Thank goodness that batsman went after it otherwise it would have been a wide and he’d have had to bowl it again

[Mike atherton @Athersmike]

Wrote this column way back in March, about Flower for Test job and McCullum white ball. Will it now come to pass? Problem is events since then make it messier and more complicated than it would have been at that point. ECB behind curve not ahead of it

@Glinner @MulvilleJimmy Hi Graham, I’m huge huge fan of your work. I produce the podcast where Jimmy made those comments, and while I obviously know nothing about the events in question, I’m not sure that an entirely fair characterisation of what Jimmy said.

New ep of Insiders out now.

Jimmy talks candidly about the Father Ted musical.

Also some chat about PG Wodehouse, living next door to John Cleese, and the much missed money printing machine that was selling spin off books and videos of your hit shows.

[Owen Braben @owenbraben]

We’ve got the cast of Ab Fab back together to share all of their favourite memories of making the show. Which, apparently, won’t take long…

Tune in to Absolutely Fabulous : Inside Out at 9pm on October 17th on Gold to see if anyone can remember anything else.

Oasis reunion sparks spate of 'What's The Story?'-adjacent reboots

[rob delaney @robdelaney]

Just had a brief but very illuminating conversation with President Biden, whom I support fully. He told me as a kid in Scranton he used to… here’s the deal: you take an old tire and fill it with soup - listen. Ten, twenty people in one car. You better believe it. Pepperidge farm

[Jay Motty @JayMotty]

Mel Brooks is 98 today. Seems like a great excuse to watch that time he summed up The One Show perfectly 😭

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Trump says some of their potential witnesses were "literally crucified" by the judge. Big if true

[Tim Rice @SirTimRice]

Brilliant captaincy from Ben Stokes, allowing the Indian innings to continue until halfway through the day which meant that we were all awake to see Ben Duckett's magnificent century.

[John O'Farrell @mrjohnofarrell]

First preview of Just For One Day, the Live Aid Musical tonight. I am about to go on @BBCr4today to talk about how I wrote the show. (I’m just going to go on and on about my choice of font.)

[james menzies @jamesmenzies1]

Somewhere Peter Morgan writes down in his notebook: ‘James Norton as King’s Proctologist?’

[Thomas Schnauz @TomSchnauz]

WE DID IT!!!!

[Neil Gibbons @neilgibbons]

I know the guy's getting slated for blaming the writers for his Golden Globes monologue. But A-listers sitting there stony faced because a comedian made a weak joke about their film and they found it insufficiently amusing always annoys me. Crack a smile, you miserable bastards

[Neil Gibbons @neilgibbons]

He gets a bonus if he signs the contract before xmas. This is known as the Santo clause

[Nathalie Antonia @natsantonia]

Whenever a producer tells me my script has “got legs” I always respond with “great shall we take it for a walk?!”

Still waiting on my first commission.

[Owen Braben @owenbraben]

On Have You Seen? this week, Richard Curtis tells us why he thinks Colin From Accounts is a romcom sitcom masterpiece. And we chat about the script he wrote for Notting Hill 2, and a 90s Hugh Grant meet-cute project that (alas) never saw the light of day. https://t.co/tqvNaYWsSV

[Lisa McGee @LisaMMcGee]

Life imitates art 😂

[Arabella Weir 💙 @ArabellaWeir]

Have a listen to this - Paul Whitehouse and @monstroso talking about The Fast Show - it's them at their sweetest. Btw, when they talk about Arry - that's me. https://t.co/nCwFv4pnWo
