SATURDAY 9TH JULY
Amazing day in Swansea, on the set of Sherlock, with Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, @Markgatiss and @steven_moffat. I love this show. (09/07/2011, 19:15)
Oh, and since you ask, the second series of Sherlock looks set to be the most INCREDIBLE thing EVER. And that’s all I’m saying. (09/07/2011, 19:27)
SATURDAY 16TH JULY
Interviewing Alex Kingston (Dr Who’s River Song) this afternoon. If you have any AMAZING questions, speak now. I’ll ask Alex the best ones. (16/07/2011, 11:28)
RT @scottbalf: @benjamin_cook Will she adopt me? (16/07/2011, 11:33)
Alex Kingston was a delight. (“I’ve got catchphrases. TWO catchphrases! I’m like Bruce Forsyth.”) Lots of River Song secrets. Ssh, spoilers! (16/07/2011, 18:48)
RT @scottbalf: River Song has just adopted me. Don’t be jel. (16/07/2011, 20:36)

TUESDAY 19TH JULY
I’m in London. About to quiz a prominent, titled public figure with close links to the police. Sorry, police BOX! I didn’t mean – ! Oh dear. (19/07/2011, 11:48)
What I mean is, I want your questions for Dr Who himself, Matt Smith. I’ll put the smartest, funniest & most interesting to him. GO, GO, GO! (19/07/2011, 11:49)
Talked flirting techniques with Matt Smith over lunch. Is he good? “I like to think so.” Advice? “Be brave. Don’t be afraid to be stupid.” (19/07/2011, 13:46)
I’m still in London. About to grill a confident, flame-haired lady. She’s been the loyal lieutenant of an ancient man who’s died many times. (19/07/2011, 15:29)
No! Sorry! I didn’t mean THAT one! Oh dear, my bad. I was talking about Dr Who’s Karen Gillan. Obviously. Final call for questions, please. (19/07/2011, 15:31)

SATURDAY 23RD JULY
I went to one of Amy Winehouse’s gigs in 2008. She punched a man in the front row. Amazing voice. Formidable left hook. She’ll be missed. (23/07/2011, 17:41)
