The advice I often give young journalists is either never to name search or do it once, when feeling very emotionally resilient, as an inducement to never, ever, ever, ever do it again.

If you're in the UK and enjoyed the first three eps of #Andor, you could do a lot worse than to pick up our @radiotimes.bsky.social Star Wars special, on sale now - @spkellywriter.bsky.social delves into the real politics and history that inspired the show with Tony Gilroy and the cast, plus... 1/3

Firmly Team Fralexander now #TheTraitors

O Captain my captain #thetraitors

Charlotte #TheTraitors

I will only accept a Minah or Alexander victory at this point #TheTraitors

Charlotte wants to bring up Minah but knows she has to tread Caerphilly #TheTraitors

Fully team Traitors this year. I don’t want the Faithful to win a penny after how they treated Kassim

It's curtains for Tyler #TheTraitors

I think about this all the time!

Genuinely fascinating how they equate being a traitor (AKA Claudia Winkleman touching a shoulder) with some kind of moral failing #TheTraitors

also writing "we want to recruit you because you're a strong independent woman" absolutely screams "the Traitors are all women", well done everyone #TheTraitors

I will never forget

Conclave (2024)

Game I used to play when bored working on a supermarket checkout: start doing an accent and phasing it out gradually customer by customer. Can’t do it immediately because the person next in the queue would have heard me talking. Back to normal before manager comes over.

Mother 🤝 Reverend Mother #TheTraitors

Aren't we all, in our own way, pretending to be Welsh? Much to think about. #TheTraitors

Goodbye 2024…Happy Huw Year!

2025, we move

Sorry, but if you call him Sir Gareth I’m automatically going to think of his brothers Gaheris, Gawain, and Agravain www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/d...

Ok, one more… #GavinAndStacey

Another one? #Outnumbered

Busy day…anything on TV this Christmas? #SquidGame2 #TheTraitors #DoctorWho

Contender for TV moment of the year. What a guy. What a partnership. #Strictly

Highlight of the final has been watching Sarah cry on four separate occasions #Strictly

Rounding up my latest @radiotimes.bsky.social interviews with Peter Mullan, James May, @claudiawinkleman.bsky.social, Mika, Lang Lang & Brad Kella. Thanks as ever to @huwiemcchewie.bsky.social & Sherna Noah for the commissions

Ben Folds and Jeremy Irons should get together and start a dry cleaning business. They could call it Ben and Jerry's.

First sighting out in the wild. I spent all last week writing about Doctor Who (yes, including The War Games and the Proms), Death in Paradise (and its spin-offs), Call the Midwife (both eps), Vera, Casualty etc. And now it's suddenly available to be read. #RadioTimes

New Radio Times magazine out today, cover feature by me! Sat down with Doctor Who scribes Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat to talk about writing sci-fi and (specifically) Christmas specials

The Christmas TV listings are out and once again they have not listened to my proposal

Also, in Last Christmas Faye Marsay's character's to-do list includes a "Thrones Marathon" - but if she did keep watching Game of Thrones, she'd see herself starring in it a couple of years later...

How the husband moves me out of the way when he wants to hoover the bit of carpet where I’m standing #Strictly

Hot (ish) off the presses…today’s brand new Radio Times Christmas preview. Afraid my grubby fingerprints are all over this one. Interviews by me with Fiona Shaw, Russell T Davies, Steven Moffat, Melanie Walters and the creators of Outnumbered. And also…

For those who are interested, the BBC’s Christmas programming has been unveiled…for more see tomorrow’s @radiotimes.bsky.social! bbc.in/499Btk4

Kind of sus that they only release Moana movies in years Trump is elected.

Very funny that Sarah posted a lovely thread about how Doctor Who inadvertently informed our relationship and early years together, while I just posted loads of photos of myself hamming it up in the TARDIS.

Anyway that was a fun day...

In honour of #DoctorWhoDay – just unearthed this photo of me doing my best Bonnie after watching her shoot this scene. July '23! #DoctorWho

there should be an Austin Powers legacy sequel in the exact style of those new Ghostbusters movies

Yes, it isn't Christmas until Tár is on Netflix. This is, of course, known as the Sans Tár Clause.

Starter Packs are fast becoming the most divisive social media issue since the Bebo Top 9

The one thing I’ve never managed to find in IKEA

Clearly this show still has the sauce.

Not sure how I feel about all these new Taskmaster spin-offs #Strictly #Tashmaster

This is PVC gone mad

This how @huwiemcchewie.bsky.social and I will be entering and exiting a room from now on #Strictly #SCD

Some people jumped the gun with “skeet ” which has unfortunate connotations. So now I am committed to sharing my “bleats” with you all.

Gladiator II: basically a remix of the first one with two Maximus-es and two Commodi, but still not enough to avoid being hijacked by Denzel Washington’s insane levels of charisma.
