The great thing about watching Lord of the Rings for the first time with my kids is not only do I get to relive the wonder through their eyes, discuss the intricacies of friendship, hope, courage, good & evil, but I also get to learn who’s chopped & who’s slay in the fellowship.

Here’s to a better year ahead for all, filled with peace, love, courage, hope, friendship, good health, adventures, laughter and magic. 💫❤️

Here’s to a merry everything and a happy always ❤️💫

Vocal noises by the tremendous Ali Mardell, @gmcgiv.bsky.social, @timdownie.bsky.social, Naomi McDonald, @jakeyapp.bsky.social and Hugh Dennis, tweaked by @tonychurnside.bsky.social and prodded by @jonholmes.bsky.social. Listen to (almost) the whole silly saga for a limited time on BBC Sounds. 📻

Episode 3 of No-Platformed floats onto Radio 4 tonight at 23.15. Episode 4 has been delayed indefinitely by stupid Christmas, so 3 is your lot for now. Contains surface water, stupid jokes about spelling, and a badly behaved Formula 1 pit crew. You know. Normal stuff. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

I’m doing a Yuletide live signing event with Streamily on the 10th December, 7pm GMT/ 11am PST on my instagram. Join me for merriment, tunes and possibly moths. Prints available to order now streamily.com/timdownie. See you there on the 10th!

Shelfie time! 📚📖

Starring the mighty trio of Alexandra Mardell, @gmcgiv.bsky.social and @timdownie.bsky.social and a whole bunch of obscenely fine guests, and produced by @jonholmes.bsky.social, all of whom can expect approximately 35p in residuals.

Well, this is a lovely surprise. Next month* there will be another chance to hear a show I wrote called No-Platformed which I assumed had been consigned to audio oblivion. As I recall, it contains quite a lot of strange jokes. 📻 www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... *assuming the BBC makes it to December

BBC Radio 4 - No-Platformed

Comedy that drives a train through sitcom-land via a platform crowded with silly jokes.
