    My favourite moment in the Succession finale was when Kendall takes the lift after his life just imploded and has to share it with some bloke from accounts who nips in at the last second. Office culture captured perfectly.

    Can’t stop laughing imagining an American watching that Happy Valley finale. Not a gun in sight and two people screaming “you prick” at each other over a kitchen table. Incredible.

    This time a year ago my Granddad was living alone through Covid. Today he got to watch England reach the final with his great grandson. He’s 95, and was my age in ‘66. Football, bloody hell!

    The people inside those counting centres, staying focused and doing the tea run for each other while angry mobs and the President of the United States hurls abuse at them from the outside, are heroes I hope we one day get to hear from.

    OK straight up, no messing, what is the most perfect pop song of all time? For me it's a toss-up between Dancing on My Own and Brimful of Asha.

    For The Office Christmas special 20th anniversary, I spoke to @StephenMerchant, Martin Freeman and @ralphineson about their memories of filming it, from 'this kiss' to 'Chris, why don't you fuck off?' to the Scotch egg.

    Surely we’re not going to let this opportunity to create real, meaningful work-life balance, crack open up elitist industries and decentralise the country’s economy be undermined by a handful of desperate newspaper editors and greedy city centre landlords.

    Office life is your heart breaking perfectly in two at the exact moment someone goes "get up to much this weekend?"

    Many great lines in this vintage @joelgolby piece on soulless City and Jack Grealish

    not sure who needs their day ruined but there's a reasonable chance you're nearly as old, if not older, than Tony Soprano was in season one (34)
