Alana Who between them ensured I was at Salisbury Comicon today when a pothole destroyed two of my tyres when I was 9 miles away! They picked me up and waited for the AA and tyre repairer 🩷

Happy days are here again Recording Big Finish today That’s always a good day

My heart goes out to all the people that have a pet that’s terrified of the fireworks tonight 🐶🐱 Hugs x @oldsixie.bsky.social @nicolabryant.bsky.social

Minority representation on TV causes outrage From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

25 years ago this last weekend, my dearest oldest friend Stephen Barry left us. He was not only a great director and theatre administrator but the best friend I ever had and I still miss his humour, kindness, and loyalty. I just wanted to see his name out there again and send love to his family.

@hstokes.bsky.social happy birthday for yesterday dear Hazel I’m sorry this is late but better late than never. I hope you had a really good day.

Anyone know what's happened to the @oldsixie.bsky.social presented #DoctorWho @bigfinish.bsky.social podcast Into the TARDIS ?

Haven’t seen it mentioned on social media yet, but just learned the fabulous @louisejameson.bsky.social is bringing her one woman show up north very soon! 🥳 Dates in Sheffield, Farsley, & Harrogate in May & June! I highly recommend it. Funny. Moving. Brilliant! 🫶 louisejameson.com/shakespeares...

Sad to learn today that there will be no more McDonald and Dodds A beautifully made and played series - ITV please relent?

Watching Crufts and missing the expertise of my friend Peter Purves But the dogs are as always fabulous!

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Intrigued to see that House of Ghosts which I toured with playing Inspector Morse in 2010 is touring again this year. One of my favourite jobs ever. There was another stage tour in 2015 too with my friend Nigel Fairs playing Morse. So it’s odd they’re advertising it as the First Ever stage version!!

Since it’s five years since Jo Martin made her debut. Here’s the time where she posted about Colin being her Doctor. Hope we get a multi doctor story with Sixie and Fugitive. #JoMartin :) two legends.

Today, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde boldly called out Donald Trump for his hatred and bigotry at the National Cathedral Prayer Service. Now, the GOP is attacking her for speaking truth to power. REPOST if you stand with Bishop Budde against Trump!

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

Admiring the optimism of people who assume there will actually be another, democratic election in the USA in 4 years' time.

The UK has some of the highest energy prices in the world. Why? Because our wholesale electricity price is set by the most expensive source. So even if 99% of energy used was wind or solar, and 1% was gas, we’d still pay the gas price for all of it. Graph from the Times.

Christopher Benjamin was one of cleverest, nicest, funniest and talented actors I have ever worked with and he is a great loss to us all. Sad days…

Watching and loving the first series of Ted Lasso Always nice to discover a new TV joy

I used to find Twitter very useful until you know who turned it into something else. He appears to be trying to do it to our country and our politics now - we should all make it clear how we feel about that. If he comes over here perhaps he could be arrested for criminal libel?

Mind your own businesses and leave the UK alone.

Why do all hotels and public buildings place loo roll holders behind the seated user, visible only to the minority standing user whose need is usually less?
