Is it possible to draw a cartoon of Rod Liddle without it coming out like a huge spunking cock? I have been trying all morning and the best I could manage was a huge weeing cock. But the wee was just after the cock has spunked so there was still some spunk in the wee.

My third and most successful (yet still unsuccessful) Pointless Celebrities appearance was on TV this evening. It was the one where I was on with my wife and she thought she was playing Family Fortunes. But I am lucky to have a wife who will indulge my obsessions with other women. As long as the other women are quiz shows.

I was watching Team Umi Zumi with my daughter when I saw people tweeting about it and I wondered how she’d react to seeing her parents on TV, so I switched over. She was quite excited, but was saying “Hello mummy” and then when mummy didn’t respond she said, “Why isn’t mummy saying hello?”

I am pretty sure this was a bit. It’s not like anyone else on TV answers your greetings. She kept doing her bit, but it was always about mummy. “What about daddy?”I asked, “Aren’t you excited to see him?”

“… why isn’t mummy saying hello?”

Ernie was looking on from the jumperoo. I wonder what he made of it.

After one question Phoebe was bored with her mother failing to respond and wanted Team Umi Zumi again. So she never found out if we won Pointless.

But she knows us, so she could take a pretty reasonable guess.

Luckily I don’t think dad being on TV will be too regular a problem for them to have to address. Can’t wait to tell them what a huge star I was back in the 90s though.
