"RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised"

Firstly, a female Doctor, played by an older actress with a background in theatre/comedy. For an added frisson, let's make the sidekick character the husband. And we'll lose the whole 'Doctor' tag and reveal the birth name, which is spelled 'Bucket' but

The media treating this story as some hilarious 'village that roared' nighy-dench-mirren movie is pissing me right the fuck off. It's soft-selling fascism. We have become an inward looking, xenophobic joke.

I'm a handyman. Many of my tools have names or theme tunes that I sing when looking for them. My favourite is 'Allen Keys, call on me. Call on me, Allen Keys.' Hope Steve Winwood's OK with this.

My first morning in the Omaze house. I didn’t sleep. I could hear crying from behind the door I’m not allowed to open.The only thing to eat is frozen prawns. I went for a wander round the 4 acre garden and found a box of VHS tapes marked ‘For the next one’. I’m sure it’s fine. I’m sure it’s all fine
