We all know #theBeatles story, what happened, how it happened and how it ended. But what if just one decision had gone against them, if George Martin had turned them down leaving space for an alternative Beatles' history. This is it. amazon.co.uk/Sorry-Boys-You…
Only in retrospect can my generation see how fortunate we have been, how our parents & their parents did the heavy lifting politically that would shape our lives. Will we bequeath to our children & grandchildren so much good fortune? amazon.co.uk/Born-Right-Tim…
I've known #MayPang for over 50 years and watched her film #TheLostWeekend with nothing but admiration. In the same circumstances others might have settled scores or bigged-up their contribution to the #JohnLennon legend. Not May. She told her story simply & honestly. Brilliant.
There is nothing good about Brexit. Everyone knows it…some are just too invested to admit it publicly.

Hundreds of thousands of us would have heard my play on Radio 4 yesterday, every one of whom would have a reason to be grateful to the NHS. The play was called Dedicated, as are all those who work in the NHS and who we so often take for granted. amazon.co.uk/Born-Right-Tim…
Listen to this Victoria Derbyshire interview with an asylum seeker… …it absolutely blows the Rwanda narrative out of the water. THIS is what has been entirely missing from the national conversation - the viewpoints and motivations of asylum seekers.
Cogent advice.
Philip Jackson and Alison Steadman star in Ray Connolly's radio play about how in 2020 he spent 6 months in hospital with Covid, and how music helped break into his coma and nurse him back to health. BBC Radio 4 at 2.15 today. Also slightly longer version on BBC Sounds.
In 2020 Ray Connolly spent 6 months in hospital with Covid, mainly in a coma. 'Devoted' is the story of how his wife Plum feared the ringing of the phone from the hospital, & how music was used to break into the coma & help nurse him back to health. BBC Radio 4 at 2.15 today.
My thoughts during Day 102 in ICU with Covid in 2020. 'I had a lucky life until I got Covid.' 'You're still lucky,' replied a consultant. 'You survived.' Yes I did, thanks to the NHS. My radio play about Covid, Devoted, is on BBC Radio 4 at 2.15 tomorrow. amazon.co.uk/Born-Right-Tim…
I'm going to post this video every day until the election
Four years ago I was beginning the best part of 6 months in hospital in the first wave of the Covid pandemic. My radio play about the medical care I received there, Devoted, can be heard again on BBC Radio 4 at 2.15 on Monday. amazon.co.uk/Born-Right-Tim…
Exactly 4 years ago I was taken to hospital suffering from Covid, an experience I later wrote about in my radio play Devoted - which can be heard again on BBC Radio 4 at 2.15 on Monday. amazon.co.uk/Born-Right-Tim…
