The opportunity to perform these very funny #GaltonAndSimpson #GoonShow sketches on stage is a dream gig. #PeterSellers did it in 1954, and I get to bring them back to life and laughs in 2026, what an honour 🙏🏻🎙️🎭 #voiceactor #actorslife

Wonderful to be performing long forgotten #GoonShow material in the show's 75th anniversary year. And my word, what a line up folks!

This will be a wonderful event, and I am really looking forward to bringing two long forgotten #GoonShow scripts to life on stage. Needle-Nardle-Noo!

Parker tries to steal my drink, but her cunning plan is thwarted by a straw! Great day out with family and sharing a “place of the heart” with Parker who went barmy in the forest and loved every second. Sometimes I think I need to “be more Parker” she‘s living her best life 🐾❤️ and life’s a gift!

Very sad to read of the passing of the great #MichaelKeating, legend of #Blakes7 and passionate rambler. In another life I had the good fortune to chat with Michael for my radio show. Here's that interview from 2005 by way of a tribute: youtu.be/b4RUKyvGJu0

Question for the social media hive mind... Do I dispose of my archive ("hoarding") of cassette recordings of my BBC Radio shows (which I'll never listen to again in all honesty)... OR... do I hold on to them and sacrifice shelf space? I mean, seriously, who'd want them in the future?

This is so exciting! As a lifelong #JamesHorner fan and collector I could not resist backing this project to record some classic James Horner Television Music on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/sky...

Delighted to be mentioned in such august and talented company 📚

It is 10 years this month since we recorded the pilot for 'Ben Bernard's Driving Ambition!' at a fab studio in Reading, with the late and much missed Robert F Ball directing. Another attempt to get #MrBenBernard out there thwarted. I've given up now. Anyway, here's the trailer: youtu.be/l2E6t_k5AZI

“You went out into the wide world and made your plans as you went along and hoped the gods of adventure would be good to you.” (Leslie Charteris, ‘The Saint Sees It Through’) I adore this quote, it’s quite a thing to aspire to!

Gratitude to @allinthetelling.bsky.social for your kindness in highlighting my work 🙏🏻📚

Really looking forward to performing some long forgotten #GoonShow material in the 75th anniversary year. These #TPTV events are wonderful, so do grab a ticket if you can @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social @thegsps.bsky.social @goonshow.org @tonyhancock.bsky.social

Today is #StMarksEve and I have been fascinated by some of the folklore attached to it. After a creative fallow period I have written a ghost story of sorts, set on this day in the year 2000. I’m rather pleased with the result. Should I post it somewhere?

I recently filmed a couple of scenes to promote my #acting skills. One of them, a scene from '1984' has been a moderate success on YouTube with a small number of #likes and 200+ views. The other is a real gem, but lacking the same traction. I'm really quite proud of it: youtu.be/VVOY89FCbSc?...

As a freelance #actor & #voiceartist I try to remember that it is selection NOT rejection. You have to be positive. I've been booked for some amazing projects for later this year, and I've been invited to #selftape audition for things that haven't worked out alas. I am very grateful and fortunate 🎭

If you are searching for an #Actor or #Voiceartist for your next project I could be the one! With that in mind here's my #ShowreelShare youtu.be/CzKRgJ6j2Cg?...

Absolutely thrilled to be returning to the storyteller's chair for another gripping tale of the supernatural for #halloween2026. A chiller from #AlgernonBlackwood for my 6th year reading these classic tales at an array of wonderful venues. More details here: neunoir.wordpress.com/2026/03/19/a...
