Jesus Christ, why do I open these threads 
I think their sons are something like 15 and 12. I could be wrong but at those ages I doubt Billie is saying 'you can't see your dad'. More likely they're the ones making the decision for themselves.
I just found it a tired rehash of "mildly depressed woman seeks validation through men." Traditionally, this meant validation through marriage, then Bridget Jones updated it to boyfriends, and Fleabag updated it to just sex. And it was so very smug.
Alun Cochrane came up earlier - I saw him doing stand-up years ago and he was very funny. He did a skit about being 6'3" and an inch too short to be medically classed as a giant.
Yeah I'm nearly sure he's alluded to it being the kids, tried to blame Billie for parental alienation, but if my dad went to court to stop me taking medication for a diagnosed condition and then told the twitter verse this, not respecting my privacy and letting the world know about my diagnosis, I doubt I'd want anything to do with him either.
Sounds like you’re already there…
I've always thought Laurence Fox was lost in the 
It's not homophobic there was a gay character for years and Winnie is a lesbian openly. Boc is not homophobic
Also see: Frankie Boyle.Baddiel and Skinner are/were gross. Making a big deal about watching porn when they shared a flat and both masturbating together. And the obsession with anal sex. Baddiel told a story about someone knocking at the door and he answered it with his trousers down saying 'sorry I've just had a wank'.
They've both pivoted now to being 'intellectuals'
I may be in a minority but I like Billie Piper's acting. She's great in Secret Diary of a Call Girl and Penny Dreadful.
Frankie Boyle is a massive bleep, tries ti act like is is a good guy now when most of his famous comedy was taking the piss out of people like Harvey- a child at the time. Yet now he does a lot of hand wringing like he is one of the good guys.
What is the programme? I’d like to watch it.
i don’t like frank but I do like poetry and his passion for it is softening my stance on him!
Depends on your bookcase? Have a vague memory of once reading that “one”
is middle class if the bookcase is bigger than the tv! We have 1 tiny, ancient tv and huge bookcases but we watch ridiculous amounts of telly, it’s literally always on.
She's really sweet. My brother is good mates with her last partner Johnny. He's also a lovely bloke. Lawrence Fox is a total bleep.
Wordsworth & Coleridge Road Trip with Frank Skinner and Denise Mina. It was on sky arts. I really enjoyed it. I did English Lit at Uni and Frank did a better job of explaining Wordsworth than my tutors did!
eta you can get sky arts on free view, we don't have Sky at home.

My elderly parents love it too as do their friends. I can’t bear it either and I don’t know anyone my age that does. My theory is that Mrs Brown Boys with its carry on humour, man in drag (think Dick Emery, Danny LaRue) is humour the older generation are familiar with from the 70’s. I can’t otherwise fathom it.
Iv googled her and she looks as old as my mum who is 57,im 34 and Natasha looks old enough to have had me at 20
sounds exactly like the Priscilla Presley story.
re Andrew Scott, if you like him, I recommend his latest film All of us Strangers - he's really good in it and it's an excellent film. I never liked Fleabag and he's excruciating in Sherlock so it was a nice surprise. ( haven't watched the new Ripley yet tho)
Frank Skinner used to be all right on sky arts artist of the year shows but I much prefer Stephen Mangan who does it now.
re Piper & Fox, I always wondered about that - about whether she married him thinking he was normal/ decent and he'd just been hiding it, or if he really was okay and then he became radicalised later on. Who knows. I don't want to blame her or suggest she should have known better - lord knows I regret staying in one relationship in particular with a total nightmare of a man despite everyone telling me I was being a fool. So I ain't gonna judge her for that. But people are always cheerleading her and going " you go girl" for divorcing him eight years ago which I find weird. She's moved on. I guess they mostly want to mock him for being divorced rather than to praise her but still.
Jesus I just found out he's 45. I would have said 55.
