@BritishBakeOff No comedians this year, no journalists, no decent minds at all - I was gutted. The show is really being dumbed down.

@AntiqueRoadTrip @DavidHarperTV Do you think he looks different here? A bit of a David Harper lookalike is on every day on French TV as a weatherman.

@hawley_caroline @PhilipSerrell @jonathanprattJP @BBCBargainHunt PLEASE Caroline Hawley, stop telling people 'no peeking now' when they've already respected the request to close their eyes. They are NOT children, and this is patronising.

[Jane MacKenzie @JaneFMackenzie]

@DavidHarperTV Found you out, David, moonlighting as a weatherman on French TV! He crops up all the time after the news.

@richardosman Saw on an authors' forum recently that you said "appearing on The One Show helps sell books". As my fellow author said - if only she'd thought of that! Only celebs get your kind of publicity and marketing options. Happy publication day and enjoy your easy success.

@liv_maidment @MMLitAgency Saw this earlier in the summer, and today taking the opportunity to submit to you! I think my latest book is a great fit for you!

@AntiqueRoadTrip @natasharadio James made the most money yet lost the trip. Says it all for your new format. Rubbish.

[Jane MacKenzie @JaneFMackenzie]

@AntiqueRoadTrip Such a lack of jeopardy in your new format. Lost the show I have always loved. By Wednesday Margie can't be caught. Plus the experts can never splash out with the profits they've made. And we can all see clearly that you're combining two shows into one auction. Sad.

I’m glad King Charles has been given a 53% pay rise. Hopefully he’ll be able to afford that roomier golden carriage he’s always wanted, for when he‘s due to make a speech about child poverty.

@scattyscribbler @LuathPress Loved the book!

[Jane MacKenzie @JaneFMackenzie]

@AntiqueRoadTrip All very well but yet again this week the road trip is in the sad new format. You certainly love Gildings auctions! Did they pay well for the publicity? Saving money filming by selling everything at the same auction! Just spoils the competition.

@JennyBrownBooks @thebookseller @edbookfest @BloodyScotland @EdinCityofLit Wow @agentjenny - this is so wonderful and so well deserved. Congratulations!

[Jane MacKenzie @JaneFMackenzie]

@AntiqueRoadTrip @Hettie_Jago @Raj_Bisram Had to pass by this week's Antiques Road Trip on BBC1 - it's that new formula, no development, experts have clearly bought a load of stuff in advance of one single auction, and that lasts three shows. Trying to save money. Remove all the interest.

[Jane MacKenzie @JaneFMackenzie]

@Sci_of_Steph What a day indeed. It was a privilege to be invited to his funeral recently. A great event that remembered him just as he would have wanted.

[Jane MacKenzie @JaneFMackenzie]

@HeatherParryUK Glued to this on the news. So important. Hopefully gov'ts now won't be able to justify their endless support for Israel.

[Jane MacKenzie @JaneFMackenzie]

@Jyngs Share your anger, Mac

[Jane MacKenzie @JaneFMackenzie]

@LiamMcIlvanney Hope you're loving being back in Scotland, Liam, in spite of the weather!

[Peter Kravitz @kravitz_peter]

In the present, utterly desperate conditions, when the head flips from numbness to rage, this story of Scotland's Forth Bridge is something to look forward to. Hear from Lovebirds, Gadget-Man, Digital-Woman & Jenni-of-all-trades...

@TheProfRobin So the programme today (17 October) has Vicky from Edinburgh in it, and Nigel Havers introduces it as being all about visitors from 'Angleterre'. Get it right, Nigel!
