I am very bad at avoiding distractions when I should be writing and I can certainly never write something else during a shoot. This guy, however, can write under any circumstances. Not just during a shoot but actually in between takes.

for being so lovely with my son who was so starstruck meeting him that he couldn’t use words 😆
#BBBCGhosts
has been our comfort viewing through the mess of the last 18 months and it meant a lot to us to meet him 🤩
I give up. Well done the 70 conservative Brexiteer tools that have brought shame on this country. But hear this; the young will eviscerate you eventually. I trust them more than I’ll ever trust you berks. Long live the young!
@Variety
Well done
@simonfarnaby
. Didn't think this would be my cup of tea until I heard you'd written the script and read some of the great reviews that have been popping up. Will go and see it next week.
Hi all very happy to announce my new book is coming out in October. So nice to revisit Rose, Merdyn, Bubbles and a delicious new villain. Excited for you all to read!
Dear news people, when mp’s say that the UK voted by an “overwhelming majority” to leave in 2016 can you politely point out that they didn’t, it was actually pretty close. Thank you. X

on in a couple of hours. In tonight's episode, Julian is concerned with his political legacy. Here's a shot I took on set which I think captures his quiet dignity.
#bbcGhosts
conversation with taxi driver tonight, radio on-
TD: Oh mate, what they negotiating about for now f’f**ks sake? Brexit’s done!
ME: I think that was a lie they told to win the election mate.
TD: would seem that way mate, would seem that f**king way!
ME: (sighs, looks at phone)
Ok the sun’s gone in you can go see Phantom of The Open at your local cinema! After viewing I’m happy to answer any questions anyone might have. Hope you enjoy it…
#thephantomoftheopen
This was one of the funniest children’s books I’ve ever read. Not just for fans of Horrible Histories, this is a fantastically witty and engaging story with (&I don’t use this lightly) Terry Pratchett-esq humour, sprinkled with historical facts & a talking guinea pig. Loved it!
Thankfully she is fine. I got it too but milder version. There is no logic that would have convinced me to drive to my parents. Not least the chance if giving it to my parents...
Psssssst 🤫 Horrible Histories fan? (Of course you are!)
@simonfarnaby
is releasing his first children’s book in October. Thanks for my early copy
@5getbookish

The sun’s gone down, but here comes the fun! Yes, tonight from 10pm, I’m back hosting The Comedy Club on

when I’ll be joined by my guest and old pal
@simonfarnaby
star and writer of Paddington, Ghosts and so much more.
Nothing to do with presence of mind Or self righteousness. It was government guidelines. I didn’t think ‘getting childcare’ was essential travel. And there’s ‘hysteria’ as you put it, because people stayed at home even when their loved ones were dying.
