Really sad that
#SteveWright
will present his very last
@BBCRadio2
show this afternoon. I always listen to him when I'm working. A great, upbeat broadcaster, with a strong fanbase. The BBC are nuts to axe him.
The new
#ABBA
album finally arrived today. CD and 12" orange vinyl. Not sure which to play first. Better not disturb me this weekend...

#ABBAVoyage
Thanks to all of you for the positive comments and retweets regarding my film
#Everything
#TheRealThing
Story on
#BBC4
tonight. The movie was definitely a labour of love for me, and I'm hugely proud of bringing the band's incredible story to the screen.
I often feel I owe a lot to this woman. I never knew
#MaryMillington
, but thanks to a little book I wrote about her 25 years ago, it led to other book projects, documentaries, short films and blu-ray releases. Virtually every day somebody messages me about her.
Today, 42 years ago, the great
#MaryMillington
died at the tragically young age of 33. She was a pioneer, feminist, brave trailblazer and advocate of free speech. And she will never be forgotten. RIP.
I'm excited to announce that my most recent movie 'Everything - The Real Thing Story' will get its TV premiere on
@BBCFOUR
on 7th August at 9pm.
#FeelTheForce
10pm tonight on
@Channel4
, my
#Saucy
! documentary makes its debut, featuring
@Robin_Askwith
. We spelt his name correctly on-screen, as you can see...
Thinking of the late, great
#MaryMillington
, who died on this date in 1979, aged only 33. Never forgotten. Mary's story will appear in my new
#documentary
coming this October.
#Unforgotten
is unquestionably the finest drama on British television. Emotional and utterly gripping. It's my favorite show. Creator/writer
@ChrisLangWriter
is in an absolute class of his own.
@ITV
My new documentary,
#Saucy
!, which tells the history of the British sex comedy is coming!! Part One is broadcast 28th July and Part Two on 4th August on Channel 4. #
#KeepingTheBritishEndUp
My personal favourite of all the books I've written,
#KeepingTheBritishEndUp
was first published 20 years ago. I've always thought what a great documentary movie it would make...
The great
@Robin_Askwith
sent me this photo yesterday. He's in his new rubber wetsuit. Let us not forget, this exceptional man is seventy years old.

Thanks to everyone who enjoyed

@Channel4

The incomparable
#MaryMillington
died exactly 45 years ago today, at the tragically young age of just 33. She was a sex-positive porn pioneer. Just imagine what she could have achieved, had she not died so young.

died at her home in Surrey, aged just 33. I never met her, but she's always been a huge part of my life.
#RIPMary
Over a decade ago I wrote a book on
#ABBA
. I was so immersed in their music I couldn't listen to them for years afterwards. But tonight, with the release of their new material, I'm enjoying them all over again.

Lots of people have been asking... the 5th edition of my book
#KeepingTheBritishEndUp
is due before Christmas. I'm hard at work on it right now. New film reviews, new interviews, new artwork and new photos. The definitive
#sexcomedy
encyclopedia is coming back!
My favourite Confessions movie,
#ConfessionsOfADrivingInstructor
now finally remastered on blu-ray, and part of the sexy new boxset available from 26 August. I've written the accompanying book and made the special features!
On this day 45 years ago 'Whoopee' comic was born. Launched on 9 March 1974, it ran (first as a weekly, then a monthly) until Jan 1995. It was a huge part of my childhood.

@britcomics
I included a cheeky 'Easter egg' in my new documentary

@Channel4
... Mr Askwith reading Whizzer and Chips comic from 1974. It relates to one of my big new projects for 2025...
Very proud of this blue plaque which can be seen on the front of the old Moulin cinema in Soho. Unusual, since it celebrates a sex film, and its star. Only 15% of plaques in London feature a woman's name. And yes,
#ComePlayWithMe
DID run for 201 weeks.
Who's planning on getting
#Saucy
! this weekend? Part one of my new film debuts on
@Channel4

Finally... it's coming... my new

@Robin_Askwith
. And here they all are, waiting to be dispatched!
The

store has been open in
#Gloucester

The
#Confessions

#MaryMillington
went to
@10DowningStreet
and exposed her bare boobs. She was the first (and very last person) to do it. Mary hid the incriminating roll of film up her fanny. Tomorrow I'm interviewing the daring photographer who took the photo for a new
