LL Cool J released a single from about '97/'98 called "Father". It has very specific experiences, and must have been hard for him to write.

The excitement of the new is always alluring.

My wife will only tickle me if I'm tied down.

I think, to be honest, that is always the best response.

Margaret Thatcher was a huge fan of "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister". Her appearance in a sketch based on it for a charity event nearly killed me.

He recorded some audiobooks, if I recall correctly.

Rafe Spall would make a great Flashman. He has the height (6'3"), and can play bullies (The Shadow Line showed this). He's also just about young enough to carry it off.

I'd love that - also McAuslan would probably make a good half-hour sitcom

It means "smashing", like wot I fink you are.
