@MarinaPurkiss Call me naive but if enough people report this breach of lockdown law doesn't there have to be an investigation? Oh, hang on, no, no, I am naive. And silly. Silly me.

@IvanBrett @tweetsbyrayan and Wilfred have asked me what I think of the Scottish characters in #TheTraitorsUS . Ok, why me? Well, the background is that (as you’ll see in my bio) I’m Fergus in the show and also, yeah PhD in film and media. If you’re not asleep yet then hurrah…

This is quite right - I did a TV job a while ago and at lunch the director came to my trailer and said, 'thank you, I really liked what you did this morning, it was really, really great' And that was me happy for three days or so. It's that easy.
