A huge thank you to all who donated to @CarersUK after this @BBCRadio4 appeal. We managed to raise double our ambition so hugely grateful to all of you who helped. It means such a lot to be able to help the unpaid carers of our nation 🙏🙏🙏.
Tomorrow I’m doing the @BBCRadio4 Appeal for @CarersUK to mark the start of @carersweek. On at 07.54 and 21.25. I’d be so grateful if you could listen and donate. Johnnie & I were Patrons of the charity for 10 years (& I still am!) #unpaidcarers #charity

If you want to truly understand the horror of being part of #thepostofficescandal then I can’t recommend this listen/read enough. I don’t know how Jo Hamilton kept going. Inspired casting using @MonicaDolan who played Jo in the drama.
Following her acclaimed turn in the recent ITV drama, we're thrilled to announce that the award-winning @MonicaDolan will return to narrate the audiobook of Jo Hamilton's (@JoHamil73963257) upcoming memoir Why Are You Here, Mrs Hamilton?. Out next month with @BlinkPublishing

Always a pleasure. And today (Thursday) at 3.27pm is the final time to hear my @BBCRadio4 appeal for Carers UK. Such an important charity offering millions of unpaid carers support. The donation number is 0800 404 8144 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️.
Earlier this week our Patron @TiggyWalker featured on @BBCRadio2 to talk all about life with, and after, Johnnie Walker, and their caring story. Thank you Tiggy for your continued efforts to highlight carers and #CarersWeek. Catch up here: (from 1:05:40).

My mother asked me a very good question as she’d like to donate… ‘What’s the number I have to call Darling?’ Well it’s 0800 404 8144. Just incase you’d like to join her. Thank you 🙏.

If like me you found @piratejw - Johnnie Walker’s final sign off on @BBCRadio2 last October the best radio moment of the last year, you can vote for him to win (posthumously) the Radio Times award at the ARIAS. Here’s the link: 🙏❤️👍.

The ARIAs are returning next month with the Radio Times Moment of the Year award – but who will win?

Fans of @piratejw. This weekend I’m selling his best clothes on Vinted. Look for Wigtogs. That’s me. Things are getting snapped up. But I want you to know as you might like a little piece of the great man. Breaks my heart. But needs must and all that. 🙏. Ps. He had great taste!.

Amazing news. My short film 'The Kitchen Garden' was just selected by New York Film and Cinematography Awards via I won Best New Director for Shorts and Features. So thrilled. Think @piratejw is pulling some strings up there!

My Johnnie @piratejw may have passed 3 months ago - but he still manages to be Pick of The Day/Week - which is a fantastic achievement! And on his 80th Birthday too. Thank you @RadioTimes @thetimes and @tvtimesmagazine. And to @Dr_Paul_Thomas, @lizziebarn and @BBCRadio2 ❤️
