@rodstewart Sorry to cheekily ask, but my mother’s a huge fan and is in hospital. Being able to see you at Glastonbury is keeping her going (she has stage 4 cancer), so could you possibly give her a shoutout on stage, especially if you sing Maggie May. She’s LYNDA PARKER. Thanks.

@docjohnwright Just read your BBC interview. I work in a bank in Halifax, and I believe I may have had Covid-19 in January. Started feeling unwell on 19/1, but became very ill on 25/1 (cough/breathing difficulties/fever). I was aware of Wuhan but assumed it was flu.

OK so all those times I wanted to be the Doctor when I was little could maybe fit into that world now. That's a nice thing to think.

I'm a huge film buff, and that's thanks in no small part to Barry Norman.

@ParsonsFiction I seem to be alone in thinking it was the best of the season so far.

I really hate how some people feel they can treat the death of Carrie Fisher with less compassion because she was an addict.

@Derek1Griffiths With Brian Cant's sad passing, I felt the need to thank you and tell you just how loved you are. Thank you for my childhood

@SamMichaelC Given that it's like Aridius today (good old Terry Nation's obvious names) and the whole story is gloriously silly, The Chase.

[Alun Harris @Alun_H]

Oh, that's sad. I hope he knew just how much he meant to several generations.

@iamjohnoliver Random question, but did you do an uncredited cameo voiceover in "The Newsroom"?

[Alun Harris @Alun_H]

@Andydrewz You get eleventy bonus points for the Numberwang reference

@mcgregor_ewan I used to respect you as an actor. I now also respect you as a decent human being.

@bluebox99 Miss Marple (assuming the definitive Joan Hickson is playing her)

It is becoming increasingly obvious that David Bowie has established a better alternate universe and is populating it selectively one-by-one

[Alun Harris @Alun_H]

@windyourneckin It's perfect for a farcical middle-class sitcom, isn't it?

[Alun Harris @Alun_H]

Has there ever been a more ill-fitting theme tune than Van der Valk's Eye Level?

[Alun Harris @Alun_H]

Love Christmas songs but want a suitably cool alternative selection? Look no further... https://t.co/0bUvPCMhbt
